![]() The new production fiberglass Bug-Eye Bonnet has been joined very nicely to the front of the Midget, then the REST OF THE MG was Also Changed, as it could be done, to give this car that late 50s early 60s English Sports Car Look. The 71 MG Midget is a basically rust free car with solid floors, frame rails and all the known "bad areas" are solid! A very good base. I welcome all to check this car out and the more knowledgeable of MG Midgets and Austin Healey Sprites you are the better to see the value in this car. It will fit perfectly between them! And being a one of a kind it's far more rare than either of them! Put it between the Bug-Eye and the Midget you already have in your collection. But when he found out the requirements to hill climb it called for a welded in roll cage that would not allow the top to fit anymore he just finished it as a great Sunday driver.Well done on a solid rust free chassis this car now really is a true collectable. My friend started out to build a good looking road legal vintage race car to use in local hill climb events, so the best of everything was done. They were not looked at as all that collectable back then but today these are very hard to find, and one that has been done as well as this one is near impossible to find! Not that easy to do, but the idea is you put a Bug-Eye Sprite front end on any later sprite or any Midget and you get the great look of the Bug-Eye with the performance and comfort of the newer Midget style car. Back in the day we called this combination a "Spridget".
