1973 V8 MG Midget Mini Cobra

1973 MG Midget Description

This is an MG that's been in the family for 30 years. The original engine went bad so we made a few modifications. My dad, being a retired A/P aircraft mechanic, worked to engineer the project. Some of the modifications include: A rebuilt 1968 Ford 302 V8 with an Edelbrock cam kit and manifold with Holley 600 CFM 4 bbl carburetor mated to afully rebuiltC4 3 speed automatic with a B&M shift kit. Dash, Interior, and Top fully replaced at time of full restoration and motor rebuild. Front suspension was beefed up and brakes recently redone with new master cylinder, new rear cylinders, and rebuild kit on the front calipers. Car is fitted with wider than stock 13" wheels and upgraded wheel studs. Rear axle is a rebuilt stock 3.90-1 MG Midget unit. This project was completed 25 years ago and still shows quite well. Paint could use a little touch up here and there. Odometer showed 69114 miles at time of restoration but was replaced and now shows only 860 since full rebuild. The car has always been stored indoors in a climate controlled shop.
