by longing for past times and
cost of running/ownership.

Comments:
Since obtaining my drivers
license I had wanted an MG. Found a 1974
Midget in great (well OK) shape and
couldn't resist. Since then it has cost
twice again what I paid and I am well and
fully addicted to it.
1-It was all that I could afford 2-wire
wheel alloy hood had to have it 3-I have
to make the B that I've always wanted
Still have all 3
I got it for FREE and it is actually in
very good shape "had it running after two
hours".
Classic style performance and all round
fun at an affordable price
Cause it's fly ;)
74 Midget looked sad (pitiful) with about
8 coats of paint. It needed a new home and
I needed a project (currently it's in the
process of being stripped. Besides it's a
"round wheel arch" year and reminded me of
by highschool '68 "B".
