Cheers from the Heartland! Just joined, obviously, and looking forward to whatever I can learn from those who know more than I do, which I'm sure is most of you. I have a 1970 MG Midget MKIII that I recently got from a friend when he moved to Colorado. I didn't actually want the car, but he needed it gone and I decided what the heck, why not. I've never owned an MG, but I've had two Triumph GT6s, a 1967 and then a 1970. Rode Norton motorcycles for years, now riding old Italian stuff including a 1988 Ducati Paso and a 1983 Laverda RGS. Oh, and a 1967 Wards Riverside 250, which is actually a Benelli. They're all riders, not trailer queens.
The Midget is remarkably clean and rust free, and shows a reportedly true 58,700 miles. It's been in Lawrence, Kansas, where I live, since new. It sat for a few years, and it's been fun - so far - getting it back on the road. Right now I'm attempting to see if I can make it run properly on a Weber 32/36 DGV. I already had the carb (originally intended for a Volvo PV544) and after several unsuccessful attempts at getting the MG's SUs to behave figured I'd give it a try. Yes, I know it's a contested and fraught subject, but I don't have much to lose. Worst thing that can happen is I throw in the towel and rebuild the SUs.
Anyway, from the poking around I've done this looks like a great community of enthusiasts and an excellent resource for British car owners.
