By good gracious Your RIGHT!

MGB ROADSTER 62-70
Unladen Weight 1920 lb

MGB GT 67-71
Unladen Weight 2190 lb

(from the Moss Motors Site)

I had believed that the ammount of metal required to stiffen a roadster
was easily offset by the roof/pillars and glass. 2190??? That sbox is
heavy. A 240 Z weighs that much. Leaded glass? :-)
