The MG Midget was produced from 1961 through 1979 with just over 226,000 examples produced. The first series was produced from 1961 through 1964 and is known as the Midget MKI. To bring it quickly to market and to save on development costs, among other reasons, the MG Midget was basically just an Austin-Healey Sprite MKII with MG badging. It was powered by a 948 cc A-series engine with twin SU carburetors. The body was suspended in place by quarter elliptic rear axle found on the original Sprite. The drum brakes were more than adequate to stop to 46 horsepower vehicle. By 1962 an upgraded 1098 cc engine became available which raised horsepower to 56 and torque to 62 foot-pounds. Due to the additional horsepower, the company placed disc brakes on the front to aide in quicker stopping.In total, there were 16,080 vehicles equipped with eh 948 cc engine and 9601 vehicles with the 1098 cc engine.
