MG
The MG Car Company got its name from Morris Garages, a dealer of Morris cars in Oxford which began producing its own customized versions to the designs. The company started making cars back in the 1920's, and as such is a historic marque. The MGB is a popular car and once sold well in the US. There is a large community of MGB enthusiasts and thus parts are well supported and readily available. The roadster, the most common version of the ‘B’ is a lively, fun open top sports car with tons of personality.
