The MGB is a two-door sports car from the British Motor Corporation (BMC) that was introduced in 1962 as the successor of the popular MG MGA sports car. Initially produced as a Roadster or Convertible, a fixed-head MGB GT model was also available. Cars such as the MGB were designed to embody the spirit of British open-top sports cars that featured rorty engines with modest displacement and power, and were most at home being hustled down a winding country road, where sustaining momentum was the name of the game. Hence this 1979 MG MGB Mark IV which we have on sale from New York with just 69,663 miles on the odo is the ideal ticket to owning a pert little British Roadster that will give you open-topped motoring thrills on the long and winding roads. On sale by its third owner, its reportedly a numbers-matching car.
The quintessential British roadster features compact dimensions and most importantly, a convertible hood. This 1979 MG MGB Mark IV highlights all those features with its clean white body which the owner reports has been repainted at some point in its history. It rolls on a set of multi-spoke alloy wheels which are also reported to be original items, and features the snap-on soft top which is said to be in good shape. The interior embodies the pure motoring experience, with a bevy of gauges communicating the important information to the driver, a four-spoked sporty steering wheel and a wood-topped gear shifter. The windows are wind-up, as is the manually operated top. The car has a modern touch in the shape of a newer generation JVC radio/CD player with AUX input.
This MG MGB Mk IV features the 1,798cc B-series in-line four cylinder engine with a single Stromberg carburetor. Whilst UK-spec cars enjoyed dual carbs and around 94hp, but US-spec cars were subjected to the stricter emissions controls of the time, and thus had less power. The engine drives the rear wheels via a four-speed fully synchromesh manual gearbox. Braking is via discs at the front and drums at the rear.
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.
There comes a day when all is quiet on the responsible front, and you have your day opened up, and you just know that you have to make the most of it. You do have many choices. For one, you could stay at home and flick through what's new on Netflix, or you could choose to get out there and drive your heart out. If you choose the second option, you most definitely are in the right, but if you choose the first option, you most definitely know that your free time would have been spent better. Present today is your getaway into driving nirvana, and it takes shape with this lovely 1952 MG TD Roadster. This classic British motor hails from Monterey, Tennessee, and has just a reported 89,208 clocked in.
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.
