Transistorized radio and hardwood
gearshift knob are popular options.
Dual braking systems with
disk brakes up front combine with drums at the rear for fade-free, swerve free stops. Vent windows that open are
hard to find these days.
The MG Midget's long, lean lines
terminate in this sleek rear deck with wrap-around bumper and built-in back-up lights. Center-lock wire wheels are
standard on the MG Midget.
The Midget's heavy-duty suspension
and rack-and-pinion steering make it sure-footed on any road. The distinctive MG grille is
protected against careless parkers
by this sturdy optional guard.
Let it rain - who cares. Just
roll-up the windows, button-up the snug folding top, and turn on the 2-speed wipers. Heater/defroster is standard. The Midget's lockable trunk
holds 11 1/2 cubic feet of luggage.
Optional luggage rack easily
accommodates oversize packages
or extra luggage.
