MGB MK I: An Icon of the 1960s
The original model presented here is the MGB MK I, a classic first produced in 1962. This generation, built from 1962 to 1967, represents British automotive heritage and technical progress. The MGB MK I was available as a Roadster and GT, known for its streamlined design and reliability. The car was the successor to the MGA and offered a larger passenger cabin and improved driving characteristics. Chief engineer Don Hayter and the design office team played a crucial role in the car's development. The vehicle was equipped with a 1.8-liter engine producing 92 horsepower and capable of reaching a top speed of 170 km/h (105 mph). At the time the first MGB MK I hit the roads, the Beatles were rising to fame, and the first James Bond film, "Dr. No," was released, reflecting the vibe of the 60s.

Technical Features and Design of the Original

This enabled the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 11 seconds – a remarkable performance for its time. Additionally, the vehicle had a lightweight monocoque chassis contributing to its agile handling. Disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear ensured a secure braking performance. The interior of the car provided comfort with a sporty character. Another feature was the optional overdrive gearbox, allowing for more efficient power transmission.
