To confirm what others have posted, the "Original MGB" book (Clausager)
lists the 18GG engine series as 1969-71, so definitely a chrome-bumper
car (assuming the engine is original).

The straight switch was replaced by the "crooked" switch in 1965 (before
the GT came out), but a lot of people (including me) have used the
straight switch as a replacement since it costs 1/3 as much.
