Page 1 of MG MIDGET..... Anyone got one ?
General Forum
Hi All.
Have developed a worrying want for a MG Midget Convertible.
I know nothin about them other han they are prone to rust.
Maybe coz the summer is on it`s way, albeit a long way off ! That i fancy a new toy. 8)
Just wondered if anyone had one, and what are they like ?
Been huntin for a "snap yer arm off" bargain, but yet to find one.
Many merry thanks,
SD

Not really into vintage stuff, but i believe it`s a good idea to go for the best example you can afford, try classic car mags or MG owners clubs/websites.

After passing my test I bought an MGB, spent a fair amount replacing sills etc. If you do decide to get one check the doors close properly, if not possible means the sills are going and will need replacing. Have you considered maybe an MX5 or Fiat Barchetta? both available for £3k-£4k and less prone to the TLC required by an older car like the midget.

Always fancied a MGB GT myself (from 12 onwards).
I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

BTW if you get a midget, hope you are not taller than 3ft6. :p
I gonna kill that firefox spellchecker, and enjoy doing it.

Had a mate with a red convertable MG, cruising to the pub sat in\on the back while in Cornwall was fun. 8)

RE: MG MIDGET..... Anyone got one ?
Heh, I know just how you feel SD. I always told myself that my first car would be a racing green MG Midget...living in London means I haven`t ever *needed* a car....but when I finally looked into it I found that a decent one was a bit out of my budget for things not particularly needed.
And speaking to a family member that used to have a friend that bought and restored them, was warned off buying a cheaper one as they were a nightmare to get spare parts for.
My Audi 80 doesn`t quite fill me with the same pride. :/

Not so...MG Midgets have looong noses and as you`re quite close to the ground there`s a surprisingly decent amount of leg/head room.
