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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1979 MG MGB comes in red, which is a suitable color for something small and charming like this. As a North American-market car, it’s got the black elongated bumpers that were mandated when the car was new, but that doesn’t detract from its cutesy looks. Then, you’ve got a tan cloth top because this is a proper convertible. Just drop the top and you’ll enjoy open-air motoring in a manner that few modern cars – even convertibles – can provide. The two-seat passenger cabin of this 1979 MG MGB is an intimate affair – you’d better choose your passenger carefully, or ride solo. Yet, it’s comfortable, with seats upholstered in tan leather, a whole host of gauges, a heater, and even a relatively modern Alpine head unit with CD player. Cargo capacity is where this car is a tad lacking, since the trunk is mostly taken up by the spare wheel. However, there’s a luggage rack mounted atop the trunk lid for more capacity – not that you’re likely to strap on multiple suitcases and drive along, that isn’t this car’s purpose.
Engine
Packing a 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder engine, this 1979 MG MGB can be a real hoot to drive thanks to its light weight and four speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The car sends drive to the rear wheels, making for a proper sports car driving feel.
The MGB is one of Britain’s most enduring sports cars, earning a reputation for delivering open-air driving enjoyment with simple mechanicals, timeless styling, and exceptional parts availability. By 1972, the chrome-bumper MGB had reached its stride, offering refined road manners while retaining the lightweight, engaging character that made the model famous around the world. Showing 19,852 miles, this 1972 MG MGB Roadster presents beautifully in Glacier White over a black interior and represents one of the last chrome-bumper examples before federally mandated bumper changes altered the MGB’s iconic appearance. Tastefully enhanced with classic accessories while preserving its vintage charm, this British roadster is equally at home on winding back roads, weekend cruises, or local British car gatherings.
Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster quickly became one of Britain’s most successful sports cars, combining timeless styling, dependable engineering, and an engaging driving experience at an affordable price. This 1965 MG B Roadster represents the desirable early chrome-bumper era and shows just 14,351 miles on the odometer. Finished in classic Tartan Red over a black interior, this roadster retains much of its original character while benefiting from a reupholstered interior and tasteful upgrades. Whether carving through winding back roads or enjoying an open-top cruise on a sunny afternoon, this MG B delivers the simple, analog driving experience that has made it a favorite among enthusiasts for generations.
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.

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.

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.
