Mainly because they had the mandated safety-padded dashboard - the 'pillow'
dash
- that eliminated the glovebox..... Many people think it
is quite ugly. Personally, I am okay with it.

Don, or anyone else, why are the 68-70 Bs treated like the ugly step-child?
I'm not overly well-versed on the differences.

Looks like Keith Martin of Sports Car Market fame shares my love of
MGBs. In the article linked below he says he wants to purchase three
MGBs for a family pilgrimage to the MG meet in Reno.
However, I think he is dreaming if he thinks he can find a steel-dash
B that is in good shape for $5,000. He wants to find three MGBs for
a total of cost of under $15,000. Says he wants 1963-67 or '71-'74
. He may find '71-'74 Bs for that price, but not an early one if it
is in decent shape.
I have been searching for an early MGB for some time now, and if I
found a nice one for less than $10,000 I would feel very lucky.
