One of the iconic sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s, our 1:76 scale MG Midget in a rich green with black interior, black tonneau cover and lots of silver trim. It is registered VRC 475M from 1973. The MG Midget was a British two-seater sports car which MG made at their Abingdon plant in Oxfordshire between 1961 and 1979. It replaced the Austin Healey Sprite and carried over a lot of the same features, apart from the radiator grille, MG badge and trim differences. Mechanically, it remained similar too with rear suspension using quarter-elliptic leaf springs and trailing arms. Brakes were 7-inch drums all round but changed to disc brakes at the front later. Our Mk III model in real life also benefited from improved springs, a stronger engine block and was fitted with larger main bearings. A.
