The 1966-1974 MG Sprite and Midget are iconic British sports cars known for their nimble handling, charming design, and affordable price point. These compact roadsters were the successors to the original Austin-Healey Sprite, and they maintained the same basic formula: a lightweight, open-top body with a powerful, rev-happy engine. The Sprite and Midget shared a common chassis and were mechanically similar, though there were subtle visual differences. The Sprite had a more rounded, "bubble-top" design, while the Midget featured a more angular, squared-off appearance. Both cars were powered by a 1.1-liter A-Series engine, initially producing 58 horsepower but later upgraded to a more potent 65 horsepower. The engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the rear wheels were driven by a live axle. These tiny sports cars were a hit with enthusiasts, offering a fun and engaging driving experience along with a touch of British flair. Despite their small size, they could hold their own on winding roads, thanks to their nimble handling and quick acceleration. However, their spartan interiors and lack of creature comforts, along with their limited practicality, were drawbacks for some. Nonetheless, the Sprite and Midget earned a devoted following, and their popularity has only grown in recent years. With their charming design, peppy performance, and affordable price tag, the 1966-1974 MG Sprite and Midget continue to be desirable classic cars, offering a taste of British sports car history to new generations of enthusiasts.
