Overdrive option

["Richard H. Cady" <cadyxrh@ctxix.sod.eds.com>]

Hi All;

Is it true that the overdrive on MGBs was a fairly rare option in the late
60s early 70s in the USA?  I recently converted my 70 roadster to overdrive
and am amazed how I lived without it.  Certainly the overdrive should have
been fitted to all MGBs imported to the US with our long stretches of
interstates.  Thanks.
