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.
One look at this 1960 MG MGA 1600 and you know it’s a special car. Check out its black paint job and 15-inch chrome wire wheels. You’ll also notice that this is a coupe rather than a convertible, which is great for all-weather enjoyment. The car’s bumpers and grille are also covered in chrome, and the whole thing is just 156 inches long and 58 inches wide. Now that’s diminutive! The interior of this 1960 MG MGA 1600 features two red leather-upholstered seats and a red-trimmed dashboard. It’s a place where driving enjoyment takes precedence, with no unnecessary fripperies or digital distractions to disturb the atmosphere of purity.
This 1960 MG MGA 1600 enjoys a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, powering the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The car comes with front disc brakes and rear drums for excellent stopping power. Refurbishment parts include a D9 camshaft and bearings, adjustable camshaft sprocket, a Jaguar-sourced timing-chain tensioner, a camshaft tachometer drive gear, replacement rocker shaft assemblies and pushrods, 0.010” main and rod bearings, and a custom coolant-block-off sleeve thermostat. Also replaced are the cylinder head and manifold hardware, wiring harness, voltage regulator, starter motor, and more. So, this car is just waiting to be driven in enjoyment.

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.
Are you the sort of person who wants a classic car that’s diminutive, spunky and can really show you a good time? If so, venturing into the quirky world of British Roadsters is a fine rabbit hole to disappear down. Cars like this 1962 MG MGA Mark II were staples of British sports car motoring in their heyday, and today, they continue to offer a driving experience that can really make you have a good time. Their simplicity and lightness means that they are devoid of digital distractions and myriad systems that seem to need software updates at the most inopportune times. Instead, they force you to use all your arms and legs and discover what true driving bliss really can be. Today’s example hails from Kansas and is fresh from a full restoration as reported by the current owner. The car has also received a larger engine, but the original 1.6-liter unit is included, in a crate.
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.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
