    It went from square arch to roundarch for a year or so then back to squared off but rubber bumper but I'm not sure really. The roundarch ones weren't popular for a couple of reasons, mainly the insurance companies because just a simple hit in the rear creased/buckled the bodyshell across the shallow rear wheel arch and wrote the shell off. If you were really unlucky, the bump pushed the tank into the bumper and split it open too! We see a few making the pilgrimage to their ancestral home during the summer. It's funny how the classic MGB GT's STILL look ageless

    How come its a left hooker in NZicon 5th Batt? Non standard motor/box with those larger dia wheels?

    Think it was 76 and onwards, (had a 79 MG Midget Rubber bumper, 1500 engine and Marina Gear box.)

    5thBatt, Nice cars but the Mk11 Cortina wins it for me, its one of the top 5 cars on the want list, was very close to buying a Mk3 last year but decided to hold on for a Mk11, unless a Mk1 Escort pops up at the right price.
