This is an overview of what is the smallest mass produced sports car, the MG Midget. This particular example is a 1972 RWA 1275cc model, which is the most desirable spec.
Fantastic and odd car that I think everyone should experience! Please subscribe for more weird stuff!
Enjoy!

I bought a 1971 midget for $175 when i was 14 around 1990. Got it running with old chiltons manuals, and learned the art of wot clutch kick(poweshifting) at 6500

Haha how did that transmission hold up to that? Or the clutch lol. Sounds like a good time to me. Back when old cars were dirt cheap.

@@mattquerio engine/trans/clutch took it like a champ. I got o-ring kits from Victoria British and rebuilt the brake/clutch systems myself at 14-15yrs old. Sold the midget at 17 to buy my uncle's 84 firebird. Lol, the 1275 midget got drifted down every dirt road within 2 miles every time the folks were gone for awhile. Really, it was what? A 63ish horsepower 1275? It was a hoot! And yes, I turned the 1275 6500+ a little a thousand times

The drivetrain of these cars was never fragile. Less than 65 hp

Nice. I've always liked the Midget, but went with Bs because it's a better city driver in the modern era. If I ever lived out in the land of leafy two lane roads, I might take a Midget. Thanks for sharing.

I've always liked the B as well. More roomy for sure. I had the chance to drive a late B, really late, when the hp ratings had completely crashed. It was a gd driving car, but the early metal bumper B's are the ones that always caught my attention. The earlier the better.

Nice video - which version is the most desirable? Couldn't make it out.
@mattquerio
@mattquerio 3 месяца назад
The 1972 to 1974, which has the round wheel arches this car has, as well as the 1275cc engine. Sorry I sometimes chew on my tongue as I talk.

The MGB is a bit more of an easy driver. I got one and it does great with a 5 speed conversion.

I have driven one, and it was indeed great. It's funny that the B seems small, until you get in a midget, then you really appreciate the extra space of the B. I really want a clean BGT.

The old British homage. But, it's really not the case. They are as simple mechanically as a lawn mower.
