Midget Mk I, Mk II, Mk III and 1500

The MG Midget Mk I through Mk III and the later 1500, produced from 1961 to 1979, encapsulate the essence of lightweight British sports car motoring. Offered exclusively as a nimble two-seat roadster, the Midget evolved through a series of four-cylinder engines—from the original 948 cc unit up to the torquey 1493 cc “1500” powerplant. With its compact dimensions, precise handling, and open-top thrills, the Midget delivers an engaging drive that’s both accessible and character-filled. Its simple, charming design and affordable performance made it a staple of sixties and seventies motoring, and it remains a beloved classic among enthusiasts.
