1967 MG Midget Mark III from North America - Comments

Without a doubt the most unreliable car anyone in my family has ever owned. Purchased new, within 35,000 miles it had cost more in repairs than it did to purchase.

The best thing I can say about this car is that it is so lightweight, a small child could push it when it broke down. I know this for a fact because I was a small child when my father owned it.

A British car built in the '60's unreliable?

Imagine that...

Sorry to hear it. My '68 gets driven 70 miles a day for my commute, and I just finished an 1100 mile road trip with no problems.

I don't understand the review. Is the poster reviewing the car as it was in 1967 or as it is today? Makes no sense.

I don't understand the review either, I would like one of these little cars and after all they are a classic car now, and have far more character than the modern metal boxes with a wheel at each corner.

I have a 67 Midget - it runs great and works well in this age of high gas prices it is a lot easier to fill up a 7 gallon tank after driving it all week... Bought it for $2500.00 and invested another $3000.00 - besides it is a fun ride!

I have owned my 1967 Midget since high school... It's been about 23 years now... Except for when I took it apart 5 years ago for a total show car restoration job, the car had never seen a tow truck. It has honestly been one of the most reliable and fun cars I have ever owned. It is for these reasons that I can forgive a few drops of oil on the garage floor...

Just wanted to share information about my 1977 MG Midget. I had owned the car for several years when I decided to sell.

I told the buyer I would bring the car to them. Guess what, the car refused to start. I tried everything. After days, I decided the problem was the distributor. So being the machine engineer, I pulled the distributor and proceeded to re-engineer the distributor. I removed the electronics, then took large wood file and filed the round Teflon rotor to a perfectly four sided square, next installed a set of points and condenser from an old Chev. I started and stoped the motor several times, then delivered the car and told the new owner they needed to purchase the new style distribute and high voltage coil.

The new owner loved the car so much, that she wanted me to find her ten more. She bought my brothers and my neighbors. She has completely restored 3 at this time. She is located in just north of millington Tennessee, store called Sc otterville. She has her own mechanic and auto body and paint person.
