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.
A stunning shade of Royal Blue adorns the exterior of this 1977 MG MGB Convertible. It is punctuated and contrasted in such period fashion with prominent white stripes running the length of the lower thirds, with the MGB text inscribed to remind onlookers as to exactly what this is. Moving inside, the cabin is trimmed in Cooper, keeping to a simple yet stylish presentation that suits the period. The interior layout is straightforward, with analog gauges and classic switchgear designed to keep the driver engaged. You’ll find analog gauges for the speed, rpm, fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and a quartz clock. The interior looks well-preserved, as one might expect of a car with such low mileage, with the text on the control stalks clearly visible and the gear knob and pedals seemingly unworn.
Under the hood lies MG’s familiar 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine, displacing 1,798cc. This unit is paired with a four-speed manual transmission, allowing the driver to enjoy the roadster experience as it was intended. The odometer reportedly shows just 19,900 miles, which the owner states is original, making this a rare find in the world of MGBs.
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.

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.
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Corvette bagged the nickname "America's Sports Car" almost immediately after its 1953 debut. The reason being that it was the first American Sports Car to successfully rival European models. The second generation of the Corvette was a significant period for the company. During that time, Corvette saw record sales, introduced a new engine, and adopted the two-word "Sting Ray" branding. This stunning example of the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible belongs to the second generation. With a reported 6964 miles on its odometer, this beauty is currently located in Round Rock, Texas. If you are in the market for classics that carry a rich history and a Sunday cruiser that harks you back to olden times, this is the perfect car for you.
