MG Classic Cars

The curvaceous roadster that modernized MG's image and introduced the marque to a generation of American buyers.

A dramatic styling break from MG's upright, pre-war-influenced T-series roadsters, the MGA wrapped a separate steel chassis in flowing, envelope bodywork inspired by MG's own record-breaking race cars. It sold strongly in the US, where its combination of genuine sports car handling and relative affordability found an eager audience just as the American sports car market was taking shape.

The best-selling British sports car ever built — simple, affordable, and easy to live with, then and now.

Replacing the MGA with a modern unibody chassis and roll-up windows, the MGB traded some of its predecessor's curvaceous charm for genuine everyday usability — and buyers rewarded that decision by making it the best-selling sports car of its era. Simple mechanicals, a huge surviving parts and support network, and real driving fun at modest cost keep it one of the most approachable classic sports cars to own today.
