1979 MG Midget Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It was cheap and always runs and fun to drive. As long as the motor and transmission are good all the rest is cheap and easy to find parts. The carburetor is funky and could cost you if you need to get into it and I'm sure the same goes for the drive train. It's also very tiny and you could get ran over if your not cautious. Also not for big or tall people. No road trips !Aug 11, 2013

It's fun, especially topless, excellent tool for sunburns, and also fantastic for dates. Also gets terrific acceleration for a 1500 4-cylinder, but also gets better performance with after-market performance parts (mine has a few, including a header, split-flow carb, etc.) I also happen to know you don't have to pull both tranny and engine to replace the clutch... but the poor thing had been through the wringer before I came by it, so it's also a bit clunky, sometimes it won't go, sometimes it won't stop, but all it really needs is a ground up restoration. But Midgets aren't in particularly high demand, and you do need to pretty much be an enthusiast to want one.Sep 30, 2009
