The MG Midget and its platform twin, the Austin Healey Sprite, are the definitive British Roadsters. TIny, underpowered, and only occasionally reliable, the Midget really does ask the most of an owner. It's not hard to understand why Mazda, in the 1980's, said ,"Can't we just make something like the Midget, but that works?" Before giving us the Miata.
