1978 MG Midget
This perky little car was born as a two-seater sports car to bring joy to those who enjoy thrashing around tracks for good fun. The MG Midget was officially debuted in 1961 and it was produced as the Midget MkI, MkII, MkIII and the 1500 over the years. You can even call it the typical affordable British sports car of the ‘70s while the Midget 1500 have become least costly model at this day and age. The reason for this is that the Midget 1500 was made more pedestrian-friendly and gone were the sparkly chrome around the exterior that allured buyers. However, we think the MG Midget 1500, just like the 1978 model year one here, is a bargain for what it offers. Clocked at 36,000 miles, this Midget retains its original interior and brags a few upgrades to upkeep its performance.
From the 1974 model year, the MG Midget 1500 saw black plastic front and rear bumpers, increased ride height and anti-roll bars. The clean looking white paint of our subject 1978 MG Midget 1500 is reportedly repaint 1 year ago. Walking around this Midget, you might notice the wheel arches at the back takes a square shape. This is to increase its body strength. Even if most of the chrome adorns of the exterior were replaced, the chrome rack on the trunk lid and chrome frames around the round headlights and side indicators still shine like the model's predecessors do. You can find MG badges on the front grille and rare boot lid while “Midget” badges are placed on the side sills. Having the top down of this 1978 MG Midget 1500 gives a clear view it’s the classic brown interior. You get the original four gauges, knobs and buttons housed on the dashboard. Right in front of them is the large MG steering wheel wrapped in brown leather.

Linked to a Morris Marina sourced manual gearbox, this engine is able to produce 65 horsepower. Moreover, this Midget have said to receive new gaskets, master cylinder, rubber parts and a brake booster for good measure.

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?
