MG had always been a sports car brand, but more than that, they had been a brand concerned with size. Unlike their American rivals, MG wasn’t focused on making their designs larger, rather they aimed to do the opposite, going as far as to name their most famous model, “The Midget.”
The Midget was actually not a singular model, but rather a series of similarly styled compact cars that embody MG’s sized down approach. The first Midget came out in 1929, and while this two-seater did feature the sloping lines and set back cabin of most automobiles from that era, it was distinguished by its shrunken proportions.
The Mark III MG Midget was introduced in October 1966 as a 1967 model. It had the same engine as the Mini Cooper S, but detuned, and it could push the boxy little roadster to 60 mph in 14.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of about 94 mph.
The convertible top was finally a folding design instead of something to be dismantled and put in the trunk, and the car sold for $2,174. MG described the Midget as “the smallest real sports car.”

Chicago used to have (some say it still exists - but I beg to differ!) an amazing outdoor
Flea Market, called Maxwell Street. One Sunday morning, I came across a mans table- filled with bound binders filled with stacks of these Black&White images of Chicago buildings. When I asked how he came of these- and what they were/where they were from- he explained that his Father, was a Photographer, for The Citys' (maybe County) Assessors Office- and that these documented exactly "what" was at that particular address.
I guess for "Tax Purposes"?!
The photos showed a certain disregard for the people in them- but VERY clearly show what that era was all about. Sadly - I only picked thru them- buying the ones that I felt had more "interest" at that time(and also- close to a place that I used to work at)...."shoulda/Woulda/coulda"...Man- I just wish I had bought 'em
A L L!!! The fella musta had over 300 of these images, maybe a 1,000.
FYI - Pick Fisheries is still an ongoing business- supplying many of Chicago's Fine restaurants! They (Pick Fisheries) usta occupy the building above The Kennedy Expwy.- that is now "Carnivale!", right where the Hubbards Cave begins- on Fulton.
