The idea for the MGB came up on the drawing boards as early as 1958 and took a total of four years of careful planning and design perfection before it came into production in 1962. At launch, the MGB was considered a modern and progressive player in the sports car category. The car was quick, and was very successful in motorsport, with victories in the Grand Touring category at the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally and Brand Hatch Circuit Meets, to name a few. This stunning example of 1972 MG MGB GT Coupe is native to Florida and has earned its racing stripes, waiting to continue its legacy.
This British icon has been fully restored and proudly wears its icy blue paint coat and racing livery, looking like it’s built for an early 70’s rally stage. This specific MGB is of the chrome bumper era, a generation more valued in comparison to its rubber bumper sibling. The chrome grille, fog lamps, and front and rear bumpers gleam with the enthusiasm of a classic MG and complement its brand new multi-spoke silver MG wheels. Upon entering this car, you are greeted by a functioning air conditioner, second to its unquestionably prominent red leather seats and door panels. The look is blended nicely with a black dashboard that gives us glimpses of silver trimming and hosts an original three-spoke MOMO steering wheel.
The MGB’s 1.8L naturally aspirated B-series engine produces up to 95hp at 5,400 rpm with a five-bearing crankshaft, connected to a 4-speed manual transmission, and is capable of a 0-60 mph time of just over 11 seconds. The car has undergone recent maintenance and servicing to ensure its running in prime condition.
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.
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.
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.
The MG Midget is a legendary British automobile and is largely responsible for popularising the concept of affordable yet fun sports cars that could be enjoyed by anyone. The MG Midget was closely related to the second-gen Austin-Healey Sprite with improved interior trim and some other small styling changes. Our featured car is a MKII, 1966 MG Midget Convertible. The MKII offered upgrades such as wind-up windows, external door handles, and an extra 3bhp. While the numbers may not sound all that impressive — with a 1,100cc engine and a quoted 56 hp when new — the MG Midget is much more than the pursuit of power. It’s an ode to fun, and we almost guarantee that you’ll have more enjoyment at 50 mph in this Midget than in a supercar at 150 mph.
