In the Fifties, American cars were getting bigger, more brutish and powerful. V8s were the norm, as were flared fenders, massive overhangs and bulbous designs. Meanwhile, across the pond in Great Britain, things were very different. The motorcar was of a more compact stance, with small, frugal engines and lower levels of sheer size and bulk. The MG T-Type series of open-topped two-seater sports cars was a great case in point. Actually, the series was called the Midget and produced between 1936 and 1955. Today’s 1953 MG TD comes from the tail end of the series, then. With a mere 26,663 miles, this Kentucky-based curio is definitely worthy of consideration if you want something that’s totally different from the rest.
When the TD debuted in 1950, the preceding TC had already been exported to the United States, albeit in right-hand drive form. The TD changed this, as it was available with left-hand drive. Not only that, it gained a little bit of size, particularly width, to make it more appealing to American drivers and tastes. This particular car wears a glamorous red paint job and complements it with a tan canvas drop-top for weather protection. With its steel wheels, chrome hubcaps and chrome external luggage rack, it’s the quintessential British grand tourer! The interior of this 1953 MG TD is also in tan, and can easily accept two adults, sitting on its low-backed semi-bench seat with individual lap belts for each occupant. The car’s black dashboard hosts a bevy of blue-faced analog dials, while there’s a USB charger retrofitted to help keep your smart devices juiced up when on the go. After all, it’s way too easy to get lost in the beauty of driving this car, and end up behind the wheel for hours on end!
The little 1.2-liter 4-cylinder mill that powers this 1953 MG TD is a surprisingly tenacious thing. Don’t ask us about horsepower as it’s definitely in the double, rather than triple figures. That being said, the 4-speed manual transmission means that you can extract some pretty good progress. Plus, the car’s rear-wheel drive layout aids its handling and agility.

The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1951 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.
Imagine if an automaker made a car called Midget today! There would be mass uproar, massive social media campaigns of condemnation and a lot of flak to contend with. The world sure has become a rather touchy place. No such finickiness existed in 1961 when British sports car maker MG or Morris Garages released a diminutive two-seat roadster. They simply called it the Midget because it was one of their smaller offerings. Prior, the Midget nameplate had been seen on some of their other cars too. So what’s so funky about this 1971 MG Midget MKIII from Indiana, Pennsylvania? Well, for starters it’s a fantastic way to experience true, unadulterated sports car motoring because it relies on light weight and small dimensions to give you a good time rather than brute force and wallowing about. Granted, these cars are well built to stand the test of time. So call us ASAP if you want it.
Giant Killers. That’s what nippy British sports cars like this 1960 MG MGA are often referred to as. Unlike our typical American performance car with its large V8 and massive dimensions, British sports cars use small, frugal engines, dinky dimensions and light weight to punch massively above their class. This also makes them truly exciting to drive because remember, its always more fun to wring out a car to its very last drop of performance rather than be forced to merely toe the throttle for much of your driving time. With cars like the MGA, you can enjoy rorty revving engines and crisp cornering, all without exceeding the speed limit most of the time. If you’d like to get in on the classic British sports car action, this 3,850-mile car currently waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina, for a new owner.
You may have heard of MG or Morris Garages. This British automaker started life in 1924, founded by a man named Cecil Kimber. Kimber was many things, including a race car driver, innovator, businessman and engineer. He famously said that “a sports car should look fast even when standing still”. No wonder he created some of the best driving machines, and even after his demise in 1945, the company stayed true to his philosophy for many decades thereafter. That’s why a British sports car from the 1950s or 1960s is considered to offer a fantastic driving experience, showcasing that you don’t need a lot of power or a massive engine to have fun. This 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe is a fine example of that, with its 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission. The car is for sale from Miami, and comes with 85,619 miles to its name.
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and 62,148 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Now here’s one for those who seek a classic Mustang in cruiser style. This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Hot Springs Village, in all its Wimbledon White glory. The vehicle has got over 120,000 miles on its 200ci straight six, and features a 3-speed automatic transmission as well. This makes it great for those who can’t drive stick, or haven’t done so in a long time. We’re told that the car drives exceptional, with no rust, plus everything on the vehicle is fully functional. With over 550,000 Mustangs sold in 1965, finding one isn’t hard, but finding one in great shape like this is rather less conducive. So if you want to get this car for yourself, don’t waste any time in contacting our team.
One of Chevy’s most popular compacts of the Sixties and Seventies, cars like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Restomod ruled the roost of sporty small cars. They were available in frugal six-cylinder form, or with small-block V8s under the hood. Today’s car, however, is a build like no other. It rocks a mammoth 454ci V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a TH-350 automatic gearbox. A 2.5-inch aftermarket exhaust ensures that everyone hears the rumble of the big V8 as you streak by in a flash of burnt orange, riding upon REV 109 classic Magnum 15-inch wheels. You’ll even get dual four-point harnesses which are currently not installed, in case you want to take this Nova to a track or strip.
