Rubber-Bumper MGB: A Sensible Choice
April 5, 2009
The rubber-bumper MGB has been given a bum rap for too long. Our opinion? They make excellent, practical drivers.
When the rubber-bumper MGB was introduced .........
They were known as the 'rubber' bumper MGB but were produced with Polyurathane bumpers. I guess the 'Polyurathane' bumper MGB didn't have quite the same ring to it.
Since you persist in questioning the answer I think you should not only have 25 points deducted but also have to do a forfeit
Suggestions on a postcard please
Dunlop indeed, yes Chris very funny
As we seam to stuck on the manufacturer I'll let you know it was Marley Foam, of Lenham, Kent which produced the Polyurathane bumpers for the MGB.
alanrt54 - your turn. If you're struggling to set a question let me know and I'll post one.
The result of De Tomaso’s financial woes are that Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC) has licensed production of the Deauville for a €15 million fee. According to the Cars UK website, no word yet on when the Chinese will get round to building the Deauville, and whether or not it’s destined to be a China-only car or will be exported to the West.
