A continuation of the MG T-series of sports cars since the 1930s, the MG TD was significantly wider than the outgoing TC model. It used the platform of a large (for an MG) sedan model, brought over the engine of the outgoing TC, and introduced independent front suspension. Par for the course when designing cars...
A few days ago, my plumber stopped by to fix a few issues in our new house. In chatting, he reminded me he's a fiend for vintage cars, and that he has a clean MG Midget taking up space in his garage. I said I'd throw it on Barn Finds to see if anyone is in...
1954 MG TF 1
Growing up as a car-nut kid in the '60s, these MG TD’s always turned my head. They looked like nothing else on the road (or coming out of Detroit). Their separate headlights, vertical grill, thin cutaway doors, running boards, and spare tires on the back just oozed classic British roadster. If you’ve ever dreamed of...
Just a few short months after photographing the cars in their "found" state in New Mexico, I traveled to Phoenix where the cars had been brought to be
When Austin-Healey redesigned the Sprite, MG got a new Midget out of the deal. The Sprites were built at the MG plant in Abingdon, so adding the octagon badge and some additional chrome trim brought us the first Midget since the MG TF Midget went out of production in 1955. Here is a second year...
This seller has been reliably listing barn finds from Florida for the past year, and this latest find is a right-hand drive 1950 MG TD. Of course, true to this seller's form, he doesn't spend much time telling us about the car other than it was a barn find and the engine spins freely by...
Long-term ownership of a classic car is nothing new, but this 1952 MG TD takes it to a new level. It has been part of the same family for an incredible seventy years, but the time has come for it to head to a new home. It underwent a frame-off restoration many years ago, but...
Long forgotten in the corner of a horse barn since 1975, this 1951 MG TD has now been found and can be your new project car. 70,000 miles are posted in the listing as the mileage, and the seller does include a VIN as well as claiming a clear title. To bring this project car...
If you've never experienced an MGA, you're really missing out on one of the finest British sports cars ever built. While it's not the fastest or best handling, it is the perfect balance of all of those things with a design that is uniquely British. Like most cars of the era, the MGA was updated...
When I think of the quintessential British sports car, the MG T-Series is often the first car that comes to mind. Their styling is iconic, the mechanics are robust, and the driving experience is uniquely British. With a little over 29k TDs having been built, you'd think you would see more of these on the...
One of the most significant challenges an owner can face when purchasing a project car is determining what parts they will require to return their new toy to its pristine best. The person who buys this 1959 MGA will face fewer hurdles than most because the seller includes an enormous collection of parts to get...
The evolution of the MG T-series perfectly illustrates the value of the American car market to Britain in the post-war period. The first of the T-series was launched in 1936. The TA was a slipper of a car sold to skeptical Brits already made cranky by the formation of the Nuffield Group - a mash-up...
After returning this 1975 MGB to the road through some extensive work, the seller has tested the car for over 500 miles before offering it for sale! It's listed here in our Barn Finds Classifieds and is priced at $6,850. The car is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. There were 387,184 MGB Tourers (convertibles) produced...
A couple of factors make classic British sports cars from the early post-war years attractive for enthusiasts. The first is that their engineering is pretty basic, making them a popular pick for restoration projects. However, their affordability attracts many, and this 1951 MG TD is a case in point. It runs and drives well, meaning...
Seller's Description: Very original 32,000-mile car. Very nice solid car. The paint is worn a bit with small flaws from sitting in a garage with things stacked on it. Not cosmetically perfect but a true low mileage car. Just had lots of mechanical work done after coming out of storage. Has All new brakes, clutch...
The introduction of the MG TA in 1936 marked some new ground for the famous British car marque, which was still in its infancy. The TA, despite being small, had a track 3" wider and a wheelbase 7" longer than its predecessor model the PB. This particular car is characterized as 90% complete by the...
Long-time Barn Finds submitter Peter R. sent us this nicely driven but not abused 1948 MG TC. It's located close for you New England readers in Medway, Massachusetts and is advertised here on craigslist. It's a little lower priced than most TCs I see on the market, but there are some issues as well. Of...
This ad on eBay listing a 1952 MG TD contains one salient sentence: "The vehicle needs work." So let's go with that, and figure out exactly what it might take to resurrect this MG, and why you might want to run down to El Cajon, California to retrieve it. The seller wants a starting bid...
If I ever become insane enough to go back to school for a doctorate, I think I will study metallurgy. My doctorate would be built around research into the steels and processes used back in the day to build some of the cars we see on Barn Finds. Specifically, Chrysler products from 1957-1974, GM cars...
If you have the desire to get your hands on an iconic British sports car project, then this 1954 MG TF might be a car that is worth considering. It appears to be largely complete, and some of the restoration work has already been completed for you. Barn Finder Andria A spotted the little MG...
Just a few short months after photographing the cars in their "found" state in New Mexico, I traveled to Phoenix where the cars had been brought to be
I was excited to recieve a call from Bonhams that they had a line on a "barn find" of a group of cars in New Mexico that they wanted me to document in their
Sure this 1954 TF would look more elegant with a nice shiny paint job, but we think it would catch more attention left as is. Obviously there are some areas that are going to need serious attention before it will be ready to drive, but it definitely has potential. The seller claims it has spent...
Running, driving, project cars are few and far between - either the car is so much a project that it can't be safely run, or it's not a project at all. Here's one that fits the bill - a useable 1953 MG TD owned by one family and now up for sale in a no-reserve...
The MGA was a British roadster-style sports car produced by MG from 1955-62. As was the case with most English cars like this, the vast majority were exported to the U.S. and beyond. This ’61 MGA has been in the same family since new and kept in a garage and off the road the past...

