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
Few cars embody the classic British roadster spirit quite like the MG MGB. Compact, stylish, and approachable, the MGB defined open-air motoring for a generation of enthusiasts. This 1977 example, finished in British Racing Green with gold side stripes and Union Jack motifs, pairs vintage charm with meaningful updates. With a freshly installed replacement motor from Moss Motors (showing approximately 1,300 miles since installation), this Roadster blends collectibility with renewed drivability.
Morris Garages, or MG for short, used to be an iconic British automaker, responsible for some stunning sports cars, as well as more workmanlike family sedans. Today, the brand is owned by the Chinese and churns out mostly SUVs. The spunky sports cars of yore are no longer, save for examples like this 1975 MG MGB from Charleston, South Carolina. The MGB was made between 1962 and 1980, as the successor to the MGA. Nearly 524,000 cars were made during this time, but not many were preserved as time progressed on. So, this car, with its 75,790 miles and replaced convertible top represents not only a great way to enjoy a weekend back road blast, but a pretty darn good investment as well.
After the war ended, the popularity of classic British roadsters skyrocketed. Brands like Triumph, Sunbeam, and MG were able to market a great deal of fun, affordable, and nimble roadsters to a new generation of baby boomers who were happy to lap them up. While we may no longer live in that era, we can certainly do our best to recapture some of the joy that piloting a British roadster can bring, thanks to our featured car. It’s a 1977 MG MGB Convertible, known to be a compact, affordable, and stylish car. Located in the Bronx, New York, this example is reportedly showing just under 20,000 original miles on the odometer and is accompanied by its owner’s manual. With its original paint and a manual gearbox paired to the well-known 1.8-liter inline-four, this MGB presents as a time capsule from the golden years of British roadsters.
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.
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.
“Tastefully done”, this is a line used in moderation within the world of automotive. To achieve this significant milestone, one needs to channel the gods of upgrades, do too much, and you take away classic charm; do too little, and you might have a car that stands out, but not in a good sense. Present today is this lovely 1974 BMW 3.0 CS, it's a machine that can pass off as the poster child of “tastefully done”. Located in Delray Beach, Florida, and with just 27,088 miles on its clock, this classic BMW is a car that makes you look twice and might take up a significant portion of your day, lost in reverie.
The Cadillac de Ville series is a full-size luxury car from Cadillac, made between 1958 and 2005 across eight generations. The term de Ville means “of the town”, indicating that Cadillac intended the model to become the talk of the town, literally. Offered in sedan, coupe and convertible forms, early generations are renowned for their flamboyant styling. Take this second generation 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville as a prime example. With a 390 under the hood and a lovely Nevada Silver paint job, this machine awaits a new owner in Santa Rosa, California. Grab it while you can because cars like this don’t stay on the market for long.
The fourth generation Toyota Supra is THE legend. That’s because it prominently featured in The Fast And The Furious franchise. But even before its Hollywood outing, the Supra had gained fame as a tuner favorite. Its legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo straight six was well known for being able to make fantastic power outputs with rudimentary mods and bolt-ons. That’s why when a fourth-gen Supra comes on the market, its eagerly snapped up. So here’s one right now, straight from Vegas. This 44,000-mile 1994 Toyota Supra Sport Roof is a fine catch for the discerning enthusiast and you’d better act fast if you want it in your custody.
