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!!!!

There is some damage in the driver's footwell that will have to be fixed. The floorboard is split for about 5 inches where it meets the forward most support beam. 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 ...

Taken at Wild About Wheels Show Minot ND

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 g...
