Contact us while it lasts !!...RARE find !!!... ....................................................................................................... *1975 MG "Midget" spec's / information : To meet US federal regulations, arge black plastic bumpers (usually called rubber bumpers, espite not actually being rubber) were added to the front and rear and the ride height was increased. The increased ride height affected handling, nd an anti-roll bar was added to help with higher centre of gravity. The A-Series engine was replaced by the 1493 cc unit from the Triumph Spitfire and a modified Morris Marina gearbox with synchromesh on all four gears. The increased displacement of the new engine was better able to cope with the increasing emission regulations. Although the horsepower ratings were similar (65 bhp - home market) the 1493 cc engine produced more torque. The increased output combined with taller gear ratios resulted in faster acceleration (12 seconds 0-60 compared to 13 for the 1275 cc version) and top speed of just over 100 mph. In the US market British Leyland struggled to keep engine power at acceptable levels, s the engines were loaded with air pumps, GR valves and catalytic converters to keep up with new US and California exhaust emission control regulations. The home market's dual SU HS4 carbs were swapped for a single Zenith-Stromberg 150 CD4 unit, nd the power fell to 50 bhp at 5000 RPM and 67 lb-ft of torque at 2500 RPM. The round rear-wheel arches were now square again, o increase the body strength.[4] The last car was made on 7 December 1979, fter 73,899[5] of the last version had been made. The last 500 home-market cars were painted black.
