I agree with Glen. When I bought my car I was actually looking for an MGB,
but I found a nice Midget with very little rust at a good price. This seemed a
much better deal than any of the B's I had seen. Thinking that I was making a
good compromise, and that my wife would be proud of the money I was "saving", I
settled on the Midget. I have never regretted my decision. I do hope that the
value of these little cars increase so that more of them will be well restored.
It is my impression - but I have little experience, that Midgets may be easier
to restore than B's. Perhaps the more experienced SOL's could voice opinions.
