A Few of Our One Million Instagram Followers Show Us Their Cars

Max says his Midget was purchased off Facebook Marketplace for next to nothing when he was 12 years old. It wasn’t running; in fact, nothing on the car worked at all. Now Max knows the car inside and out, and it’s fully street legal. The car has competed in a Lemons rally, bringing home an award.

“I learned how to drive stick in this thing, and it is a great little car . . . This car also helped bring me closer to my grandfather, who knows his stuff on these cars as he has owned a few.”

The MG Car Company is a British car company that mainly produced rebodied Morris models before it incorporated into its own identity on July 21, 1930. The MG Midget first arrived in 1961 as essentially a rebadged Austin-Healey Sprite. Over the years, evolutions in powertrain, exterior design, and structural rigidity would sprinkle into the Midget’s package. The last of 73,899 Midgets was made on December 7, 1979.
