Okay, after 3 MINIs and 2 Miatas I've dived into the MG Midget world. I recently (2 weeks ago) drove down to Daytona and bought a 1976 Midget for $1500. I was able to drive it the 100 miles home with no major issues. The previous owner did a lot of work to the motor/mechanical side and didn't want to spend any more time with it (he has a Pembleton car he's currently working on). The only issues were a few oil leaks and if I got to 50mph or over it had a wicked shimmy. She's up on jack stands at home now and the seats are out, carpet is pulled and I'm getting ready to pull the dash. His son had chopped up the wiring harnes for an aftermarket stereo and then yanked it when it was put up for sale. I've got a new harness coming in the mail so I'll get that back to proper.
