The allure of British sports cars in America is undeniable, with their compact size, lively engines, and spirited driving experience capturing the hearts of many. This 1979 MG MGB Mark IV is a prime example of this charm. Adding to its appeal, this particular model boasts a unique provenance, having been previously owned by Hollywood actress Sharon Stone, with documentation and a cardboard poster included to substantiate this claim. This classic British roadster reports a mere 55,400 original miles, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Cloaked in a radiant green, the 1979 MG MGB Mark IV is a visual delight, believed by the current owner to have received a repaint at some stage in its history. Despite its compact stature, smaller than the average hatchback, its presence is undeniable, with extended North American-style bumpers that subtly complement its striking aesthetics. The sale includes a hard top and tonneau cover offering the versatility of both coupe and roadster styles. A car cover is also provided, ensuring this gem remains pristine. The interior is adorned with a charming Saddle Brown theme, featuring two seats and additional luggage space behind them to complement the trunk. Modern touches include an aftermarket JVC radio capable of CD playback. The car is also equipped with a heater, though its functionality is unconfirmed. However, such amenities are secondary to this car's true calling: exhilarating, open-top driving experiences that are best enjoyed with the wind in your hair and the sun overhead.
Under the bonnet of this 1979 MG MGB Mark IV lies a robust 1.8L inline 4-cylinder engine, capable of producing around 80 horsepower, all routed to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The braking system, featuring front discs and rear drums, is more than adequate for the car's spirited performance. While it may not be the fastest car on the road, this MG MGB offers ample excitement at legal speeds, providing a driving experience that is both thrilling and quintessentially British.
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.
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.
Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now. The car has been completely restored and rocks some neat modern features.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
The iconic AC/Shelby Cobra is one of the most sought-after British-American sports cars in the world. The result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British firm AC Cars, the Cobra saw less than 1,000 examples built in total. Today, genuine AC Cars/Shelby Cobras fetch millions of dollars, which is why you’ll be grateful to know that there are plenty of replicas. Massachusetts-based Factory Five Racing is one such firm which has made some Cobra replicas, such as this 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing that’s now for sale. Bearing just 32,735 miles on the clock, here’s your chance to own as close to an original Cobra as possible – right down to the Ford V8 that makes it go!
