Its gone!!!
My Midget has finally gone. Sold for £670 on the bay yesterday. I was hoping for a bit more but never mind.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Congratulations??
It’s a pity it turn out to be a lemon, don't give up on getting a good one if you really have your heart set on it.
no doubt someone will be on here soon saying -
I've bought an MG!!!!

this plan is flawed right from the start -
you don't make money doing up old cars, they cost a fortune!

I used to get through gearboxes on my midget at such a rate I got a swap down to under 30 minutes. Ran out of places to find midget boxes so started
using moggy boxes instead, which honed my skills further as they lasted about a month!
