This morning I was able to observe a mint MG Midget. Seeing as several posters here have owned one I'd be real interested to see if they could still get into one??? [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

What year model was that MG Midget? My first showroom new car was a 1962 Austin Healy Sprite, which was actually the same car, just that the MG was a bit flashier; had a chrome grill instead of the stamped aluminum mine had, had more colors in the instrument panel where mine was just black and white, etc. And I suppose I COULD get into one again if I had to, but it wouldn't be easy and I wouldn't really want to try.

Egon, my 1962 Sprite was the first year that they got away from the bug eyed body style, but I don't even know what years they made the midget or whether they ever had a bug eyed style. Mine was black with a red interior.
The first Midgets were made in 1961 . I had a 1962 which was the first year they had the 1098 cc engine. I could still get in one no problem. They supposedly made em up to 1979 but I don't think I have ever seen one that new.

While zooming along at sixty I looked in the mirror and all I could see was the license plate of a Kenworth that was tailgating me. I decided right then that the word "midget" as applied to cars was something I would try to avoid. [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
