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?
Exterior and Interior
The new custom paint worn by this 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster is a pleasing shade of red, a color that really sits well with British roadsters because they’re meant to be small, plucky and prominent. This car enjoys a set of American Racing wheels with new tires, and has received a new undercoating as well, for longevity and rust protection. Furthermore, the black soft top that offers protection to its occupants is a new item too. The interior is a two-seat affair with a padded luggage area behind the seats. Perhaps you might be tempted to give your children a ride there, but they would start to complain after a while. British Roadsters aren’t known to be the most spacious cars, after all. This car has got some new gauges, a new black interior, new carpeting, and new seats. You’ll note the lack of modern infotainment systems and digital devices to distract you, after all, the true pleasure of a car like this comes from the mere act of driving it in a spirited manner.
Engine
This 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster uses a 1.8-liter in-line four-cylinder engine with a new Weber carburetor, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. We’re told that the car sports a new aluminum radiator, new brake lines, a new gas tank, new fuel lines and a new electric fuel pump.
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.
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.
Classic motoring takes many forms, but if one were to define it visually, it would always be a classic open-top experience with the sun down and no plans but driving nirvana ahead. Present today is the definition of classic motoring and takes shape with this 1977 MG MGB. This British open-top classic has just reported over 53,000 miles on its clock and is geared for smiles per gallon and turned heads as you drive by.
Introduced in 1959 as the successor to the original MGA 1500, the MGA 1600 brought improved performance and braking while retaining the timeless styling that helped define British sports cars of the era. This 1961 MG MGA 1600 Roadster shows 64,168 miles and is finished in attractive Chariot Red over a black interior with white piping. Equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission and a folding white convertible top, this classic roadster offers the pure, analog driving experience that made MG a favorite among sports car enthusiasts worldwide. With its elegant proportions, chrome brightwork, and unmistakable open-top character, this MGA is a wonderful example of one of Britain’s most celebrated postwar sports cars.
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.
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.
