MG, short for Morris Garages, has been building accessible sports cars since the 1920s. The brand cemented its reputation with the T-series Midgets, which returning GIs brought to America after WWII, sparking a sports car craze. Subsequent models like the streamlined MGA and the long-running MGB defined the classic roadster experience for generations, offering nimble handling and simple mechanicals.
Collectors are drawn to MGs for their extensive club support, excellent parts availability, and straightforward maintenance. The MGB, produced for 18 years, is a cornerstone of the classic car world, with roadster and GT variants offering different experiences. While most MGs are affordable classics, rare pre-war competition cars like the K3 Magnette represent the pinnacle of the brand's heritage and value.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern on unibody cars like the MGB and Midget; inspect sills, floor pans, and the 'castle' rail sections thoroughly.
- On pushrod engines, check for blue smoke on startup or overrun, which indicates worn valve guides or rings.
- Lucas electrical systems can be finicky; test every light, switch, and gauge to ensure they function correctly.
- Overdrive units, when fitted, should engage and disengage smoothly without clunking or hesitation.
- Chrome bumper MGBs (pre-1974.5) are generally more desirable and command higher prices than the later rubber bumper models.
