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.

For us Americans, the idea of sporty driving means large vehicles with massive V8s and at least 300 horses waiting to be unleashed. Across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, things were rather different in the ʼ60s, ʼ70s and ʼ80s. There, a sports car was a little thing, often no larger than a compact car, often sporting a four-cylinder engine under the hood. Enter the world of the British Roadster – open-topped machines with modest power figures and low kerb weights. This 1977 MG MGB Mark IV Roadster is a prime example of a ʼ70s British Roadster and it’s for sale by its original owner right now. The car boasts a host of new parts, a rebuilt engine, and up-to-date servicing. What more could you ask for?
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.
MG or Morris Garages is one of the most iconic British automakers in history. Today, the brand is under Chinese ownership and primarily makes SUVs and sedans, with some electric mobility options too. But if you look at its storied history, MG was well-known for making some of the most fun-to-drive British sports cars. What’s so great about British sports cars? You see, they are the very opposite to what we Americans consider sporting. These are tiny cars, smaller than your average subcompact, with low-displacement engines that merrily hum away. However, these flyweights are anything but slow; they can drive circles around larger, lumbering V8 machines. The MGA model came in 1955 and ran until 1962. Over 100,000 were produced, majority of which were exported. Today’s 1960 MG MGA 1600 is one of those examples, and has received a fair bit of replacement parts to keep it as fresh as possible. Now, the car waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina for a new owner. The current owner includes the refurbishment records and photos with the sale.

The MG T-Type is a series of two-seater classic car produced from 1936 through 1955. This particular 1951 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.
