These Pictures are not all My William, Ok Here is my William.. :-) oh the first Midget at
the top of the page was too... Giggle..
Other Midgets :-))
The Midget Mk II had continued to sell until late 1965, when the Mk III model was introduced. Once again, the engine
had been enlarged - this time it had the 1275cc A-series unit developed from the one used in the Mini Cooper S. This
produced 65bhp and could propel the little car to speeds in the mid 90's.
In 1968, the Sprite version of the Midget Mk III (a Sprite MK IV) was dropped from the range leaving the Midget to
continue along, which it did for some years. The 1275 Midget continued to sell well and had generated a loyal
following, but since its nearest competitior was the Triumph Spitfire, many expected one of the cars to be dropped
but neither were to get the chop - yet.
In 1972, the Midget received further styling changes, among them a new style of sculpted steel wheel, known as
Rostyles. Also, at this point the rear wheel arches lost their squared off tops, becoming fully radiused. It was at
this time that MG was facing increased work load to ensure that the cars met the increasingly strict environmental
and safety regulations that were being implemented in the export markets, and in particular the USA. This work was
such that it severely restricted the resources available for the development of new models. In the long term
it was to be the eventual downfall of the MG.

The MG Midget Mk III
Although there were no really obvious changes to the appearance of the car, there were minor ones. Perhaps one of the
most important of these was the addition of a folding soft top, which replaced the one which had to be fully
removed to be stowed.
