New owner 79 MG Midget

[brightbw]

Hello all,

My name is Bryan, and I am the new owner of a 79 MG Midget. The car has been in my family for most of it's existence. It was first owned by a distant cousin, then my grandfather purchased it from them in the early 80's. He loved this little car, and I remember riding around it with him. After he passed, the car has been with my father and uncle, with a brief stint with a family friend. And now it is my time with it.

It is in pretty good shape after being garaged for most of the last 5+ years. It needs new tires, some work on the rims, a new clutch, some general clean up and maybe some new carpets. But the body, chrome and leather are all in very good condition. My son and I will have some good times fixing her up and maybe updating her a bit. I look forward to reading and participating in discussions here.

Thanks,
Bryan

Welcome Bryan,

Welcome to the BCF. Please post photos of your little beauty, and stop by the Pub if you get a chance and join in on one of our civil, non-political discussions.

Go visit my favorite place in the Twin Cities, ****'s Kitchen for me. And maybe grab a pint at Brit's Pub some evening.

Congratulations to you, may I ask if you have had it smogged, or do you live in state that doesn’t require a smog. I am considering buying a 1976 mg midget that is adorable but it needs a CA smog.. I understand sometimes it can be very tricky and pricey.. wondering how you mg has handled the smog thing
