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.

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.
If you know anything about MG (not in its current iteration of SUVs, but its historic form), you’d be seeing visual pictures of tiny sports cars with surprisingly vocal engine notes being driven like bats out of hell. That’s precisely what MG, or Morris Garages, was about in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. They built diminutive British roadsters, two-seat cars that were all about a sporting drive. And get this; they didn’t use massive horsepower V8s to provide the fun. Instead, they were lightweight, nimble machines that could easily dance from corner to corner. The MGB is one of their finest models, and it was made for fifteen years. Most commonly seen in roadster or convertible form, MG did make a fixed-head coupe called the GT. That’s precisely what this 1973 MG MGB GT is, and with over 192,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s been enjoyed. But don’t let the mileage put you off because these cars are tenacious, long-lasting, and easy to fix if they go wrong.
The iconic 1977 MG MGB started development as early as 1958 with the Abingdon codename: MG EX205. It was a progressive and modern design for the early ‘60s, using a unitary structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame that was used on the MGB’s rival, the Triumph TR series. These British machines were among the first cars to feature controlled crumple zones designed to protect the driver and passenger in a 30 mph impact against a 200-ton immovable barrier. The MGB remains a popular choice for car collectors due to inexpensive and readily available parts and simple mechanics, such as the particular model we have today in red, which has clocked 50,000 miles on its odometer, accompanied by a new chrome bumper conversion. For sale in Fairfield, Connecticut, this is your chance to own a 1977 MG MGB.
Some cars have their own special place in history — and that’s exactly how we’d describe the 1960 MG MGA. The MGA is a simple formula. Featuring a longitudinally-mounted engine up front, a two-door convertible body style, and rear-wheel drive, it’s the kind of classic sportscar formula that many manufacturers often try to replicate. Few cars can capture the same charms of the original MGA, though. This is carefree motoring at its best, and it's no wonder that these dainty British roadsters are sought after today.
The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1955 MG TD Roadster is one of the last of them, well-preserved by the previous owner. Although it might not seem so, the TD Roadster was a sports car of the time. The TD was specifically praised for its upgraded suspension setup and ride quality, over its previous generations. It was exclusively offered as an open-top machine with a single powertrain combination. The current owner of this particular car reports that it has been in their family for around 9–10 years. If you’re seeking a classic car in good condition or the TD Roadster in particular, this one is an impressive proposition to consider.
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.
Ford’s Thunderbird was a trailblazer in the ʼ50s and '60s. Envisioned to bring Americans a slice of that luxury grand touring lifestyle that Europeans were enjoying, the T-Bird as it was affectionately called, started life as a two-seater. Over time, it gained a rear seat as well, since Ford realized that some people liked to take their children along too, plus a rear seat meant that the car was better suited to regular family life. Ten generations of T-Bird graced our roads between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford decided to create a homage, and the eleventh generation was made. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one of those cars, and with just 31,368 units made for 2002, you’re part of a pretty exclusive club now. You see, the eleventh generation is poised to become a future classic, so this 28,475-mile car is a savvy investment too.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic American cars of all time. Among all its generations, the third-generation Fox-body Mustang is one of the most distinctively styled pony cars ever. Today we have here a fully restored 1993 Ford Mustang LX Convertible. The vehicle has been reported to have undergone a complete rotisserie restoration. This translates to the car being stripped to the frame, and carefully restored with new parts. The current owner reports that every major component of this Mustang has been replaced. The car gained a new engine, transmission, upgraded brakes, and a complete cosmetic restoration. With only 700 reported miles on the odometer, this Fox-body Mustang is in superb condition. If you fancy a unique, classic, retro American muscle car, this one would be a perfect option.
