My  description is based on the fact that like all British car
companies of the  era, MG itself *made* very little.  They bought
gauges from Smiths,  electrical components from Lucas, wheels
from Dunlop, etc.  Drivetrain  components were derived from a
standard assortment produced by their parent  company


I believe the proper term was "Bin build" as the cars (MGB's included)  would 
be built by using parts out of various "Bins" located along the  assembly 
line at Abingdon. This was how most if not all cars were built  during the 
BMC/British Leyland years.
