Every day kit car

I always wanted a Midas.

Never ever got round to it.

A bit of fettling would turn this into a great little car.

Bear in mind that I have the thing on the left, so make your own mind up about my taste.



A really really well developed car for under £700 - it's criminal how little these fetch.

Could be an interesting BEC project

With a little work it could look sort of like a libra.

We have a strange relationship the sylva and me.
I love it dearly, like a dog with a gammy leg.

Anyway, the little Midas.
What a great car. I could go to work in that, do some grass autotests, PCTS, hillclimbs. The lot.

I could even sneak an LPG conversion in there for good measure.

That is really neat - but can any one lend me the £700............and a trailer............and something to tow it with to get it home............

Nice little car but because they use astra lights, they look too much like a vx to me

Not too bad looking, except I really HATE those headlights...

I hate the front end on these, but loved the the Midas Gold. Spoke to a chap on the stand at Stoneleigh and he said the front was changed to make room for the K Series engine, but they are developing a Gold-like front end for it due to lots of customer feedback!

GONE? Anyone we know?

It wasn't me.

On another day though, with slightly better conditions, it would have been, in a flash.
