A U-Haul agent cobbled a hitch for my '75 MGB. As I recall, there was
a fore&aft piece that attached to a cross bracket near the front of the
spare tire well floor, and another smaller cross bracket that bolted
through the rear of the well.
It worked great for me, towing a Laser on a trailer for thousands of
miles. Hooking up lights was the greatest hassle. I used one two lights
each side, one a dual filament for tail & brake, and a single filament
fixture for turn signals. It is possible to merge the MG system into a
two-filament US system, but I never could get it to work reliably. A
filament for each function worked well.
MG Owners Club sold hitches a few years ago too. They may still. If
you get theirs, keep in mind that it's probably made with a 50mm ball,
not the 1 7/8 USA ball.
