Alum on rear case and tranny are supose to be painted, rear end black and tranny engine color. Not on a Midget, Jack.....on an early Midget the differential itself (aluminum 3rd member) is natural, the differential case is black....the transmission is natural. There ARE some differences between the Bugeye & the Midget! Not original, but clean, bare aluminum looks MUCH nicer IMHO!! On an early Midget, this IS original! Remember, I took the car apart & found no sign of paint on the 3rd member or transmission (& on MGB's they are also both natural)...& some old factory/advertising photos I've got show them unpainted..remember, MG was always looking at ways to cut costs & they assembled lots of things just as the arrived at Abingdon.

Intresting to say the least.
Somewhere we got to get a concourse guide.

Somewhere we got to get a concourse guide. Concourse guide for Bugeye or Srite wouldn't mean anything to the restoration/judging of a Midget....that's one of the things I've got against "The Original Sprite & Midget" - its too broad to be worth much. Oh, I just slid up under my '74 RWA with a flashlight...I'm the 2nd owner & the female original owner from whom we got it never did anything to it except repairs.....3rd member is dirty but unpainted as is the transmission.
