ITALIAN CAR DESIGNERS "PININFARINA" WERE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING THE MGB GT WITH IT'S ICONIC FASTBACK ROOF LINE AND OVERALL COUPE STYLING IN COLLABORATION WITH MG’S IN-HOUSE TEAM. WHILE THE MGB GT ORIGINATED FROM SKETCHES BY MG’S JIM STIMSON, PININFARINA INCORPORATED KEY FEATURES, SUCH AS THE ROOF LINE AND THE "FEATURE LINE" OR CREASE, RESULTING IN THE FINAL, WIDELY PRAISED DESIGN. THE MGB GT WAS PRODUCED FROM 1965 TO 1980, KNOWN FOR ITS PRACTICAL HATCHBACK DESIGN, PROVIDING A MORE CIVILISED ALTERNATIVE TO THE MGB ROASTER WITH SALOON-LIKE COMFORT AND A SPORTY FEEL. IT FEATURES A 1. 8 LITRE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE, 4-SPEED GEARBOX AND A MONOCOQUE BODY, OFFERING INCREASED WEIGHT. HOWEVER, BETTER AERODYNAMICS THAN THE ROASTER, AND A HIGHER TOP SPEED. THE MGB GT REMAINS A VERY POPULAR USABLE CLASSIC CAR WHICH CAN BE KEPT RELEVANT WITH MODERN FUEL OR CONVERSION TO ELECTRIC (HEAVEN FORBID !).
