 Not wanting to arm the war but why would anybody buy an MG with a
 Triumph engine?
 Would you buy a Chevy if it had a Ford engine?
 Would you buy a Rolls Royce with a VW engine....Never mind now that VW
 owns RR.

Not wanting to escalate the war (but I better get in early) but I hope you 
realize the 1500 Midget was the first series of Midgets that was able to 
break 100 MPH as a new production car.  The A series cars could get close...
Please don't start saying that "My 1275 goes 150 MPH."  That's not what I 
said.  When your car came out of the factory, it was butterknife tuned and 
underpowered.  The 1500 just had a bit more HP to overcome the butterknife 
tune.
