Evocative Custom! 1957 MGA Roadster

Under a lot of body modifications, that is an MGA! It looks like someone may have been enamored with Cobra’s or 50’s Italian sports car shapes. However, unlike many of these modified cars this one’s lines work for me,… more»

Half Price Sale: 1970 MGB

I wrote this MGB up in June when it was listed at $1500. He’s down to $700 now. Why do you think it hasn’t sold? Heck, it has new tires! Perhaps there’s lots of rust. At this price, it would at… more»

Cheap 1958 MGA Roadster Project

This MGA project looks like a bargain and the next owner could even follow along with us as we restore our coupe! It’s not going to be an easy job, but at this price you could probably come out… more»

I Want! 1935 MG TA Survivor Find

Isn’t this a breathtaking photograph? Wow. Especially for those The Red Car lovers like I am (my copy is sitting on my desk in front of me as I type). Actually, this is a 1936 MGTA, not a 40’s TC… more»

All There: 1953 MG TD

The MG TD design evolved from the 1930’s T series and is very similar in many ways. It shares the same basic styling and the body is also built on an ash wood frame. Almost all of the MG TDs were… more»

B Grade Project: 1970 MGB

At only $1,500, could this MGB listed on craigslist in Indianapolis, Indiana be worth a look? The owner was told it would run by the previous owner. Beyond that, there’s no word on the mechanicals or much else except the… more»

40 Years In A Shed: 1950 MG TD

I love the flowing lines and classic look of the T-Series MGs. While I enjoy each generation of the T in their own way, my personal favorites are the D and F. I’m not sure if it’s the small styling… more»

Chrome Bumpers Are Better: 1971 MGB Roadster

We recently picked up another MGB project and even though it’s a rare ’74 1/2 model, people still questioned our decision to drag home something with rubber bumpers. Perhaps we should have picked this one up instead? It’s a… more»

1959 MGA Twin Cam Barn Find

This is another one of those unicorns in the British car world. With dual overhead camshafts, four wheel disc brakes and Dunlop knock off disc wheels, this certainly wasn’t a normal MGA. Unfortunately due to teething problems that have… more»

Jamie’s Dream Find! 23 Cars, 11 Motorcycles & More!

As anyone that has read Barn Finds for any length of time knows, I’m the resident British car nut. Yes, the other guys like MG’s & Triumphs, but I’ve had them since I was 12 and have owned somewhere… more»

Identity Crisis: 1959 MGA Coupe

This poor MGA Coupe seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis, wouldn’t you say? A previous owner must have wished they owned a Corvette rather than an MG, so they installed some Corvettesque side trim. I… more»

What Color Should We Paint Our MGA?

Decisions, decisions. There are a lot of decisions to make when restoring a car. What parts should you reuse and what should you buy new? Should you stick with stock or make a couple of sensible modifications? These are… more»

This 1948 MG TC Has Been In A Barn Since 1962!

This story comes from an ongoing series of emails we have received from one of our readers. Here it is in Peter K’s own words: July 9, 2015 First off, I love your website and get a kick out… more»

Big Brother To Minis: 1965 MG 1100 Sedan

As the seller notes in their auction listing here on eBay, Americans might not even know the original Mini had a “big brother.” This former Florida car has been relocated to San Pedro, California and current bids are up… more»

MGA Update: Body Work Underway

This past week, we’ve been very busy with the MGA. This is easily the biggest project we’ve taken on yet! So far, things are going quite smoothly. With the body and chassis separated, we have devised a system for getting… more»

Shiny And Red: 1960 MGA 1600

This MGA is listed on craigslist and on the Performance Auto Gallery for $19,000 (Almost a bargain at half the price?). It was found in a barn in St. Michaels, Maryland and is now located near Washington, DC. This MG was owned… more»
