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.
American automotive ethos often revolves around muscle, size, and sheer power. The mantra is usually "bigger is better," both in terms of physical dimensions and engine displacement. However, across the pond, the British took a completely different approach for decades. The 1953 MG TD standing before you is the epitome of this British philosophy – a dainty two-seater with an engine smaller than a Coke bottle. Despite its diminutive size, it's now on the market, offering enthusiasts the chance to unravel the charm of British roadsters and understand why these petite marvels have garnered global admiration, even in the vast expanses of America.
Choosing a classic car can be a tough task, given the number of options one can pick from. But let's highlight one of the best British roadsters to be imported stateside with this lovely 1959 MG MGA Roadster we have here. With a reported 28,500 miles on its clock, this British classic is reported to have seen a nut and bolt restoration and is geared to bring out the good times every time you're behind the wheel
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.

Produced for just three years, the Fleetmaster was Chevy’s immediate new model following World War II. It was offered for the 1946, 1947 and 1948 model years, before the Chevrolet Deluxe took over. Buyers could select from two and four-door sedans, a two-door coupe or convertible, and a four-door station wagon. Today, the Fleetmaster is an excellent '40s classic car for the discerning collector who doesn’t want to go down the typical route of classic car ownership. Therefore, we’re glad to present this wonderfully restored 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster with 49,585 miles on the clock. The car does pack a few modernizations to make it more pleasant to own and drive. All servicing is said to be up-to-date, and two keys are included with the sale.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
Plymouth was one of America’s most esteemed automakers, debuting in 1928 under the vision of Walter P. Chrysler. Contrary to popular belief, its name wasn’t inspired by Plymouth Rock but rather Plymouth Binder Twine, a nod to its strong association with farmers—a strategic marketing decision to bolster sales. Although the Plymouth brand ceased production in 2001, its legacy thrives in classic models like this meticulously restored 1947 Plymouth P15 Special Deluxe. This classic car embodies Plymouth's heritage while boasting modern enhancements for superior performance, making it a coveted collectible ready for its next chapter.
