Over the past few months we’ve had the great pleasure of building the ultimate fast road MG Midget for Andrew Chenery. We’ve built the car for both fast road use and sprints and hill climbs. Starting at the front, we’ve built a 1380cc engine with Swiftune’s SW23 full race camshaft, Omega pistons and single Weber carburettor. Next is the Quaife dog engagement gearbox with Tilton hydraulic clutch release and Helix organic racing clutch. At the back we’ve fitted a Tran-X plate type limited slip differential. The bulkheads have been sealed and we’ve installed a fire extinguisher system, master switch and Tillet bucket seat. We’ve changed all the springs which has dropped it down a little and we’ve set up the geometry on the rear axle. We’ve also changed the steering rack for an early Frogeye type. A works style hardtop, leather bonnet strap and old english white roundels finish off the look.
