While I appreciated the prominence given the MGB in this article, and I
enjoy the magazine in general, I actually had several quibbles with the
content -- with questions of fact as well as with what I felt were
unjustified or careless generalizations. For example, the author couldn't
seem to make up his mind whether the changes that defined the "Mark II"
began with the 1967 or the 1968 model year (possibly he was confusing
calendar year with model year). So while I would give it credit as a decent
introductory overview, I wouldn't exactly call it definitive. Of course, no
one would expect it to be on the level of an Automobile Quarterly monograph.
