British sports cars are the antithesis of everything that defines an American sports car. While we like our large, flamboyant sports car with plenty of power, the Brits did things very differently in the Fifties through the Eighties. They preferred smaller bodies with compact road footprints that could quickly nip along narrow country roads. They traded massive and thirsty engines for smaller, more economical ones. Instead of sheer horsepower, they focused on usable power and light curb weights to achieve sprightly performance. That's precisely what this 1966 MG Midget offers its next lucky owner. A lightweight, two-seat, open-topped sports car that's most at home when driven hard down a winding road. While you sit mere inches off the road and wind up the rorty engine, maintaining as much momentum as possible through a set of corners, you'll grin widely and be surprised at how much fun this car offers at 50 or even 30mph. The current owner says that the mileage is most like 113,338 miles since it only has a five-figure odometer. More critically, it's said to be an all-original car that's been garage-kept. Will you be its next owner, then?
Exterior and Interior
We forgot to mention another key factor about British roadsters, and that's their color palette. Bright was the order of the day, as evidenced by the bright red paint that this 1966 MG Midget proudly wears. The car comes with its original chrome bumpers and rolls on wire wheels. It's also got a soft top and tonneau cover in case the weather turns for the worse while you're out enjoying an exhilarating drive. Inside, there's not much to mention, really. Three pedals, two leather-trimmed low-back seats, one steering wheel, and one gear shifter. Oh, and five gauges to tell you speed, engine revs, fuel level, plus water and oil coolant temperatures. Of course, being road-legal, this car also has head and taillamps, turn signals, and wipers. There's even a padded area behind the seats for some modest luggage. We also spot a heater, but aren't sure if it works or not.
Engine
This 1966 MG Midget packs a dinky 1.1L in-line 4-cylinder engine that can barely muster up 60hp to send to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. Who cares, though, when you've got something that weighs next to nothing?
The 1979 MG Midget represents the closing chapter of MG’s long-running tradition of lightweight British sports cars, carrying forward the simple formula that made the marque beloved by driving enthusiasts: compact dimensions, an open cockpit, rear-wheel drive, and an engaging manual transmission. Originally introduced as an affordable sports car focused on driver enjoyment, the Midget became known for its approachable character and ability to deliver an authentic roadster experience without unnecessary complexity. Showing approximately 47,372 miles, this example embodies the charm of a classic British convertible, offering the opportunity to enjoy a vintage sports car experience defined by mechanical simplicity, light handling, and timeless roadster appeal.
Imagine if an automaker made a car called Midget today! There would be mass uproar, massive social media campaigns of condemnation and a lot of flak to contend with. The world sure has become a rather touchy place. No such finickiness existed in 1961 when British sports car maker MG or Morris Garages released a diminutive two-seat roadster. They simply called it the Midget because it was one of their smaller offerings. Prior, the Midget nameplate had been seen on some of their other cars too. So what’s so funky about this 1971 MG Midget MKIII from Indiana, Pennsylvania? Well, for starters it’s a fantastic way to experience true, unadulterated sports car motoring because it relies on light weight and small dimensions to give you a good time rather than brute force and wallowing about. Granted, these cars are well built to stand the test of time. So call us ASAP if you want it.
