If you're seeking a driving experience that's a stark contrast to your daily routine, a classic British sports car might be your perfect weekend companion. Renowned for their minimalistic design, lightweight structure, and fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines, these cars epitomize pure driving joy. The 1974 MG Midget is a shining example of this philosophy. Not only does it offer an exhilarating driving experience, but this particular model also boasts a comprehensive restoration completed in 2009. With only 35,612 miles on the clock, it promises to inject excitement and adventure into your weekends.
The exterior of this 1974 MG Midget is finished in a luxurious Burgundy, reminiscent of a rich red wine. Its classic British roadster design features a long hood, short tail, and a low, squat stance. Small Rostyle wheels and a charming chrome luggage rack on the trunk lid enhance its vintage appeal. The black convertible top ensures versatility, allowing for an enjoyable ride regardless of the weather. The interior is a model of simplicity and function. It includes two black leather seats, essential driving controls, and a comprehensive set of gauges. The newly replaced carpet adds a fresh touch to the cabin. Modernity sneaks in with a newer JVC radio head unit, equipped with a CD player. The trunk space, partly occupied by the spare tire, is supplemented by a functional luggage rack, emphasizing the car's practicality for spontaneous outings.
Under the hood lies a 1,275cc engine, a delightful departure from the typical American powerplant, producing just under 60 horsepower. This power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, emphasizing the car's focus on driver engagement and momentum preservation. Recent updates include a new alternator, battery, carburetor, and starter, ensuring that this MG Midget is as reliable as it is fun to drive. This car is not about outright speed; it's about the joy of driving, the thrill of keeping the engine in its sweet spot, and the satisfaction of a hands-on driving experience.
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.

British sports cars are the antithesis of everything that defines an American sports car. While we like our large, flamboyant sports car with plenty of power, the Brits did things very differently in the Fifties through the Eighties. They preferred smaller bodies with compact road footprints that could quickly nip along narrow country roads. They traded massive and thirsty engines for smaller, more economical ones. Instead of sheer horsepower, they focused on usable power and light curb weights to achieve sprightly performance. That's precisely what this 1966 MG Midget offers its next lucky owner. A lightweight, two-seat, open-topped sports car that's most at home when driven hard down a winding road. While you sit mere inches off the road and wind up the rorty engine, maintaining as much momentum as possible through a set of corners, you'll grin widely and be surprised at how much fun this car offers at 50 or even 30mph. The current owner says that the mileage is most like 113,338 miles since it only has a five-figure odometer. More critically, it's said to be an all-original car that's been garage-kept. Will you be its next owner, then?
From the ’30s to the ’50s, MG was undoubtedly excelled in the sports car arena. Their simple yet engaging T-Type models offered motorsports-winning pedigree to a broad audience and were distinct in their style. The MG TD was the fourth iteration of the T-Type chassis, which started with the TD. While the car’s lineage was still unmistakable, the Midget adopted a more sophisticated approach to the drivetrain. This includes the hypoid-geared rear axle of the MG Y-Type and independent front suspension. Our featured car is a 1952 MG TD Roadster Replica, which has been painstakingly recreated to offer an idea of what the original car would have looked like. Being a relatively modern reincarnation, this replica has reportedly run just 20,000 miles.

The world of open-top motoring would not be as iconic today without the British; back in the day, MG and its line-up of open-top motors were all the rage and ensured infinite smiles per gallon with the wind in your hair at all times.

With a reported 37,230 miles on the clock, this classic British convertible is a throwback to the golden years of British motoring and can be yours to savor an incredible weekend drive backed with history and style. What's better than all this? The current owner reports that this British classic's mileage is original, making it exceptionally low mileage for the car's age.
While the '60s was the golden year of muscle cars, the '70s also saw some iconic muscle motors being produced. Present here is a thoroughbred '70s muscle car in the form of this 1974 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. This American performance icon is reported to have been fully restored and features a host of tasteful upgrades to stand out in style.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
