Hi David,
Do you ever feel claustrophobic in the overly-padded environment of a MG
Midget? I drove a '73 MG Midget for a few years and then discovered the
cockpit was filled with all sort of fluff and unnecessary padding (thanks to
the 70's that ruined just about every sports car) when I came to my senses
and restored a Bugeye. Once you go side-curtain, you never go back. SO
much more pure and true to it's origins.
