I live in North Dakota, USA, with my wife. Just down the road a few minutes from my daughter, son-in-law and 5 fantastic grandchildren (three boys, two girls). I have owned several really great cars in my lifetime but always wanted an MG. Recently, we decided to get a toy and started looking at old Mustang convertibles. One day, my wife looked at me and said "this car is going to be a pure toy and nothing more, right?" I said, "yea". She said, "well then, don't get just anything, get what you want." I now own a fantastic, low mileage black with red interior 1963 MG Midget Mk1. Lot cheaper (and interesting) than an old Mustang too!!!!

A prior owner tried to lift the car by the floorboards and pushed them upward. When I finally straightened them out after 30+ years, the sheetmetal was split at the spotwelds. Oh well...

Replaced the Sprite grill that came with the car with an original Midget grill. Changed the car completely. I also put a new top on it. Replaced the black top with a bright red one that matches the interior. We took the car to a car show over the weekend of 28 Feb-1 Mar. Didn't win any thophies, but then again didn't expect to. Far too many trailer queens were there. It did get quite a few votes as "people's choice" though, which was plesant. One really exciting thing that happened during...

Haven't really done, or had to do a lot to the car yer. I have spent the last several weeks, going over the electrical system, fixing the little "bugs" and cleaning connections. This car is amazingly clean and unmolested. Every time I get under it, or dig into things, I am amazed about how lucky I was to find such a car, and within 25 miles of my home. Today, I decided to unhook the silly aftermarket temp gauge that the PO mounted under the dash, and hook up the original tube from the dual...
