When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1, 098cc to 1, 275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones inherited from the Frog Eye Sprite and front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. A total of 226, 001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100, 246 of which were MkIII models.
