Today, MG is a brand under Chinese ownership, and well-known for electric vehicles. Historically though, MG was a British brand, owned by the British Motor Corporation. MG stands for Morris Garages, so you can glean that it has its roots in the British automaker Morris. In its heyday, MG was well-known for producing British roadsters that embodied the joys of driving. The MGB was one of their best-sellers, and was made from 1962 to 1980. Four iterations (Mk. I to Mk. IV respectively) were made. This 1980 MG MGB Mk IV is from the last generation, and comes to you with just 46,000 miles under its belt. Hence, it’s a great weekend car to escape from the digital world, and enter an alternate universe, one where cars are analog and driving is fun.
Wearing a fetching black coat, this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV’s diminutive size is apparent when you park it next to a modern vehicle of 2024. Coming in at just 158 inches, it makes a modern compact car look gigantic in comparison. The car comes with a black canvas top, that’s really more cosmetic than functional. It’s meant to get you home in a relatively dry fashion should you be caught in some rain while enjoying open-top motoring. In fact, you’ll note that the car appears to have been designed to look its best top-down. The two-seat interior of this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV is similarly diminutive, with two leather-upholstered bucket seats only. This is a car best enjoyed alone, or with a like-minded passenger. It’s not a family conveyance. Hence, you won’t find many creature comforts, but there’s a heater and a push-button radio. Similarly, the car’s trunk is quite small and hosts the spare wheel, but there’s an external luggage rack for more capacity.
Pop the hood of this 1980 MG MGB Mk IV and you won’t find a V8 or even an in-line six. Instead, what greets you in a cheery fashion is a sprightly 1.8L four-cylinder engine. Thanks to the car’s small dimensions and light weight, you’ll be off in a very happy fashion, snicking through the gears of the 4-speed manual transmission and listening to the little engine’s surprisingly deep note. Meanwhile, the front and rear disc brakes will be ever-ready to bring you to a halt when required.

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.
It is often said that life was better in the ʼ80s. Music, clothes, and of course, cars. This 1989 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.

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.
