What a great way to start off my new year! I
can only hope that 2008 brings me as much
joy as getting this new windscreen installed

Christmas but didn't get it installed with
all the hustle and bustle of the holiday
until yesterday. It really makes me happy.

It has only been two weeks since I installed
it in my car and I already have two
co-workers interested in your product. One
guy should be ordering his this afternoon.
So, when you get an order for Matthew later
today, know that I sent him your way because
of my unrelentless bragging on my new
addition to my Pontiac. Everyone is used to
hearing me brag now, I guess. It is perfect.

History of the MG MGB
The MGB was
Britain's best-selling sports car model. Launched in May 1962 to replace the
MGA, the MGB was manufactured until 22 October 1980 — originally
by the
British Motor Corporation and under the
MG marque.
MGB production continued throughout restructuring of the British motor industry,
and the parent company’s transition from BMC to
British Motor Holdings (in 1966) and to British Leyland Motor Corporation (in 1968).
Originally introduced as a
convertible, a coupé ("GT") version was introduced in 1965. The MGB featured a four
cylinder engine. A derivative model, called the "MGC" featured a six cylinder
engine and a limited production variant, called the "MGB GT V8" fitted with the
ex-Buick Rover V8 engine was made from 1973 to 1976. Combined production volume of
MGB, MGC and MGB GT V8 models was 523,836 cars. A very limited-production
derivative model with only 2,000 units made, called "RV8" was produced by
Rover in the 1990s. Despite the similarity in appearance, the RV8 had less
than 5% parts interchangeability with the original car.
The MGB was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction. It
utilized a
unibody/monocoque structure that reduced both weight and manufacturing costs
as well as adding chassis strength. This was a considerable improvement in
comparison to that of the traditional
body-on-frame construction used on the MGA and
T-type models as
well as the MGB's rival, the Triumph TR series. The design included wind-up
windows and a comfortable driver's compartment.
The MGB's performance was brisk for the period, with a 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h)
time of just over 11 seconds, largely because of the relatively light weight of
the car. Handling was one of the MGB’s strong points. The 3-bearing 1798 cc
B-Series engine produced 95 hp (71 kW) at 5400 rpm. The engine was upgraded
in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft in an effort to improve
reliability. A majority of MGBs were exported to United States. In 1974, as US
air pollution emission standards became more rigorous, US-market MGBs were
de-tuned for compliance. As well as a marked reduction in performance, the MGB
gained 1" in ride height and the distinctive rubber bumpers.
The MGB was one of the first cars to feature controlled crumple
zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30 mph (48 km/h)
impact with an immovable barrier (200 ton).
