MG Midget 1961-1979

What is your favourite car of all time?

Introduced in June 1961 and produced for eighteen years, the M.G. Midget was a car that recaptured some of the charm that was so endearing in the pre-war M.G. models. From the outset a runaway success, it offered fun motoring on a budget and for many an introduction to the sports car scene. Early Midgets were fitted with 948cc (58cu.in) capacity engines, but these were soon replaced by the Minor-type 1,098cc (67cu.in) unit (Mark one and a half). The Mark 2 from March 1964 used a similar, but substantially redesigned 1,098cc engine and from October 1966 Mark 3 cars used a completely redesigned (but still A-series) unit of 1,275cc (78cu.in). The last Midgets built between October 1974 and November 1979 used a Triumph 1,500cc (91cu.in) engine.
