Product Details

Product Description

The MG Midget is a two-seater sports car that was produced by the British carmaker, MG (Morris Garages), from 1961 to 1980. The Midget was essentially an updated version of the Austin-Healey Sprite with a more powerful engine and improved styling. It was a popular car among sports car enthusiasts due to its nimble handling, low weight, and affordability. The car had a unibody construction, with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It featured a 1.1-liter four-cylinder engine, producing around 55 horsepower, which was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The engine was later upgraded to a 1.3-liter version, producing up to 65 horsepower. The body of the Midget was small and light, with a sleek, aerodynamic design. The car had a fold-down convertible top, making it ideal for enjoying the sunshine on a warm summer day. The interior was modest but sporty, with bucket seats and a “rally-style” dashboard. Over the years, the Midget underwent several updates and facelifts. Some notable changes included a redesign of the front and rear fascias, the addition of larger bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations, and the introduction of a rubber-bumpered model. Overall, the MG Midget was a fun and affordable sports car that provided drivers with a thrilling driving experience. Today, it remains a popular choice among classic car collectors and enthusiasts.
