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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
This is a striking 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod that has been expertly upgraded for an exceptional driving experience. With only 7,275 miles on the odometer, this vehicle has undergone significant enhancements to provide modern performance while retaining its classic appeal. The Bel Air features a luxurious two-tone leather interior, power windows, and seats, ensuring comfort and convenience. An upgraded Dakota digital dash adds modern flair, while custom touches like a full-length center console and premium sound system enhance the driving experience.

This 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan represents a pinnacle of the "Tuner Era," being a GM-commissioned, factory-authorized supercar built by Knudsen Automotive to challenge European exotics. This specific survivor is exceptionally significant due to its all-original, unrestored condition with only over 63,000 miles shown, and its provenance as a special-order vehicle delivered to Stadium Pontiac in Anaheim. Equipped with high-end performance features like a Gale Banks suspension, Gotti wheels, and Recaro leather, this chassis serves as a documented benchmark for the model, having been featured in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It is a rare "investment grade" example of 1980s engineering, distinguishing itself from contemporary kit cars as a legitimate, limited-production performance icon.
