Vehicle Description
The 1971 MG Midget RWD is a classic British sports car that embodies the lightweight, fun-to-drive character of MG’s small roadsters. Known for its agility, simple design, and low-cost entry into the world of sports cars, the 1971 Midget is a beloved choice for vintage car enthusiasts or anyone looking for a project car that offers classic roadster vibes.
Engine: 1.1L (1,098 cc) inline 4-cylinder engine
Horsepower: Around 56 hp
Torque: About 63 lb-ft
Transmission: 4-speed manual transmission
Drive Type: Rear-wheel drive (RWD), which adds to the fun and engaging driving experience.
Top Speed: Around 90 mph, which was decent for its time, and it’s still a fun experience for classic car lovers.
0-60 mph Time: Roughly 16-18 seconds, which shows how much technology has progressed since then, but this was pretty typical for a small, lightweight car like the Midget in the '70s.
Exterior: The Midget has a compact, simple design that’s easy to love—small body dimensions with round headlights and a low-slung profile. The 1971 model continued the iconic look, with chrome bumpers and a simple yet functional design.
Interior: Inside, the Midget is all about simplicity. It has a minimalistic dashboard, simple gauges, and basic controls. The car seats two, and while there’s not a ton of space, it’s part of the appeal for those who appreciate the raw, unrefined feel of classic sports cars. It has basic upholstery, and while it's not luxurious, it's functional.
Ride Comfort: The MG Midget is built for handling rather than comfort. The small size and rear-wheel-drive layout make it nimble and fun to drive, especially on winding roads. However, it’s a rougher ride than modern cars, and it's best suited for those who enjoy a more connected, visceral driving experience.
Convertible Top: Most Midgets, including the 1971 model, are convertibles, offering an open-air driving experience that makes this car a joy on sunny days.
Fun to drive: The lightweight, rear-wheel-drive layout and peppy little engine make the Midget a blast to drive, especially in tight, twisty conditions.
Affordable classic car: The Midget is often considered one of the more affordable ways to get into classic car ownership, both in terms of purchase price and maintenance.
Easy to work on: The relatively simple mechanical setup makes it a popular car for those who enjoy tinkering or working on their own vehicles. There’s a strong community of enthusiasts who restore and maintain these cars.
Compact and nimble: Its small size means it’s easy to maneuver and park, making it ideal for city driving or just cruising around.
The 1971 MG Midget RWD is a classic, light, and agile roadster that appeals to those who love vintage sports cars with minimalistic design and a strong driving connection.
