Some of the greatest cars rolled off the factory floors of British automotive manufacturers like MG, even in the face of strikes and disruptions. Many of these cars still run to this day and have become highly collectible as a result. Amongst the crowd, one type of car really stood out, quintessential British roadsters. Looking to get in on that British roadster action? This 1980 MG MGB MK IV (that’s Mark 4 for you) is a delightful option. It’s located in Pennsylvania and with just a reported 34,101 original miles on the clock, this can be your way of popping down the hood and driving off into the sunset. What’s better? This is a single-owner example and is reportedly for sale by the original family who bought it 41 years ago. The car also comes with some of the original sale and service documents.
When you think of roadsters you always think of fun and playful, this factor makes finding the right color to reflect this personality quite tricky, but this 1980 MG MGB MK IV with its orange exterior sure looks just right. Being a low mileage car, it still has a lot of its original features and parts. The car proudly sits on the original MG Rostyle wheels with all 4 tires having been replaced in 2020 make them fairly new. Pop the trunk and you find the 5th original Rostyle wheel as a spare, a rare occurrence in such cars. The external luggage rack augments storage space for your convenience too. A sporty exterior calls for an equally sporty interior and the black interior on this car fits the bill quite well. The interior componentry on the car is also in great condition considering its age with the original MG steering wheel adding on that original touch. Notice that it’s free of many modern distractions? That’s so that you can enjoy the car down the right sort of road uninterrupted.
The MGA had set the bar high in terms of driving pleasure, but the MGB also had to factor in reliability. This was where the legendary 1.8L B-series engine came to life. This in-line four-cylinder engine was around for 18 years powering all the MGB’s during that time and this 1980 MG MGB MK IV is no different. A cherry on the cake is that it’s reportedly a numbers-matching engine and transmission combo. Whilst 95hp is not a lot now, it was plenty for 1980, and still enough to hustle this pert flyweight at a decent pace. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox with switchable overdrive as can be observed on the top of the gear knob.

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.
Today, MG is a brand under Chinese ownership, and well-known for electric vehicles. Historically though, MG was a British brand, owned by the British Motor Corporation. MG stands for Morris Garages, so you can glean that it has its roots in the British automaker Morris. In its heyday, MG was well-known for producing British roadsters that embodied the joys of driving. The MGB was one of their best-sellers, and was made from 1962 to 1980. Four iterations (Mk. I to Mk. IV respectively) were made. This 1980 MG MGB Mk IV is from the last generation, and comes to you with just 46,000 miles under its belt. Hence, it’s a great weekend car to escape from the digital world, and enter an alternate universe, one where cars are analog and driving is fun.
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.
Many classic car afficionados are warming up to the idea of owning and driving a classic British roadster. You see, that’s because British roadsters from the fifties through eighties are the antithesis of American cars of the same vintage. Instead of being large and heavy machines with massive V8s and immense power, the classic British roadster rides on lightness and frugality. Hence, you’ll typically find small four-cylinder engines, manual transmissions, and compact dimensions. No, not compact as in the compact segment that we know. We’re talking much smaller. Take this 1976 MG Midget as a prime example. This 79,000-mile car is up for sale with us right now and looks like it could fit in your pocket. The sale of the car includes three keys and two gas cap keys, and we’re told that it bears the original mileage. Furthermore, one thing is assured, and that’s the broad smile on your face when you drive it like it’s meant to be driven.
