The MGB is a two-door sports car manufactured and marketed by MG Cars and its successors as a four-cylinder, soft-top roadster — along with variants including the MGB GT three-door 2+2 coupé, the six-cylinder roadster and coupé MGC, and the eight-cylinder 2+2 coupé, the MGB GT V8. Replacing the MGA in 1962, production of the MGB and its variants continued by the British Motor Corporation and its successors, British Motor Holdings and British Leyland Motor Corporation until 1980 — achieving sales for the MGB, MGC and MGB GT V8 of 523,836 cars. The MGB bodyshell was reprised in modified form with a limited run of 2,000 MG RV8 roadsters.
