Remember that the MGB GT was an afterthought, so the B roadster was already
stiff, and they did not take anything off when they added the metal top.

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? :-)
