I've had a quite a few MG Midgets, great little cars, which created some fun around bends at even moderate speeds, the backend could step out. The 1275cc was my favourite, the 1500 was too high with the rubber bumpers and the engine was very prone to head gaskets going, A very comfortable snug car, I used one for my weekly motorway commute from the Midlands to Heathrow airport for years, sit all day at 70mph, was warm and dry in the depths of winter, struggled to get a large suitcase in the boot, but other than that started every time first time even in depths of winter in the long stay carpark. No mod cons, just simple, pure and economical open air motoring. Could have done with a fifth gear for the motorway driving but other than that good fun.

Like the Spitfire the Midget was typical BL fare, required regular servicing and succumbed to tin worm before your eyes, even from new.......surprising they don't cost that much money for a good example these days
