The MG MGB is a two-door British sports car that was made by British Motor Corporation under the Morris Garages (MG) brand. Produced between 1962 and 1980, over half a million examples found grateful owners across the world. Thankfully, Americans weren’t spared the excitement of the MGB either, and in the backdrop of the Malaise Era, these pert, perky two-seaters became great fun to drive. If you’d like to relish that fun, pick up this 1979 MG MGB from us. The car has got 27,000 miles on it, and the current owner claims that it’s been restored.
This particular 1979 MG MGB wears a Carmine Red paint job, and comes with a black canvas top to protect the passenger cabin from the elements when necessary. While a diminutive British roadster of this ilk isn’t really meant to be driven top-up for most of the time, thanks to the roof it can be driven any time of day, night, and year if desired. It’s got the North American-mandated elongated bumpers and all necessary lighting, too. It’s hard to believe that the car is around 155 inches long or shorter than a modern subcompact crossover. The hard-to-believe act continues as you step inside its dinky two-seat interior. Upholstered with tan leather, you’ve got two seats, a steering wheel, a gear shifter, three pedals, and a full instrument pack, including a tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and a clock. This particular car also enjoys a heater and an aftermarket radio with USB and AUX inputs. The car also offers some modest luggage space, and there’s a chrome luggage rack atop the trunk lid for more capacity.
Beneath the hood (or bonnet, in British English) of this British roadster is a 1.8-liter water-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine. The engine drives the rear wheels of this 1979 MG MGB via a 4-speed manual gearbox. The current owner tells us that the car has received a new carburetor, as well as new brakes, to restore its performance and stopping abilities. Hence, you can drive this sports car the way it’s meant to be driven.

The weekend is made for taking a step back from the daily hustle. There's many ways to go about spending one's weekend but you really can't do better than being behind the wheel of a machine that's built to maximise your drive experience. When you think of maximising your drive experience you are exposed to a world of choices to pick from. Present today is a machine that cuts down on your quest for the perfect weekend cruiser and looks like this 1977 MG MGB. With a reported 84,141 miles on the clock, this British open top classic is a beauty from every angle and is built to bring you infinite driving memories.
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.

Being behind the wheel of a machine is an experience - it should be an experience that is engaging and has you wanting more. Present today is precisely that, driving nirvana brought to you by this lovely slice of British motoring. A genuinely remarkable 1953 MG TD.
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.
Ford’s Thunderbird or T-Bird is most well known for creating the American segment of Personal Luxury Cars. Aimed at rivaling Europe’s Grand Tourers, the first generation of T-Bird was a stylish and powerful two-door, two-seat coupe or convertible, with a comfortable and lavishly-equipped passenger cabin plus a roomy trunk. It was meant as a car that would be owned by the wealthy and driven by them across great distances with nary an ache or pain at the end. Subsequent generations gained a rear seat too, since Ford realized that sticking to two seats was limiting their target market. Made for ten generations between 1955 and 1997, the T-Bird firmly entrenched itself in American automotive culture. In 2002, Ford, feeling a bit misty-eyed, decided to make a eleventh generation as a homage to the original. This eleventh generation was produced for just three years and saw over 68,000 units sold. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for sale from Sterling, Alaska. It’s got super low mileage too, less than 8,000 in fact, making it an absolute steal and a fantastic addition to someone who wants a definitive future classic that can be driven and enjoyed from today onwards.
Can you imagine a hot rod being produced by a mainstream automaker, as a factory offering, and in 1997? Well, that’s what Chrysler did with the Prowler. In a rare show of creativity, Chrysler gave its engineers free reign to create a 1930s-inspired hot rod for the modern era. Just 11,702 units were made over a five-year production run, making the Prowler quite rare indeed. Today, we’ve got a 1999 Plymouth Prowler from Missouri for sale. This car has just 12,345 miles on the clock, and you can make it your own if you wish. The Prowler’s interesting design and limited production numbers mean that it’s definitely a future classic, so you’d best skip the rush that will come in the future, and get your hands on this one ASAP.
Mercedes-Benz and its lineup of SLs have always been and will be iconic; the automotive marque's pinnacle open-top grand tourer has been the car to have for eons when you want to experience authentic open-top motoring.
