New owner 79 MG Midget

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 - and sounds like a great car to have! See you in the Spridget section. :cheers:
 
Welcome aboard! We have a special forum for discussing Midgets and Sprites called the "Spridget" forum - as JP said, see you there!
 
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
