They were not fitted to UK models

But the ride height was raised and those horrid bumpers were on UK
spec models. Ruining a once half decent looking/handling car.

Which knocks your argument into the middle of the Atlantic. Nothing
new there.

The MGB: show it a corner and it'll show you a ditch. As they used to
say all fur coat and no knickers.

You should have tried an MGC circa 1969. Even worse. Far too front heavy.

Another weird BMC product. That boat anchor of an engine made it little
faster than the MGB and ruined the handling. Bit like the Austin 3 litre
versus the 1800.
