The MGB, a British classic from 1962 to 1980, is like the cooler, faster cousin of the MGA, hitting 60 mph in just over eleven seconds—perfect for those high-speed chases to the grocery store. Sporting a unibody design with crumple zones, it’s practically the superhero of cars, ready to save you in a 30 mph collision. Special thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the images, proving that even cars love a good photoshoot!
The AC Cobra Mark III is the car that put the ‘zoom’ in ‘vroom’ and made Corvettes cry. Born from a British roadster, it was beefed up in Los Angeles with a Ford engine, transforming into a racing beast. Detroit Ford worked with Shelby to craft the Mark III, boasting a 427 engine that could hit 185 mph on race tracks and leave a trail of awestruck spectators. The British government even imposed speed limits after one Cobra hit 186 mph on the M1! Talk about leaving a mark—or a skid mark, in this case.
