Well that's what I did last post. So if anybody is interested in the story ... Um its in the MG section.
What part of new to midget did I not make clear? I didn't know the difference. Hopefully, with a little guidance I will be ok soon.

So now down to business...

So many questions to ask. Please don't tell me to search forum... I'm on my iPhone at work.... Shhhh.

So how do I tell what came in / on my 73 round arch? I have read a lot of sites saying I can buy a build order (?) but that seems a little foreign to my. Basically, it's a factory black tulip 1275 cc tan (?) interior black carpet roadster with wire wheels. I have no idea how to tell what the interior (going all stock) should look like.
So any guidance is appreciated...... And pic when I figure out how from my phone or later from my computer....
Thanks guys
 
Welcome to Midget ownership.
Sprites and Midgets are largely alike so we call them Spridgets here for the most part.
Searching is productive but you will find a bunch of friendly and helpful people here, and we are all (or mostly) pretty open minded about what you do with your car.
Pictures would be greatly appreciated, it sounds like you have a pretty little RWA Midget there!
The 'build order' sounds like a Heritage Certificate. You order that from England and from what I've heard it can be very informational.
 
A Heritage Certificate for your car can be purchased HERE

And yes, as Rick says, Sprites and Midgets are mostly the same car since 1961 (except for minor trim pieces).
Sprites were no longer sold after 1971, but the company continued to build Midgets until 1980.

I also have a '73 RWA car that I just built, but it was very quick & dirty.
Mine was sort of a side project......more like a driveable parts cars. You can see it HERE

With video of mine HERE

Hope to see photos of your car a hear about your progress!
