Michael:
75 was a strange year for MGB's. Very early 75's (through March or so,
I believe) had single Zeniths, no cat, a Lucas 45D dizzy (points) and
no special trim options. Midyear 75's (through August, I believe) had
a catalytic converter, single Zenith, and a 45D dizzy, but some special
trim packages (anniversary edition, for example) were available. Late
year cars are indistinguishable from the 76's ... had the Zenith,
cat converter, but had the Lucas 45DE (electronic ignition) dizzy
fitted to them. The only thing left to mark them as 75's were the chrome
licence plate lamps and the anniversary trim options.
Hope that helps.
