Nah. The Midget is a '29, I think I've seen a picture of it. While
the M Types were the first small, and first truely successful MG's,
there were several series preceeding them, starting in '23.
(MKII, III, IV, 14/28, 14/40, 18/80, etc.)

Does anyone know if there's still a "C Type" Midget in the Ford Dearborn
museum?
