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 1955 Woodill Wildfire occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation’s first production fiberglass sports car, predating many of the specialty fiberglass cars that followed. Created by California entrepreneur Blanchard Woodill, the Wildfire combined lightweight construction with sleek styling and was even featured in several Hollywood films during the 1950s. Today, fewer than 25 examples are believed to survive, making the Wildfire one of the rarest American sports cars in existence. Showing just 408 miles, this professionally build example has been transformed with a Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain, a powerful 396ci big block V8, and numerous performance and cosmetic upgrades. A multiple award-winning build, it also includes a professional car show display sign and a fitted car cover for its next caretaker.
