Dinky Toys 113; MGB; Cream, Red Seats

Originally introduced as a convertible, a coupé (the hatchbacked "GT", almost a shooting brake) version, with 2+2 seating, was introduced in 1965. The MGB featured a four-cylinder petrol engine. A derivative model, called the "MGC" featured a six-cylinder engine and a later 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. The bodywork was based on the Renault Caravelle/Floride.

Dinky made the roadster in white from 1962 to 1969 with no variations. Blue and red versions were made for export to South Africa, these are very rare indeed.
