Rockers, Racers & Rebels

The stylish MGA featured in "Blue Hawaii," alongside Elvis Presley in 1961. The world renowned singer, songwriter and cultural icon enjoyed driving the car so much that he bought it and kept it at his Graceland residence in Memphis, Tennessee. The car is the only machine owned by the legendary musician to also appear in one of his films.

Throughout the sixties and beyond, pop culture icons from music, sport and film all began owning MGs. From George Best to King Charles, and Bill Wyman to James Dean, the MGA fast become a cult modern classic.

Best-Selling MG of All Time

The best-selling MG of all time, the MGB roadster, arrived in 1962. It’s arguably the first modern MG, since it was the first car from the marque to use monocoque construction, rather than a separate chassis as the MGA and others had. Like the MGA before, the majority of MGB’s would be sent to the United States and it remained in production until 1980. No small feat.
