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.
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.
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.
There’s a segment of people who don’t want large sports cars with immense engines and vulgar horsepower figures. They don’t crave for sizable bodies and significant bulk. Instead, they prefer the lightness and simplicity of the traditional British roadster. There are plenty of fine examples from myriad manufacturers to pick, and today, we’ve got one from Morris Garages, or MG for short. This 1955 MG TF comes from their T-Type lineage of 1936 to 1955. So, it’s from the last year of production of the series, and has traveled almost 80,000 miles so far. Having undergone a full restoration and with a car cover included in the sale, this fine British roadster awaits a new owner in Lexington, Virginia.
Classic motoring takes many forms, but if one were to define it visually, it would always be a classic open-top experience with the sun down and no plans but driving nirvana ahead. Present today is the definition of classic motoring and takes shape with this 1977 MG MGB. This British open-top classic has just reported over 53,000 miles on its clock and is geared for smiles per gallon and turned heads as you drive by.
