The Mk III MGB was introduced in October 1971, with a revised interior, with centre console housing rocker switches and two vents in the middle. An armrest was fitted between the front seats, which now had nylon inserts.
In October 1974, the model underwent its most dramatic visual change when large black 'rubber' bumpers on front and rear were added to meet US impact regulations. The nose was redesigned and front indicators incorporated into the bumper. The ride height of the car was increased slightly and overdrive included as standard.
JGD was subjected to a glass out restoration that included new floors, sills and lower rear wings, with a change from blue to Damask Red in the mid 1990's. the owner unfortunately never finished the work before he passed. It then went to his son in law, he did not finish it and it changed hands again being completed by Michael Scott in February 2022. Our vendor bought it in July 2022 at auction and has fettled it. He has now decided to pass it on due his advancing years.
