Indy - We've got a 67 MGB GT for sale, 1800. Delicious car. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-441699193.htm
The MX5 is a great car, over 750,000 sold (the biggest selling 'sports' car). Responsible for cars such as the Z3, Z4, CLK230 and the Boxter to name a few. We just sold a fantastic '06 RS 6 speed. HKS suspension, quality strut bracing and chassis bracing, sports exhaust and a beautifully formed carbon airbox, finished off with two top end Recaro seats. Sounded superb and handled sublimely. Granted the MkI's were the best, but Mazda haven't lost the plot and still produce a superb car.
and a 1275 MG midget that I have owned for 22 years.

Why would someone sell that minter? I do prefer the convertibles but that is a very nice example! The 5-bearing B motors were a great performer if done right and could put out impressive HP and revs, just ask my Bro-in-law!
It wasn't until we'd bought ours that we learned it was considered the best model and while the newer ones have more refinement and go just as well or better, ours is perfect for its role and price and I wouldn't want a new one.

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Why are MG Midgets so costly? I mean compared to B's they seem to cost a packet? I dare say there's a few less of them though.

Partly that but the B wasn't really a good sports car and was built down to a cost which meant it was less than it could or should have been. The Midget/Sprite's were better at what they were intended to be, were instantly popular and remained so ever since. The main reason the B is mow a classic is sheer age and nostalgia for cars of that era.

How do you feel about Austin 7s?
Ummm I also have one of those.

Because they were a basic low fun cost sports car. There are heaps of performance parts available. They had considerable track success and were a great car for private independent drivers. They also usually came with Cooper S motors which is a great wee motor for a sports car. Mine with a moderately worked 1275 will just do 102 mph on the front straight of Rupuna, which is flying for a 45 year old car.
Don't get me wrong B's and GT's are also great cars.
