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.
The exterior appearance of the 1966 MG Midget Convertible is fairly typical of British sports cars of the ’60s. The Midget features two seats, a convertible roof, and a small footprint. Our featured car is finished in red, while the black soft-top comes with a handy tonneau cover for keeping the lines flush when the roof is folded away. The MG Midget sits on 13-inch center-lock wire wheels wrapped in Dunlop tires. The interior is reported as original, save for the newly reupholstered seats. The seats are trimmed in black with white pinstriping. The driver is presented with a three-spoke wheel with the MG badge at its center. Mounted directly in front are Smiths gauges for a tachometer and speedometer. Additional black-faced Smiths gauges are found towards the center of the dashboard for fuel level, oil pressure, and water temperature.
The 1966 MG Midget Convertible utilizes the tried-and-tested drivetrain layout: engine up front, and power sent to the rear. The engine in question is a 1,098cc A-Series four-cylinder motor, which was quoted when new to produce 56 hp and 62 lb-ft of torque. The Midget features a four-speed manual transmission, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, and independent front suspension. The rear suspension comprises semi-elliptic leaf springs.

Many classic car afficionados are warming up to the idea of owning and driving a classic British roadster. You see, that’s because British roadsters from the fifties through eighties are the antithesis of American cars of the same vintage. Instead of being large and heavy machines with massive V8s and immense power, the classic British roadster rides on lightness and frugality. Hence, you’ll typically find small four-cylinder engines, manual transmissions, and compact dimensions. No, not compact as in the compact segment that we know. We’re talking much smaller. Take this 1976 MG Midget as a prime example. This 79,000-mile car is up for sale with us right now and looks like it could fit in your pocket. The sale of the car includes three keys and two gas cap keys, and we’re told that it bears the original mileage. Furthermore, one thing is assured, and that’s the broad smile on your face when you drive it like it’s meant to be driven.

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.
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?
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.
One of the smartest classic cars to own and drive on a regular basis has got to be a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation of 1971 to 1989. These cars were Hollywood darlings when they were new, and over 300,000 were sold worldwide. It’s estimated that 68% of these ended up in the United States, as official or gray market imports. That’s why getting your hands on one isn’t that hard. This Florida-based 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one great example. The car has got 86,100 miles under its belt, and has received some new components to keep it driving as sweetly as it did back when it was new.
Named after the opulent California neighborhood of Bel Air, Chevy’s Bel Air was definitely aimed at those who want to feel posh. Introduced as a full-size car in 1949, the Bel Air was made until 1975 in the United States, running up to 1981 in Canada. First generation Bel Airs, such as this 74,475-mile 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan are always ideal for those wishing to dabble in owning classics. This particular car is up for sale in Westminster, California, and has got some new parts to bring it back up to near-factory condition. Why not check it out, after all it’s a classic that will be relatively easy to maintain given that the Bel Air was quite popular in its heyday.
The youth of the day were drawn to the iconic Ford Mustang style, and when they grew up to become adults of means, they were able to invest in their dream vehicle. The reason we say invest is that today, a classic Mustang is worth so much more than what it was back in the day. It should be noted that the iconic Mustang design has also stood the test of time. For fans of the pony car series and all things Mustang, this stunning 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is a perfect choice. With the original owner’s manual and documents included, this car comes to you with a few upgrades. Its current owner states that the recipes for the completed work are available. Take a chance on this eye-catcher and get praise on your next Sunday run.
