The MG Midget, produced from 1961 to 1974, was a small, sporty roadster that captured the hearts of enthusiasts with its nimble handling, charming design, and affordability. This iconic car, a direct descendant of the legendary MG T-Type, was initially built by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and later by British Leyland. The Midget's design, based on the Austin Healey Sprite, featured a compact unibody construction, with a simple but efficient 1098cc A-series four-cylinder engine. This engine, known for its spirited performance and reliability, propelled the Midget to a top speed of around 80 mph and allowed it to achieve impressive fuel economy. The car's small size and light weight, coupled with its responsive steering and suspension, made it a joy to drive on winding roads, where its agility and fun-loving nature truly shone.

While the Midget's original design was simple and elegant, it underwent several revisions throughout its production run. Early models featured a single-carburetor engine and a four-speed manual gearbox, while later versions received a larger, twin-carburetor engine and a five-speed transmission. The Midget's interior was also refined over time, with improvements in comfort and convenience. Despite its compact dimensions, the Midget offered surprisingly spacious accommodations for two, and its removable soft-top allowed for open-air driving pleasure. The MG Midget became a cultural icon, representing the spirit of British sports car design and driving experience. Its enduring popularity has made it a highly sought-after classic car, appreciated for its fun-to-drive character, style, and affordability. The Workshop Service Manual, which accompanies this car, is an invaluable tool for both owners and enthusiasts looking to maintain and restore their Midget to its former glory.
