The MG MGA was the sleek, aerodynamic sports car that swept away MG's upright pre-war look, sold over a hundred thousand almost entirely for export, and remains the prettiest of the affordable classic MGs. A guide to the 1500, 1600 and 1600 MkII pushrod cars, the rare and troubled Twin Cam, what to look for when buying, and what they are worth.

The MG MGB GT added a handsome Pininfarina-styled fastback roof and a practical hatchback to the MGB, making a refined 2+2 that is one of the most underrated classics there is, and the rare MGB GT V8 gave it real pace. A guide to how the GT differs from the roadster, the V8, what to look for when buying, and what they are worth.

The MG MGB was the modern monocoque roadster that sold more than half a million and became, for years, the best-selling sports car in the world.

The MG MGC was the MGB given a 3.0-litre straight-six, conceived as a replacement for the big Austin-Healey 3000 and damned in period for nose-heavy handling. A guide to the redesigned six-cylinder engine, the truth about the handling reputation, the roadster and GT, what to look for when buying, and why a sorted MGC is now a sought-after grand tourer.

The MG Midget was the tiny, nimble, affordable roadster built alongside its near-identical twin the Austin-Healey Sprite, and the cheapest way into classic MG ownership.
