18. MG B GT V8
One of the most popular and typical British roadsters from the ‘60s is definitely the MG B. They presented it in 1962 as the successor of the MG A, which helped establish the roadster class in America. And the MG B was a modern car with unibody construction, a roomy interior, and a decent suspension and steering. The MG B GT V8 is a coupe version equipped with a V8 engine. And that engine is what turned this small two-seater open-top into a proper V8-powered muscle car.
They presented it in 1973, and the MG B GT V8 was powered by a 3.5-liter engine with 175 HP. That was a good figure by the early ‘70s standards. The car was a strong seller because it combined the practicality of a bigger cabin and trunk with the performance of the V8 engine. In fact, it could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.7 seconds. And lastly, American buyers loved the GT V8 since it offered compact dimensions and improved practicality with more power and performance.
