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.
This dinky 1976 MG Midget is less than 140 inches long and 55 inches wide. Wearing a Polar White paint job, it looks almost toy-like until you get closer and realize that this is a serious car, an adult’s weekend toy. The current owner reports new paint, a new bonnet, and a new convertible hood. We’re also told that the tires wrapped around its tiny 13-inch alloy wheels are new as well, so you can enjoy this car to the fullest. Stepping aboard, we’re once again reminded of the importance of simplicity. You’ll find a steering wheel, two seats, three pedals, and a stick shift. It’s not too sparse, though. The driver gets a full instrument panel that includes a tachometer, speedometer, water temperature gauge, and fuel level gauge. For some entertainment, you could engage in conversation with your passenger or fire up the new aftermarket radio from JVC. Then, you can listen to FM or MW channels or pop in a CD. We’re told that new speakers have been installed as well. You’ll even find a modestly-sized trunk behind the passenger cabin that can accept a couple of soft bags. For more luggage capacity, there’s a cargo rack mounted atop the trunk lid, another popular modification for British roadsters that were taken on tours by their proud owners.
This 1976 MG Midget has a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine to power it along the roads. Aided by the original four-speed manual transmission, this car sends power to the rear wheels, making it a driver’s dream. We’re told that the vehicle has received recent servicing too, so you can point it down your favorite road and drive it to its fullest, without even needing to break the speed limit.

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.

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.
There comes a day when all is quiet on the responsible front, and you have your day opened up, and you just know that you have to make the most of it. You do have many choices. For one, you could stay at home and flick through what's new on Netflix, or you could choose to get out there and drive your heart out. If you choose the second option, you most definitely are in the right, but if you choose the first option, you most definitely know that your free time would have been spent better. Present today is your getaway into driving nirvana, and it takes shape with this lovely 1952 MG TD Roadster. This classic British motor hails from Monterey, Tennessee, and has just a reported 89,208 clocked in.
MG or Morris Garages is still around to this date. They started off as a maker of British family and sports cars, and this 1957 MG Magnette ZB Varitone is one of their stalwarts from the Fifties. It’s a four-door family sedan with a 1.8-liter straight four under the hood, delivering the kind of fuel economy that Fifties American cars could only dream about. This example has covered 75,000 miles and is up for grabs in Cadott, Wisconsin. It’s got a Varitone two-tone paint scheme and also boasts a reupholstered interior.

Tired of today’s appliances on wheels? May we offer this Garnet Red 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu for your well-being and overall enrichment of quality of life? It’s a stalwart American classic from the famous Chevy Chevelle family, and comes with just 8,000 miles on the clock after some refreshment work.

Yes, there’s a good American V8 down there, displacing all of 454 cubic inches and endowed with some nice goodies to help it make more than the reportedly approximately 400 horsepower that factory examples came with.

Collaborations can truly be a lovely thing when done right, and Plymouth did exactly that with its iconic Roadrunner back in the 60s. What was a reported payment of $50,000 for name rights and a further $10,000 to develop the iconic “beep beep” horn is now a cult classic in the muscle car collectors' circle. Present today is your chance to own a true American icon that takes shape with this 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. Hailing from Saint Mary’s, Ohio and with just 34,793 miles on its clock, this quirky classic can be yours to “beep beep” your way into the weekend.
Ever wondered what families drove in the Fifties? This green and cream 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is one such possibility. The Chevy 210 range was introduced in 1953 and ran for four years until the Biscayne took over. It was targeted at the middle class buyer, and positioned as a midrange car, with some luxury appointments as well as economical features. Today’s example comes to you from Hillsboro, Ohio, with around 73,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt 235ci straight six, a repainted exterior and a reupholstered interior in matching green and cream two-tone. Now, it makes for a fine classic car to own and drive every now and then. The current owner says that this baby has got under 3,000 miles on it since restoration.
