Steve's 1978 MG Midget
  



Here I am with my "new" car.  This picture was taken in March of 2002.  
After many years of never even SEEING one on the road, then a few months of searching,

I took the plunge and became the proud owner of a 1978 MG Midget. 
The previous owner lived in Boston and was a founder of the Boston Area MG Club.

A few items of interest...

Are you trying to fix or restore your Midget or Sprite on your own?  Read this.

Here is a collection of manuals and booklets for MG owners everywhere

Here is the 78-80 Midget electrical schematic (check out the custom colorized copy!) 

  July 2008:  My Midget gets top billing in a commercial photo shoot!

In June of 2005 my Midget and I were visited by members of the Organization of Spridget Handymen in Transit (O.S.H.I.T.) 

I attended BRITFEST 2002, an all-British car show held only a mile from my home! 
Have a look at some pictures from the show.

Another LBC show - the "Fallfest" show sponsored by Moss Motors, and held behind their Dover, NJ warehouse.  It was a rainy day but at least 50 cars showed up regardless.  Ed at justbrits.com has kindly put the pictures on a page at his website.   He even made available the hi-res original photos, suitable for printing.

Here are a few pictures of my Midget.

Believe it or not, my Midget is not perfect!  I occasionally come across issues with it, and try to document it all here. 
Some of the issues remain unresolved, and as I can use all the help I can get,  please email me with your thoughts.


Shifting troubles?  Maybe this is the reason - and a quick and dirty "fix"
