  Nice ride ! I am helping a friend with a complete restoration of a 1971 Midget. When I say complete, I mean complete. Much modified 1275, 5 speed Datsun transmission etc. We should be done in a couple months which will make it 1 year.

  Thank you very much. Yes, here in Germany most people have the same opinion. There is a German saying that I always have to listen to: God protect me from storm and wind and cars that are from England.... But you're right, if the cars are well maintained they run without problems, and the effort is much less than with German or even Italian cars. They also look much better, not to mention the price.

  I used to have 1964 mg midget in my teens. I tuned it up with a stage 2 cam and twin mgb carbs and mistakenly with a competition clutch. It was so high revving that the worn out gearbox bearings prevented gear change at high revs. It was lethal in the wet. The pedals were too close together for my big feet. I doubt I could even get in one now being 5 stone heavier. I broke the crankshaft in the end, the 1098cc engine was never meant for the kind of abuse I gave it. But I did make money when I sold it, surprisingly.

• 
  @grumpyOBCO9 ай бұрын

  Nice story 😂Yes, the pedals are somehow always much too close together in English cars, and I'm unfortunately also aware of the increasing body proportions myself. But somehow I like the small cars and squeeze into them. When you sit in one, it's really comfortable. This one has an original 1275 engine and I hope I won't have any problems.😉

  72 GT with an early grille, looks great. Webasto sun roof"? I am partial to the GT models. Have not owned a B GT but bought a 1969 MGC GT in 1970 when working for the MG dealer in Monterey Calif. Mine was Mineral Blue with a Webasto Sunroof and 4 speed Automatic Transmission, chrome wire wheels. Kids came along , sadly sold the car. I miss it. But happy with my 63 MGB.

• 
  @grumpyOBCO10 ай бұрын

  Yes, I like the GT models too, I would also like the MGC with the 6 cylinder, I personally find it even better than the V8. MGB with automatic transmission are very rare in Europe, mine has the manual 4speed gearbox. I got an overdrive gearbox for the car many years ago, but unfortunately it has not been installed until today. We don't have children yet so the car is still there....

  @@grumpyOBCO Not many appreciate the MGC saying it does not handle well. I think these people mis identify the purpose of the MGC which is a true Grand Tourer, to include the roadster, not a twisty road racer. I miss mine. Unfortunately, they are now quite scarce and twice the price of the MGB. . I keep looking and hope to find one. I agree, the MGC models are, for me, a much better car than the V8.

  Excellent video. Cool car. Nice shots of your Midget and the MGA together. I really like the Early 1500 MGAs. I see you also installed the late wingless knock offs. In 1970 I bought and restored a 1956. The previous owner threw a rod so an overhaul was not an option. I installed a 3 main MGB engine. Mine was Old English White with Red interior and wire wheels. I miss that car.

• 
  @grumpyOBCO10 ай бұрын

  Yes, the 1500 is also the most beautiful MGA for me, especially because of the small tail lights. The car originally came from the USA and needed a full inspection at the Tüv after the restoration and they didn't like the wing nuts. It still has the original 1500 engine, but it has been given a 5-speed gearbox. It drives really well with this.
