MG Midget MkI (1961–64). The first version| announced at the end of June 1961| was essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of the MkII Austin-Healey Sprite deluxe version. The original 'frogeye' Sprite had been introduced specifically to fill the gap in the market left by the end of production of the MG T-type Midget as its replacement| the MGA had been a significantly larger and more expensive car with greater performance. Many existing MG buyers turned to the Sprite to provide a modern low-cost sports car and so a badge-engineered MG version reusing the Midget name made sense. The new Midget differed from the Sprite only in grille design| badging| improved interior trim| better instruments and added external polished trim to justify its higher price.. Mechanically the car was identical to its Austin-Healey counterpart| retaining the rear suspension using quarter-elliptic leaf springs and trailing arms from the 'frogeye'. The engine was a 948 cc A-Series with twin SU carburettors producing 46 hp (34 kW) at 5500 rpm and 53 lb·ft (72 N·m) at 3000 rpm. Brakes were 7-inch (178 mm) drums all round. A hard top| heater| radio and luggage rack were available as factory-fitted extras.. In October 1962| the engine was increased to 1098 cc| raising the output to 56 hp (42 kW) at 5500 rpm and 62 lb·ft (84 N·m) at 3250 rpm| and disc brakes replaced the drums at the front. 13x4 Wire spoked wheels became available.. The doors had no external handles or locks and the windows were sliding Perspex side-screens. A heater was an optional extra.. Production was 16|080 of the small-engined version and 9601 of the 1098.. A car with the 948 cc engine was tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1962 and had a top speed of 87.9 mph (141.5 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 18.3 seconds.
