MG Midget 1500 (1974–80)[edit]

1979 MG Midget 1500

To meet US federal regulations, large black plastic-covered bumpers were added to the front and rear and the ride heights were increased. The increased ride heights affected handling, and anti-roll bars were added to help with the higher centre of gravity. The A-Series engine was replaced by the 1493 ccStandard SC enginefrom theTriumph Spitfire, coupled to a modifiedMorris Marinagearbox with synchromesh on all four gears. The increased displacement of the new engine was better able to cope with the increasing emission regulations. Although the horsepower ratings were similar at 65 hp (48 kW) in home market specifications with twin SU HS4 carbs, the 1493 cc engine produced more torque. The increased output combined with taller gear ratios resulted in faster acceleration (12 seconds 0–60 compared to 13 for the 1275 cc version) and top speed of just over 100 mph.

The last car was made on 7 December 1979, after 73,899 of the last version had been made.[9]The last 500 home-market cars were painted black.
