Initially, the Mk1 (GAN1) MG Midgets introduced in 1961 retained the drum brakes and 948cc A-series engine from the Frogeye Sprite, albeit in a slightly higher state of tune. But from Motor Show time in 1962 these cars were transformed when they received a 1098cc engine (giving the biggest incremental power increase of any modern Midget) and disc brakes. The car in this video clip is a later (GAN2 or 'Mk1.5') car which has been owned by the same family since 1973 and restored to near-original condition. Look out for the MGA coupe which makes an un-scripted appearance in the 6th minute.

  • I have the same (MK 1) 1962 excellent little car webber carb kit eliminated a lot of problems. The SU's were a real pain. 948cc isnt a speed demon but shes got a bit of zip.Top down windy road...fun.

  • Hey there,lovely car and equally lovely countryside,the perfect environment for the midget,great video.thanks

  • Like it, I have a Mrk 1 GAN 1 Midget also mine is the 948cc same red 1961. They are a rare little car, only took 18 years to restore hrs of fun, and hrs of head under the bonnet to keep the little thing going.

  • good times
