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.