For some strange reason, British sports cars have been on my mind as of late. So, when I spotted a light blue MGA on my way home from work the other day, it really got my blood going. I had forgotten how handsome their curves are. What a departure from the T-Series it replaced! I...

Just as there can be times, as blood mixes with grime and 40-weight, when we might dramatically and passionately expound on the parentage of whatever engineer decided that bolt needed to be that close to the frame, so there are quiet moments when we pause to consider the deep questions of life. For example, is...
Although it might seem familiar at first glance, this is one of the most rare British sports cars ever to hit American shores. This 1969 MGC convertible is one of only 1,757 produced in Abingdon that year. Located in San Francisco and listed here on eBay, it has attracted only a single bid thus far....
The Gathering Of the Faithful (GOF) is one of the more iconic MG events, having been held continuously since 1964 by the New England MG T-Series Register. This TD has recently been pulled from storage after more than 30 years in a barn, and it's dashboard tells quite a story of participation in past GOF's. The...

While it may look a bit dusty and unloved, this 1979 MGB has remained washed and waved until fairly recently. If what the seller says in the listing is correct, then a good wash will be all that it takes to get the little gem sparkling once again. Barn Finder Little Cars spotted this one...
Old British sports cars don’t die, they get faster. Due to the loss of weight from rust, or something like that. Although this ’57 MGA is a little rough around the edges, miraculously this little roadster is more solid than you would expect. Recently recovered from a barn after many years on blocks, this MGA...
This bashful 1951 MG TD has been owned by the same gentleman since 1983 and has been hiding out, covered, in garages the entire 37 years of its ownership. Lucky for us tipster Chuck Foster spotted this Virginia Beach based beauty here on Facebook Marketplace, with an asking price of $13,000, just listed. The photos...

1967 barn find with the body in pretty good condition. The floor pans have holes but all metal needed to repair included. Motor was rebuilt 7 years ago according to the guy I got it from. He drove into his garage expecting to finish the restoration 7 years ago. I did a compression check and...

A lot has been said about the iconic MGB on Barn Finds. While there is criticism here and there, these cars are widely acknowledged to be a solid choice for someone looking for an easy onramp to the British sports car experience. The fact that over 500,000 of them were built is both a blessing...
