MG Midget 1965
Found another one! Owner is checking to see if he can sell it. A real classic. Has a good amount of body rust but the floors are solid and engine looks good. Will take a lot of work to get this car back to it's original condition. But it's a true gem in the rough. Should know in a few days wheither I can take her home.

MG Midget for sale in NJ
My Birthday is next week. Going to be 33. This might be my birthday present. It is not in perfect condition. Not even close. Has some rust issues. But it is priced right. Going to check it out in person on Monday. "God give me the strength to walk away if it's mess!" But it will be hard to judging by the pictures. What a beaut!

New MG Plans Cause Stir!
Nanjing Auto motive's announcement that they plan to introduce a new MG into the U.S. Market has got the classic MG community abuzz! (A factory is planed in Ardmore, Oklahoma. It will make a new version of the MG TF. A U.S. headquarters will be located in Oklahoma City.) Some classicists are not thrilled about a new TF. (Boring..) I think an updated version of the Midget is the only way to go. Givin the run away success of the New MINI, I think there is a definite demand for a new sporty, smart, little car in the States. Better yet, give it a hybrid engine. If the quality can meet the New MINI I think a New Midget would be the next big (or..a?..little) thing to hit the U.S. car market.

New MG!
"MG to return to the U.S.?
Say what you will about Nanjing Automobile Group's ability to revive the MG brand after picking up MG Rover's assets following the British firm's 2005 implosion, but you have to admit they have they have a firm grasp of the art of leaking information to the press. Following on the heels of last week's leak/rumor/announcement that Nanjing will resume production of MGs at the dormant Longbridge plant in the U.K. comes today's word that the company plans to sell MGs in the U.S., and may even manufacture them in North America...."

Mercedes in Tenafly
Tenafly could be Mercedes capital in New Jersey. They are everywhere! Wolfgangs on County Road sells and fixes them. And another Mercedes Shop is off County (across from Friendy's). Udo's in Tenafly (also on County Rd) always has a few Mercedes parked outside waiting for some attention. It makes me think that instead of getting an MG, maybe I should consider one of these German work horses?

MGB Hillsdale, NJ
I spotted this 'B' while driving my cab. It's in pretty rough shape. Parked in front of garage. Looks like it's being worked on.
