The MG Midget is a legendary British automobile and is largely responsible for popularising the concept of affordable yet fun sports cars that could be enjoyed by anyone. The MG Midget was closely related to the second-gen Austin-Healey Sprite with improved interior trim and some other small styling changes. Our featured car is a MKII, 1966 MG Midget Convertible. The MKII offered upgrades such as wind-up windows, external door handles, and an extra 3bhp. While the numbers may not sound all that impressive — with a 1,100cc engine and a quoted 56 hp when new — the MG Midget is much more than the pursuit of power. It’s an ode to fun, and we almost guarantee that you’ll have more enjoyment at 50 mph in this Midget than in a supercar at 150 mph.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior appearance of the 1966 MG Midget Convertible is fairly typical of British sports cars of the ’60s. The Midget features two seats, a convertible roof, and a small footprint. Our featured car is finished in red, while the black soft-top comes with a handy tonneau cover for keeping the lines flush when the roof is folded away. The MG Midget sits on 13-inch center-lock wire wheels wrapped in Dunlop tires. The interior is reported as original, save for the newly reupholstered seats. The seats are trimmed in black with white pinstriping. The driver is presented with a three-spoke wheel with the MG badge at its center. Mounted directly in front are Smiths gauges for a tachometer and speedometer. Additional black-faced Smiths gauges are found towards the center of the dashboard for fuel level, oil pressure, and water temperature.
Engine
The 1966 MG Midget Convertible utilizes the tried-and-tested drivetrain layout: engine up front, and power sent to the rear. The engine in question is a 1,098cc A-Series four-cylinder motor, which was quoted when new to produce 56 hp and 62 lb-ft of torque. The Midget features a four-speed manual transmission, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, and independent front suspension. The rear suspension comprises semi-elliptic leaf springs.
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.

Many classic car afficionados are warming up to the idea of owning and driving a classic British roadster. You see, that’s because British roadsters from the fifties through eighties are the antithesis of American cars of the same vintage. Instead of being large and heavy machines with massive V8s and immense power, the classic British roadster rides on lightness and frugality. Hence, you’ll typically find small four-cylinder engines, manual transmissions, and compact dimensions. No, not compact as in the compact segment that we know. We’re talking much smaller. Take this 1976 MG Midget as a prime example. This 79,000-mile car is up for sale with us right now and looks like it could fit in your pocket. The sale of the car includes three keys and two gas cap keys, and we’re told that it bears the original mileage. Furthermore, one thing is assured, and that’s the broad smile on your face when you drive it like it’s meant to be driven.
