1974 MGB Roadster

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

For many, the definitive sports car of the 1960s and 1970s is the MG MGB — and for good reason as over half a million were made during a nearly two-decade run. But the MGB's enduring renown isn't due to its sales figures. Instead, these largely Abingdon, England-built cars were well-engineered with a durable, relatively simple design that makes them easy to work on for just about anyone. Add in the fact that the Don Hayet-penned design with its classic round headlights, bulbous fenders, and flat dashboard looks great in any color, and the reasons for the MGB's success are clear.
