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.
This 1979 MG MGB comes in red, which is a suitable color for something small and charming like this. As a North American-market car, it’s got the black elongated bumpers that were mandated when the car was new, but that doesn’t detract from its cutesy looks. Then, you’ve got a tan cloth top because this is a proper convertible. Just drop the top and you’ll enjoy open-air motoring in a manner that few modern cars – even convertibles – can provide. The two-seat passenger cabin of this 1979 MG MGB is an intimate affair – you’d better choose your passenger carefully, or ride solo. Yet, it’s comfortable, with seats upholstered in tan leather, a whole host of gauges, a heater, and even a relatively modern Alpine head unit with CD player. Cargo capacity is where this car is a tad lacking, since the trunk is mostly taken up by the spare wheel. However, there’s a luggage rack mounted atop the trunk lid for more capacity – not that you’re likely to strap on multiple suitcases and drive along, that isn’t this car’s purpose.
Packing a 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder engine, this 1979 MG MGB can be a real hoot to drive thanks to its light weight and four speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The car sends drive to the rear wheels, making for a proper sports car driving feel.

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.

Some cars have their own special place in history — and that’s exactly how we’d describe the 1960 MG MGA. The MGA is a simple formula. Featuring a longitudinally-mounted engine up front, a two-door convertible body style, and rear-wheel drive, it’s the kind of classic sportscar formula that many manufacturers often try to replicate. Few cars can capture the same charms of the original MGA, though. This is carefree motoring at its best, and it's no wonder that these dainty British roadsters are sought after today.
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 term icon is reserved for the best of the best. Looking back through history, there are a few automotive icons that have helped shape the current automotive landscape and continue to ensure smiles per gallon to their custodians. Present today is a true icon, and it takes shape with this lovely 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This muscular classic from the ʼ70s guarantees thunderous performance and the best of the ʼ70s muscle car design to ensure you stand out from the crowd.
The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, also known as the Chevrolet Malibu, was marketed as “America’s most popular midsize car” in 1969. The silhouette of the second generation Chevelle was designed with a long-hood/short deck shape with a high rear-quarter kick-up, making it easily the most fabulous Chevelle out of all the other generations. The semi-fastback and flowing roofline design was mostly influenced by the legendary Camaro. This Super Sport model boasts the 396ci V8 engine that has recently received maintenance as reported by the current owner. Take one look and no doubt this Chevrolet Chevelle has been meticulously taken care of by its current owner, and is for sale in Bakersfield, California.
One of the best classic Corvettes to get your hands on is a third-generation example. That’s because the third generation is a definitive classic, but it’s not old enough to enter the higher echelons of classic Corvette price ranges. Furthermore, the third generation comes with some truly awesome styling, a range of grunty V8s that could really make things move before the Malaise Era came about, and more creature comforts. If all that sounds appealing, here’s a pre-Malaise era 1969 Chevrolet Corvette with 63,066 miles on the clock for you to consider. We’re told that the car has undergone a frame-off restoration in 2017. Furthermore, the current owner says that this car is just 1 of 102 units from this model year with a MA6 heavy-duty clutch.
