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 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 MGB was built by MG (Morris Garages) Cars in England back when the British Empire produced things for export other than loud mouthed food critics, loud mouthed automobile pundits, or naked royals. The classic MGB survived with only minor cosmetic changes from 1962 through 1980 by being good at what it did. Today’s MGB […]
Why would you store an MGB GT on top of your trailer? Is that for transportation? Long-term storage? Short-term accident? To stop the MGB GT from being reabsorbed into the earth? I have so many questions and limited details from the seller. At least I get to use the “up on stoves” badge and tag. […]
This next car comes from BP who writes: Something to watch. Despite being on the rather ‘pricey’ Bring a Trailer site (BaT.com) is this MGB currently at $1450 with 3 days of the 7 gone already. Surprisingly low for relative to a bunch of other B’s coincidentally listed at this time. Nevertheless, clean, interesting, and […]
There are rare cars…and then there are cars that take you down a rabbit hole to find out what you are looking at. Today, I’m still dizzy from the spiraling descent into the internet to figure out what this thing is. It isn’t a 1994 Bentley Brooklands.…that is a big 4-door luxury sedan…and it isn’t […]
If you are a fan of classic cars that aren’t total rusted barn finds, but are projects that could use some mechanical sorting (keeping the bidding down)…well, you might want to stick around for this next one. This car will be a great purchase for someone who doesn’t mind doing the mechanical work to get […]
