British sports cars are the antithesis of everything that defines an American sports car. While we like our large, flamboyant sports car with plenty of power, the Brits did things very differently in the Fifties through the Eighties. They preferred smaller bodies with compact road footprints that could quickly nip along narrow country roads. They traded massive and thirsty engines for smaller, more economical ones. Instead of sheer horsepower, they focused on usable power and light curb weights to achieve sprightly performance. That's precisely what this 1966 MG Midget offers its next lucky owner. A lightweight, two-seat, open-topped sports car that's most at home when driven hard down a winding road. While you sit mere inches off the road and wind up the rorty engine, maintaining as much momentum as possible through a set of corners, you'll grin widely and be surprised at how much fun this car offers at 50 or even 30mph. The current owner says that the mileage is most like 113,338 miles since it only has a five-figure odometer. More critically, it's said to be an all-original car that's been garage-kept. Will you be its next owner, then?
We forgot to mention another key factor about British roadsters, and that's their color palette. Bright was the order of the day, as evidenced by the bright red paint that this 1966 MG Midget proudly wears. The car comes with its original chrome bumpers and rolls on wire wheels. It's also got a soft top and tonneau cover in case the weather turns for the worse while you're out enjoying an exhilarating drive. Inside, there's not much to mention, really. Three pedals, two leather-trimmed low-back seats, one steering wheel, and one gear shifter. Oh, and five gauges to tell you speed, engine revs, fuel level, plus water and oil coolant temperatures. Of course, being road-legal, this car also has head and taillamps, turn signals, and wipers. There's even a padded area behind the seats for some modest luggage. We also spot a heater, but aren't sure if it works or not.
This 1966 MG Midget packs a dinky 1.1L in-line 4-cylinder engine that can barely muster up 60hp to send to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. Who cares, though, when you've got something that weighs next to nothing?
Many classic car afficionados are warming up to the idea of owning and driving a classic British roadster. You see, that’s because British roadsters from the fifties through eighties are the antithesis of American cars of the same vintage. Instead of being large and heavy machines with massive V8s and immense power, the classic British roadster rides on lightness and frugality. Hence, you’ll typically find small four-cylinder engines, manual transmissions, and compact dimensions. No, not compact as in the compact segment that we know. We’re talking much smaller. Take this 1976 MG Midget as a prime example. This 79,000-mile car is up for sale with us right now and looks like it could fit in your pocket. The sale of the car includes three keys and two gas cap keys, and we’re told that it bears the original mileage. Furthermore, one thing is assured, and that’s the broad smile on your face when you drive it like it’s meant to be driven.
The MG Midget is a legendary British automobile and is largely responsible for popularising the concept of affordable yet fun sports cars that could be enjoyed by anyone. The MG Midget was closely related to the second-gen Austin-Healey Sprite with improved interior trim and some other small styling changes. Our featured car is a MKII, 1966 MG Midget Convertible. The MKII offered upgrades such as wind-up windows, external door handles, and an extra 3bhp. While the numbers may not sound all that impressive — with a 1,100cc engine and a quoted 56 hp when new — the MG Midget is much more than the pursuit of power. It’s an ode to fun, and we almost guarantee that you’ll have more enjoyment at 50 mph in this Midget than in a supercar at 150 mph.
If you're seeking a driving experience that's a stark contrast to your daily routine, a classic British sports car might be your perfect weekend companion. Renowned for their minimalistic design, lightweight structure, and fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines, these cars epitomize pure driving joy. The 1974 MG Midget is a shining example of this philosophy. Not only does it offer an exhilarating driving experience, but this particular model also boasts a comprehensive restoration completed in 2009. With only 35,612 miles on the clock, it promises to inject excitement and adventure into your weekends.
Some cars have their own special place in history — and that’s exactly how we’d describe the 1960 MG MGA. The MGA is a simple formula. Featuring a longitudinally-mounted engine up front, a two-door convertible body style, and rear-wheel drive, it’s the kind of classic sportscar formula that many manufacturers often try to replicate. Few cars can capture the same charms of the original MGA, though. This is carefree motoring at its best, and it's no wonder that these dainty British roadsters are sought after today.
The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1955 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.

Every generation of Mustang is iconic, but the original is considered genesis. This is ground zero, where the entire pony car genre was born. The 1964½ Mustang, as it’s known, started production a few months before the normal 1965 model year. Although Ford officially referred to all these Mustangs as 1965 Model Year cars, there were subtle differences made to the design after August 1964. Our featured car is an early-model 1964½ and features a new paint job and a rebuilt engine. If you’re looking for the perfect entry into the world of classic Mustang ownership, this classic stallion is the perfect way to do so.
In the '60s the automotive scene was on a roll, with each manufacturer pushing the envelope in terms of automotive design and performance. During this time, Ford was certainly one of the front runners.

Present today is this lovely 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe, this 60s classic features a host of uber cool upgrades that makes it stand out and roar louder.
