The motor in this vehicle has a very light tick/knock at high RPM's, it runs and drives well, but may need internal motor work
The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this custom 1971 MG Midget convertible for your consideration. Powering this MG is a 3.8L V6 odd-fire motor paired to a smooth-shifting manual transmission. This Midget comes in a dark red paint job complemented by a sharp red interior. Some upgrades to this MG include V6 swapped, Hurst shifter, Radial GT tires, Edelbrock carb, upgraded cooling system, A/N fuel lines, and much more. This little MG will outpower the rest and look the best doing it. So if you are in the market for a custom MG that will put you back in your seat this is the car for you! Please contact us today for more information.
The engine grew to 1275 cc using the development seen on the Mini-Cooper 'S'. Enthusiasts were disappointed that this was a detuned version of the 76 bhp (57 kW) at 5800 rpm Cooper 'S' engine, giving only 65 hp (48 kW) at 6000 rpm and 72 lb·ft (98 N·m) at 3000 rpm. A reduced compression ratio of 8.8:1 was used instead of the 9.75:1 employed on the Cooper S engine. The Midget used the 12G940 cylinder head casting that was common to other BMC 1300 cars, whereas the Cooper 'S' had a special head with not only larger inlet, but also larger exhaust valves; however, these exhaust valves caused many 'S' heads to fail through cracking between the valve seats. The detuned engine was used for reasons of model range placement – with the Cooper 'S' spec engine, the Midget could have been faster than the more expensive MGB. The hydraulic system gained a separate master cylinder for the clutch. The hood was now permanently attached to the car, with an improved mechanism making it much easier to use.
In late 1967 (1968 model year), US-spec cars received several safety additions: a padded fascia (dashboard) with smaller main gauges, collapsible steering column, scissor-type hood hinges, a third windshield wiper, additional side marker lights, and anti-burst door latches.
