Honest folks, a 5-speed conversion for the 1500 exists! Go to the following
link: http://www.mgcars.org/frontline/pricelst.htm
Scroll down about halfway, and you will find the following phrase (just above
"HANDLING ACCESSORIES"):
5 Speed kit Complete kit using Ford gearbox. 795.00
Suitable for Midget 1500cc
I have e-mailed them an inquiry on it, but the response is on my computer at
home. I will forward it to anyone who is interested.
