MG Midget M3 (Tax Exempt!)

OH YES!!!!

Are you using the 185bhp ish lotus engine with fixed cam timing or is it a modified KV6? Id love to know some rough plans on that one!

Whatever 1800 k we can find. Preferably a VHPD. Then the necessary goodies to get the ponies.

Won't be putting a build thread up, sorry. But we will have the build progress on our site.

Will have the site updated over the weekend before I put the address up.

It is said that it still drives like a midget too.

Is a midget good to drive ?(never had one)

Absolutely superb

Standard they are a bit wallowy and tramline quite a lot. But with the right bits they turn into a total hooligan mobile.

Ours are all sorted for competition in autotesting, selectives and classic rallying. So they drive better than most new performance cars.

We tend to stick to the a-series engine, but were doing a few swaps to scare ourselves for a while. Then find more power to continue trying to tame them.

Both our cars are boasting around 140-150 hp from 1430 and 1480 cc engines. Makes for some interesting moments both on the road and under the clock.

think there is a bit of a dutton look about that midget and a bit caterham around the rear arches. if anything its a better looking car in fact than a caterham.

Should've gone to specsavers.

I like it. But it certainly isn't beautiful in any way apart from the original midget silhouette.

not sure who called it beautiful ?
