    Hi Josh. I'm a 74y/o long time retired mechanic in the uk.
    That series of engine was one of the best ever produced, treat it with love and respect. Between 1960 and 1972 that engine in competition won 32 major rallies around the world, including winning the Monte Carlo rally 3 times. However, changing the Oil Filter is about the worst job on the car but, you have to do it to keep that engine good. I would rate changing the oil filter as harder than cleaning out all that rat crap. The original carb's were twin SU's, simple but brilliant and easiest ever to set up and tune. That twin Weber tells me the car was driven by an enthusiast with a heavy right foot. The rust areas on both front wings were notorious for extreme corrosion, they need a lot of love and care but the car is worthy of it. The roll bar is after-market which again points to being driven by an enthusiast. The front spoiler and amber lights below the front bumper are also after-market (unless the lights were a US spec' item). The hand brake is probably a Fly-Off for rally starts, so if it works in an unusual way don't think it's faulty. Also check carefully around the side jacking points for serious corrosion, they are a weak point. Fun fact for Mrs. Sleeperdude, Small Petrol Tank... If that engine is properly tuned, you should get at least 30mpg even from your smaller US gallon. From a UK gallon which is approx 20% more than US I would expect that engine to give approx 40mpg. She mentioned the tank was only 6 gallon but that will be UK gallons so, maybe 7½ to 8 US gallons. However with that Weber carb' the car was clearly used in a 'sporty' way so that would affect mpg. In good order that car would have been capable of over 100mph with the top down. You should have no problem finding mechanical parts but the trim, the soft top, and the tonneau cover could be difficult. You might need to get them made. The seat trim with the Tan coloured bars could well be original, they did lots of that kind of fancy trim.

    I had a girlfriend that had a MG Midget... I was 6'3" 225 lbs. She was 5'4" 125 lbs. She fit perfectly in it. I looked like Mr. Potato Head when I drove with my head sticking a foot above the windscreen.. It was hilarious, but so much fun to drive in the N. GA mountains~~! Then, the next girlfriend had a Miata.. Same, same thing. Then, I bought me a Porsche 911 Carrera and life has been great... Very comfortable !! I still drive one at 70 years old. Love it !

    What a cool car, glad the white stripe and the luggage rack are still intact.
    It's going to be a great date night car for you and Tosh. I love how genuinely excited you guys get about each car, but this one was another level. Thank you for including us in your Family adventures good and bad. Sorry for the loss of puddin I could see how much it hurt the family to lose her.
    Thank you again for sharing.
    God Bless

    Hey Josh and family, y’all are a big inspiration on my grandson and I. We recently bought a car that is your favorite type. A 1979 Ford Pinto Station Wagon field find, been sitting for 33 years! Lots of deposits full up to the valve cover just like the MG midget…and inside too of course. Engine is stuck and we’re hoping to free it up and do our own “will it start”. Thanks for all the great family entertainment videos, we always look forward to the newest post. Keep up the great work!
    So sorry to hear of y’all’s baby goat passing. The animals are always entertaining too.

    I haven't seen an MG in a long time. A friend of mine drove one in high school, but that's the last time I've seen one. That's cool! Congrats to Mom on her "new" car!! 😎👍 Seeing the rat surprised me too, but I thought there would be a live one especially in all that mess....Wow! But she cleaned up really nice!! Can't wait to see it running and driving! Sad to hear about Puddin😥😥 It's tough losing a pet. R.I.P. Puddin! ❤🐐

    Dear Mrs. Sleeperdude, mad respect, the way you dug into that trunk was great, not only cleaning it out but for finding all of the parts, I think you might have found them all. You win the award for "More than a woman, More than a woman to me" congratulations, you may now take a bow, seriously very nice job on the little Mg. The second most valuable player is Scooter, I loved how he checked every inch of that car and I was hoping he flush out that rat. But I was also afraid he would get ahold it. I use to have a little terrier about twice the size of Scooter and watching him brought back some great memories. Honorable mention Mr. Sleeperdude (Josh) and of course the kids. That car was really, really bad and it was looking much much better at the end. Warning Mom Look out Wa-Wa has her eyes on that one, she got to be turning Drivers Age fairly soon. I wish Miss Obstinate (Squeegy) a very Happy Birthday, you go girl. And lastly and the saddest news of the video, goodbye to Puddin and so sorry for your loss, she was a very cute and way to young to pass, only thing you can figure is that God had a need for the cutest little goat that ever lived. 🙏🐐

    I was born and bought up just a few miles from the MG factory in Abingdon Oxfordshire , a friend did an apprenticeship there , shame production ended in the early 80s, the engine is a BMC A series been around since 1951 until year 2000, could be either a 1275cc or 1500cc , originally fitted with twin S.U carbs ,very simple engines easy to work on .....♥ from the UK .
