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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Introduced in 1959 as the successor to the original MGA 1500, the MGA 1600 brought improved performance and braking while retaining the timeless styling that helped define British sports cars of the era. This 1961 MG MGA 1600 Roadster shows 64,168 miles and is finished in attractive Chariot Red over a black interior with white piping. Equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission and a folding white convertible top, this classic roadster offers the pure, analog driving experience that made MG a favorite among sports car enthusiasts worldwide. With its elegant proportions, chrome brightwork, and unmistakable open-top character, this MGA is a wonderful example of one of Britain’s most celebrated postwar sports cars.
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.
The MGB is one of Britain’s most enduring sports cars, earning a reputation for delivering open-air driving enjoyment with simple mechanicals, timeless styling, and exceptional parts availability. By 1972, the chrome-bumper MGB had reached its stride, offering refined road manners while retaining the lightweight, engaging character that made the model famous around the world. Showing 19,852 miles, this 1972 MG MGB Roadster presents beautifully in Glacier White over a black interior and represents one of the last chrome-bumper examples before federally mandated bumper changes altered the MGB’s iconic appearance. Tastefully enhanced with classic accessories while preserving its vintage charm, this British roadster is equally at home on winding back roads, weekend cruises, or local British car gatherings.
Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster quickly became one of Britain’s most successful sports cars, combining timeless styling, dependable engineering, and an engaging driving experience at an affordable price. This 1965 MG B Roadster represents the desirable early chrome-bumper era and shows just 14,351 miles on the odometer. Finished in classic Tartan Red over a black interior, this roadster retains much of its original character while benefiting from a reupholstered interior and tasteful upgrades. Whether carving through winding back roads or enjoying an open-top cruise on a sunny afternoon, this MG B delivers the simple, analog driving experience that has made it a favorite among enthusiasts for generations.
