The MG T Type marked the birth of open-top British motoring. Pre-war, the humble yet exotic car would spark a memory of blasting down a B road, top-down and all, and post-war cars like the MG TC ensured you could blast down a winding stretch of road top-down and knowing the worst is behind you. Looking to wash off the stress of yesterday? This 1949 MG TC RHD we have today is a neat way of going about it; it's a right-hand drive example built for the American market, making it road ready as well.
The TC was the first post-war MG, and was a symbol of triumph and victory. Reflecting those values on this 1949 MG TC RHD is a lovely off-white exterior with a matching convertible soft top that hugs those 40s design cues and brings out the lovely chrome components on the exterior as well. The exterior is in great condition, with the owner reporting a repaint. Features like the twin rear lights and tubular chrome bumpers that are found only on US models are still present in the car. Summing up the whole design is a set of 19” Dunlop wire wheels that sport chrome MG center caps. Pulling off a green interior is very hard but the green interior on this 1949 MG TC RHD does it perfectly, and looks the part. The current owner reports a new interior that features a new period-correct MG steering wheel, new carpeting, and leather seats for extra comfort.
Underneath the lovely body design and away from the well-appointed interior, you will find what powers this classic British beauty. Under the hood lies a 1.3 L inline four powertrain that, at first glance, sparks an image of automotive art. The twin carburetors and the engine bay look just right and is reported to have run less than 1,000 miles since the rebuild. While it had only 54hp from the factory, which was a lot for its time, this particular powertrain is known to be highly tunable to release more ponies. The current owner reports new brakes for better stopping power. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a manual transmission reported to have been rebuilt and comes with a new clutch.

MG or Morris Garages is one of the most iconic British automakers in history. Today, the brand is under Chinese ownership and primarily makes SUVs and sedans, with some electric mobility options too. But if you look at its storied history, MG was well-known for making some of the most fun-to-drive British sports cars. What’s so great about British sports cars? You see, they are the very opposite to what we Americans consider sporting. These are tiny cars, smaller than your average subcompact, with low-displacement engines that merrily hum away. However, these flyweights are anything but slow; they can drive circles around larger, lumbering V8 machines. The MGA model came in 1955 and ran until 1962. Over 100,000 were produced, majority of which were exported. Today’s 1960 MG MGA 1600 is one of those examples, and has received a fair bit of replacement parts to keep it as fresh as possible. Now, the car waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina for a new owner. The current owner includes the refurbishment records and photos with the sale.
For us Americans, the idea of sporty driving means large vehicles with massive V8s and at least 300 horses waiting to be unleashed. Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, things were rather different in the ʼ60s, ʼ70s and ʼ80s. There, a sports car was a little thing, often no larger than a compact car, often sporting a four-cylinder engine under the hood. Enter the world of the British Roadster – open-topped machines with modest power figures and low kerb weights. This 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster is a prime example of a ʼ70s British Roadster and it’s for sale by its original owner right now. The car boasts a host of new parts, a rebuilt engine, and up-to-date servicing. What more could you ask for?
The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1955 MG TD Roadster is one of the last of them, well-preserved by the previous owner. Although it might not seem so, the TD Roadster was a sports car of the time. The TD was specifically praised for its upgraded suspension setup and ride quality, over its previous generations. It was exclusively offered as an open-top machine with a single powertrain combination. The current owner of this particular car reports that it has been in their family for around 9–10 years. If you’re seeking a classic car in good condition or the TD Roadster in particular, this one is an impressive proposition to consider.
