British roadsters embody the spirit of carefree motoring with frugality. These diminutive cars are known for being lightweight and having modestly-powered motors, yet they offer driving thrills that a 300-horsepower machine from the same period struggles to match. This 1974 MGB is no different, with its peppy little 4-cylinder engine and lively handling. The current owner tells us that it's received a new paint job and bears just 50,820 miles on its tiny wheels. If you want the antithesis to large and heavy American motors, this car is the ideal way to achieve it.
Sporting a lovely maroon paint job, you'll turn heads as you cruise by in this 1974 MGB, with its rorty exhaust note, black plastic bumpers, and Rostyle wheels. This canvas-topped roadster sports a black convertible roof that is, you guessed it, manually operated. However, you'll be most astonished at its mere 153-inch length and 60-inch width. Here's a car that makes today's smallest subcompact cars look gigantic in comparison. We also spot a Motor Trend-branded car cover, which we presume you'll get as well. Tiny it may be, but this 1974 MGB still offers comfortable, albeit cozy, accommodations for a driver and passenger. As you settle into the driver's seat, you'll be greeted by a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a bevy of gauges. Today's cars don't have such a comprehensive array of instrumentation, which includes a tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauge. You'll also find an air conditioner and a push-button radio in the center console. Of course, as such a small car, trunk space is at a premium, but there's a helpful luggage rack mounted atop the trunk lid.
This 1974 MGB is powered by a 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder engine that's actually quite large in British roadster speak. Driving the wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, this car is every bit a delight for the keen driver. As you motor along your favorite road, the rack and pinion steering, anti-roll bar, and front independent coil spring suspension will work a treat, while the rear live axle suspension with semi-elliptical springs is always up for a tad of fun. Meanwhile, front disc and rear drum brakes are present to ensure stopping whenever required
For us Americans, the idea of sporty driving means large vehicles with massive V8s and at least 300 horses waiting to be unleashed. Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, things were rather different in the ʼ60s, ʼ70s and ʼ80s. There, a sports car was a little thing, often no larger than a compact car, often sporting a four-cylinder engine under the hood. Enter the world of the British Roadster – open-topped machines with modest power figures and low kerb weights. This 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster is a prime example of a ʼ70s British Roadster and it’s for sale by its original owner right now. The car boasts a host of new parts, a rebuilt engine, and up-to-date servicing. What more could you ask for?
Today, MG or Morris Garages is under Chinese ownership and is best known for making value-packed electric vehicles. But this centurion British automaker made much of its name in producing lightweight, two-seat British sports cars. British sports cars from the '50s through '80s are something of a curio in North America. They’re distinctively diminutive when compared with contemporary American cars from the same period. But, these buzzy little things are like bees, darting around here and there, and making light work of narrow roads and tight parking spaces. That’s why you’ve got to have a British sports car in your life, and this 32,809-mile 1979 MG MGB is a fantastic candidate. It’s reported to be an all-original example, and is perfect for those solo weekend drives when you just want to escape the travails of life for a few hours.
If you know anything about MG (not in its current iteration of SUVs, but its historic form), you’d be seeing visual pictures of tiny sports cars with surprisingly vocal engine notes being driven like bats out of hell. That’s precisely what MG, or Morris Garages, was about in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. They built diminutive British roadsters, two-seat cars that were all about a sporting drive. And get this; they didn’t use massive horsepower V8s to provide the fun. Instead, they were lightweight, nimble machines that could easily dance from corner to corner. The MGB is one of their finest models, and it was made for fifteen years. Most commonly seen in roadster or convertible form, MG did make a fixed-head coupe called the GT. That’s precisely what this 1973 MG MGB GT is, and with over 192,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s been enjoyed. But don’t let the mileage put you off because these cars are tenacious, long-lasting, and easy to fix if they go wrong.
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.

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.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.

Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
