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.
CIB was bought by George Gardiner in Armagh in 2021, he states, in a letter that it was restored c.2000/2005 which included a reconditioned engine, the odometer was set to zero. When he bought the car it had been off the road for 5 years and he had it recommissioned, including brakes, carbs rebuilt, GAZ rear shocks and waxoyling. It was sold to our vendor in 2022 and fully serviced at the time. The odometer currently reads 9602, so the engine will be nicely run in.
