There’s a segment of people who don’t want large sports cars with immense engines and vulgar horsepower figures. They don’t crave for sizable bodies and significant bulk. Instead, they prefer the lightness and simplicity of the traditional British roadster. There are plenty of fine examples from myriad manufacturers to pick, and today, we’ve got one from Morris Garages, or MG for short. This 1955 MG TF comes from their T-Type lineage of 1936 to 1955. So, it’s from the last year of production of the series, and has traveled almost 80,000 miles so far. Having undergone a full restoration and with a car cover included in the sale, this fine British roadster awaits a new owner in Lexington, Virginia.
British Racing Green is a suitably fitting color for this 1955 MG TF, as it’s not only period correct, but has sporting connotations as well. Riding on a set of nice period wire wheels and whitewall tires, the car is not only open-topped, but open-sided to a certain degree as well. However, you’ve got a full set of coverings for it, including a black canvas top, side curtains and even a tonneau cover. We’re also told that the car bears a sound chassis and wood, banishing any woes about longevity or hidden rot. Take a few moments to appreciate its graceful curves, external running boards, and rear-mounted spare tire with luggage rack before we check out the interior. The interior is also in green, with two low-back seats facing a simple dashboard. The driver enjoys a wood-rimmed steering wheel and manual gear shifter, with three pedals, including an interesting, roller-styled throttle pedal. The gauge cluster is located in the center console, easily visible by either occupant of this British sports car. It’s pretty comprehensive, with octagonal-shaped gauges showing speed, engine revs, water temperature, oil pressure and battery amperage. Look closer and you’ll even see a clock within the speedometer!
With its 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, you might expect this 1955 MG TF to be slow, but its light weight somewhat mitigates that. Plus, the car has a 4-speed manual transmission and is rear-wheel drive, so you can have quite a bit of fun with it. Remember that it’s far more fun to drive flat-out all the time, than be restricted to using just 10 or 15 percent of the power on hand. That’s what British roadsters offer – flat-out motoring well within the speed limits.

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.
“Tastefully done”, this is a line used in moderation within the world of automotive.

Present today is this lovely 1974 BMW 3.0 CS, it's a machine that can pass off as the poster child of “tastefully done”. Located in Delray Beach, Florida, and with just 27,088 miles on its clock, this classic BMW is a car that makes you look twice and might take up a significant portion of your day, lost in reverie.

The prancing horse, or better yet known as Ferrari, has long been the purveyor of a car ownership experience that's unlike any out there. From its bedroom wall poster to clocking in rapid lap times worldwide, the Italian manufacturer is a true legend in the automotive world. While taking ownership of a Ferrari is a milestone in anyone's life, it does come with a tax - the actual cost of owning one and allowing it to clock in the miles and provide you with a good time on every drive out. Breaking through the matrix that is Ferrari ownership is otherworldly, but worry not: there is always a solution. Present today is this 1986 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole. With a reported 24,000 miles on its clock, this is the answer to all your prancing horse problems and has always been labeled as a "usable" Ferrari.
