My first car was what I was told at the time was a 1973.5 MGB. It had
rubber bumpers and dual carbs (which the later 1974s did not have). Now I
may have all of this wrong as it was over 20 years ago. Life On Mars is set
in the late summer of 1973 so I suppose it is possible that an early 1974
car could be on the streets.

I also could be wrong, but I think it was the 1974 model year where there was a
"split":
early cars had rubber "block" overriders, such as in this photo:

while the later 1974s and subsequent cars had the full rubber facias, such as
