MG Midget? Ex had a 1970. I always felt like a circus bear in that thing (all I needed was the fez and the little red vest) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
It was fun (for short trips), but hot, pretty cramped--especially with the top up. The top tended to leak, so rust was a concern. Same with the rear trunk. Car tended to overheat too (at least while I was stationed at Luke AFB AZ). Car was pretty simple to work on, but with certain idiosyncrasies (Lucas electrics, goofy shock absorbers, etc.). Oh, and if it's the early models with the 2-piece rear bumper, virtually every one of them had a dent between the bumpers below the trunk right where the license plate mounts . . . . I think somebody here is working on one--they'll have more current info (we sold the car in 1975 or so, and I haven't touched one since) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Should be a wealth of info on these things around the net. Hope this helps! |
