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.
