I sold a 71 MG Midget about three years ago for $2300.00 and then I sold
my spare parts for about $3000.00 seems they fit a lot of other cars
besides Midget.
I rolling midget and two cars without the bodies is what it amounted to.
That 1275cc engine was a real screamer.
I had fun with the Midget for 11 years and finally just got tired of
dodging MiniVans with mothers and four kids in them.
I just always stayed in their blind spot I guess.
Also; the brakes were designed and functioned very poorly.
I've often wondered if the new owner has killed himself in it.
