I’d recognize a W108 front grille anywhere in the world…but I am equally impressed and gobsmacked to find a W108 grille on the front of a custom MG thing. Moving toward the rear of the car and I don’t see many MG related things, it’s got a small-block Chevy V8, triple wipers, and Lotus Seven […]
This next custom build is absurdly compelling: Miata chassis, MGB GT coupe shell, K24A2 swap, manual gearbox, wide wheels, flares, and enough unfinished fabrication to scare away normal people instantly. The body-swap concept makes sense in a deranged way. You get the classic MGB GT roofline and hatchback proportions, but underneath is a Miata platform […]
The MG Midget was one of the smallest possible way to experience British sports car purity, and today’s example leans hard into that ethos with a fresh performance 1275, aluminum dash, Miata seats, and headers dumping straight into a pipe, turning a once polite club racing fodder into something that sounds like a baby Cobra […]
Here’s a car that mixes tweed caps with Tesla vibes: a vintage MGB roadster that’s ditched SU carbs and leaky gaskets for electrons and torque. Under the hood (and in the trunk) sits an assortment of electronic junk such as motors, batteries, and controllers. Plug it in via a J1772 port cleverly hidden where the […]
Before British roadsters were burdened with safety standards and cupholders, there was the MGB—light, charming, and powered by sheer optimism. This chrome-bumper example delivers wind-in-your-hair motoring and just enough Lucas electrics to ensure you never get too confident. Today’s example looks nice with red glossy paint, and it might be nice enough to justify the […]
The MGB GT continues to be one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to get into a classic Pininfarina-styled machine with a racing pedigree and class. The BGT is a rare example of a car with a price that hasn’t been appreciated into the stratosphere by hungry classic car stamp collectors and I couldn’t be […]
This next car comes as a tip from JPT, who writes: Diesel Midget? Diesel Midget! I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or look for loose change in my sofa. Maybe someone else does! Okay, who puts a Kubota diesel engine from a piece of farm equipment into an MG that was originally powered by […]
This next car comes as a tip from Pete who writes: Cool ass car. Looks like a right near healthy deal to me. interested per chance? Yes, indeed, this is a good-looking MGB with an airplane-style finish to the bodywork and rad wheels. Find this 1978 MG MGB offered for $5,500 in St Petersburg, FL […]
The MGB GT continues to be one of the cheapest ways to get into a Pininfarina-styled fastback classic with a racing pedigree and affordable (and available) parts. The BGT is a rare example of a car with a price that hasn’t been appreciated into the stratosphere by hungry classic car stamp collectors and I couldn’t […]
The first generation (Mark I) MG Midget was a pint-sized runabout from Morris Garage that shared mechanical parts with the ’61-’64 Austin-Healey Sprite. The Midget shared almost every part of its bill-of-materials (except the badge) with the Sprite, but today’s Midget has been given a cool custom slant-nose front end and a Toyota 22RE inline-4. […]
