Thanks Nigel, An MG Midget, but in reality a Sprite, they, " BMC " got several people to come up with a new body style on the Bug-eye platform, Donald Healey's boys did a design and MG did one [ " Sid Enever " ] and this was the result the AH Sprite Mark 2, is the MG Midget Mark 1 this would be an MG Midget Mark 2 or 3, as has wind up windows, and looking at the tonneau a Mark 3, the hood folded down, not removable and stowed in the boot like the previous models. 1275 engine if standard,looks great on the " Minilite " wheels, whether genuine or replica

Saw this Hillman Husky at the rebel Roundup at Pukekohe. It's powered by a flathead V8
