Perfect video. Perfect car. Keep making content it’s what we all need. Thanks

Excellent car, beautiful back roads. IRIS Blue, my favorite Midget and MGB Color. My last MGB (sold 2 years ago) was Iris Blue.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, there are not many roads left here without delimitation posts and signs. The Germans are in a sign mania and pave everything with traffic-, road-, warning-, commandment- and prohibition- signs. On average, you can count 100 signs per mile. Catastrophe....

@@grumpyOBCO That is also the case in the western United States where I live.. The State of Oregon is now a "nanny state". The government does not believe its citizens can think for themselves.

Great video. This has motivated me to get my 1974 MGB running again after a summer of carb problems.

SU carbs or the dreaded Strombergs? Early 74 or the Rubber Bumper version, June 74 and later?

@@jeffhildreth9244 It's an early 74 that rolled off the line in Nov. It has SU carbs and it's the last of the chrome bumper models. 1974 was a very transitional year. Anyway, I love that little car!

@@kendemers8821 Good score. Hope you get the carbs dialed in. I have owned 30 Brit cars since 1964, currently a 63 MGB.

Thanks, I owned mine for over ten years. I traded it for a truck over thirty years ago, and I still miss it. Almost EVERY day!

Thank you very much. Maybe you will have the opportunity to drive one again, but remember it is a really really small car. The door always seems as big as a briwf brand to me, but once you sit inside.....😉

You can install Austins great E series 1500 and 1745cc OHC engines with am adapter

I love it i have a 1970 Midget what did you do to it to make the exhaust sound so loveley?

Nice view; nice drive---I miss it.

I will make another video with the car as soon as I find the time.

What exhaust system does the car have? I’ve just got a 76 with stock exhaust no cat but I want it to sound like a sports car , we have no inspection requirements in Michigan yet 😂

This is a stainless steel exhaust that the car already had before the restoration. But the Midgets always sound good...😉
