8. MG B GT
One of the most popular and typical British roadsters from the `60s is the MG B. Introduced in 1962, B was a successor of the MG A which helped establish the roadster class in the US. For the standards of the day, MG B was a fairly modern car with unibody construction, roomy interior, and decent suspension and steering.
But, today we will tell you about its coupe version called GT equipped with a V8 engine which turned this small two-seater open-top into a proper V8-powered muscle car. Introduced in 1973, MG B GT V8 was powered by a 3.5-liter engine with 175 HP, a good figure for the early `70s standards. The car immediately became a strong seller because it combined the practicality of a bigger cabin and a trunk with the performance of the V8 engine. It achieved a 0-60 mph time of just 7.7 seconds.
