1965 MG - Black and white 7 3/4" x 11" ad that wonders "Who says a high performance sports car has to be a "Pneumonia Wagon"? (Certainly not MG". The text in this ad says that "We admit there was a time when owning one required a Spartan outlook and a strong constitution. There have been some changes made. By MGB". The changes that have been made include the tops, soft or hard, they are remarkably free from leaks, draughts, rattles and flaps. The roll up side windows actually do roll up, tightly. The seat adjustment has now become decadent, more room in the lock-up luggage compartment and more stowage and passenger space.

The hatchback is open and the blonde is sitting on the inside. The second is taken from the front angle of the car.

Then you go down a few inches and, over a side-view picture of this amazing beauty is the headlilne that says "At $3,095 it's practically licensed stealing". The text lets you know that, by buying this car, you will have saved a great deal of money. It does have a 1798 cc. engine so that makes it more of a steal. There is a list of more features and a statement that "the new MGB/GT acts as though 'luxury' and 'standard' were synonymous".

MG Midget - Black and white 7 3/4" x 11" ad that is for the 1970 MG Midget car that says that "Living in this sports car world has its own price. A very low one". The large photo in the ad shows a man and a woman standing next to their MG Midget admiring it and talking. There are three smaller photos, one is a shot with both doors open looking at the same couple leaning against one of the doors, another shows them standing against the rear and the third shows them standing alongside the car. The text says "Now, more than ever before, the MG Midget offers you unparelleled sports car performance for your money. Among other things, the 1970 Midget features radial-ply tires and a sleek new grille. Plus, of course, it's classic rack-and-pinion steering, racing suspension, and short-throw gearbox. But the best part of the Midget is the midget price tag - $2279. Which makes the Midget '70 the lowest priced true sports car going".

The larger picture in this ad shows a man and a woman leaning on a restored MG-TC that is parked next to a white 1972 MGB as the headline says "MG. The sports car America loved first". It then starts by talking about the MG-TC claiming "Right-hand drive, sweeping fenders, folding windscreen, cut-down doors and 19-inch wire wheels. Room enough for two. And fun enough to breed a generation of sports car enthusiasts. That was the MG-TC. Behind its wheel, thousands of Americans first discovered the joy of downshifting through a curve and the quickness of sports car handling. Today that car has evolved to the MGB. Still pure sports car. Still most at home on twisting ribbons of almost forgotten scenic route where cars go to be driven, not scorched off the line in a brute display of acceleration". The text goes on by talking about the specifics of what this car has and what it can do. There are two smaller pictures of the MGB, one of the rear end of the car and the other of the front end of the two cars together.

It's a living legend of quick, strong, dauntless performance. Our first MG won its first competition in 1929, and today MGB holds the Class E Championship in SCAA racing, as it has for five of the last six years".

In the larger photo two skateboarders have jumped over the car and are coming down to land, hopefully, on top of their skateboards that rolled under the car. If you look carefully at the photo you will see a third skateboard that is on the other side of the car. I suppose that if it was a wide angle photo we would see the third rider lying in a heap on the cement. The ad headline identifies the "MG Midget Heavy on the fun. Light on the budget."
