My *FIRST DRIVE* in the MG Midget!! 😃 . . . . 🔥 IT CAUGHT FIRE!! 🔥 🙁

During our time in Northern Ireland we spent the day with Barry and Laura, who were enjoying the sunshine in the super cool MG Midget! 👍
After a walk round the British sports car Barry let me get behind the wheel to experience it for myself, and he revealed how his ownership of the MG got off to a fiery start! 🔥

Great video. Deffo leave those chrome side strips off, they will only rust the shell one day, it just doesn't need them. Look forward to the giants.

Cool wee Midget... Marcus, let Barry know that Holley now do classic car led 7" round headlight units that look like the originals! Cheers. Leigh.

[@marcushayesford]

I was considering those for my Mk1 years ago but someone gave me the halo ones, and now I like how they look different from the original headlights (and I like how they upset the anoraks! 😃)

Cool little car mate, A series in the Midget, same as original Minis, B series in the MGB... Unless it's a V8 MGB then it's a Rover motor 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for the info mate! 👍

[@charlieroberts993]

The engine in the MG Midget is the same as the old mini's, the 4 cylinder A series engine

[@craigorford9932]

Ayy up Marcus and cat,My perents neighbour restores MG’S and old British layland cars,he has done a few old mg cars up and they are ok but sooner have an Old Ford.or an old Rover P5 coupe or 3500 P6

[@marcushayesford]

. . . . Or an old Ford with a 3500 Rover V8! 😃

[@waynehammerton5698]

Absolutely beautiful car that mg midget Marcus did you have to double clutch it to change gear?

[@marcushayesford]

I was able to shift without double clutching Wayne but I was only cruising. 👍

[@waynehammerton5698]

You did well Marcus I had a go in a mate of mine mg midget and was playing some real tunes on the gearbox until I got used to double clutching

[@Bspoke53]

Gotta love a Midget! I did my YTS coach work training in the 80's next to an MG garage in West Hampstead 👍🏻

[@rhyshunter1972]

its an mg 😂😂😂😂😂😂worst car ever invented lol

[@marcushayesford]

Even worse than a Ford???? 🤔

[@alexpanting4177]

By what measure, clearly a guy spouting random nonsense with no idea that the whole British sports car race was started by mg before austin healey then jag and followed by triumph, great cars with timeless elegance

[@gabrielcassidy7913]

Put the chrome back on 🥵🥵

[@marcushayesford]

. . . . remove all the chrome and swap for carbon fibre??? 🤔

[@theoriginalwallace]

@@marcushayesford Trust you, mate 🤣🤣🤣

[@more.power.]

Thank you sharing a piece of English automobile history. Cheers

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for watching mate! 👍

[@alxgu198]

Must admit I’d remove the bumpers, add a couple of spotlights. Lovely car, saw a few MGs yesterday through the Peak District, always about this time of year 👍

[@marcushayesford]

I defo think it would look cool with or without the bumpers. The over-riders defo have to go tho. 👍

[@alxgu198]

@@marcushayesford definitely mate. Your thoughts on the spotlights?

[@davidgerrard8661]

Great effort with the stickers mate 😊

[@marcushayesford]

All down to my subscribers mate. 👍

[@andrewstephen9498]

Hi Marcus. I've got a friend who is selling Ford engines gear box's and over Ford parts if you are interested

[@marcushayesford]

Im desperately trying to get rid of stuff mate not buy more! 😃

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

I don't think the MG community has anoraks.. As an MG fan... I'm just happy to see one move under it's own steam and metal still in the floorpans 🤣🤣 Viva la Metro Turbo lol

[@marcushayesford]

Yes Barry was saying the MG lot are a good bunch. 👍
