Enlighten me please new to MGs, Ive got my eye on a 1966 Midget 1098cc ? in old English white with black leather seats wire wheels and chrome bumpers and a hooking great steering wheel ,I think it looks the dogs !

Hi everyone,got this mad craving for a Midget that wont go away,anybody had one ?

Yeah I don't think that the average motorist has any respect for other peoples vehicles, as already mentioned before I tend to park well out of the way in a corner and the last time it happened to me a I had an old battered white Transit van parked that close to me I couldn't open my drivers door.A ...

Congratulations,looks a nice little F.

Went to the local Post Office this morning and taxed my car,must say I felt a bit naked not getting a tax disc and only a receipt.Anyway got home this evening and checked on the GOV website and it says its MOTd but not taxed,just wondered if the GOV website takes a while to update ?

Thankyou for your advice, I just thought it would be a question of time before a head gasket was required.

Would you advise having the head gasket done even if the car is running ok,prevention better than cure sort of situation ? or wait until the car breaks down at an inconvenient time ? How can you tell if the HG has been done visually ? and is it a possibility that you could be a lucky owner and the c...
