Midget rotary onversion
Some information may be different now. Like so many prescription stories, this one starts with a visit to the emergency room. Brian Kraus was driving back from work in his MG Midget when he was rear-ended—the driver was too busy playing with the radio to notice the fully stopped, bright-orange MG. In most cases, this would be the end of a tale; but Brian saw it as an opportunity. Even though Brian and the Midget had gotten off to a rocky start before the accident—the car actually broke down during the initial test drive—he was determined to stick with it. At the time of the accident, the Midget was actually undergoing a rolling restoration; the collision merely sent things off in a more radical direction.

This MG Midget project started project started after it was submerged in a flood very close to being restored. Obviously this would discourage a lot of owners but not this builder. Instead he decide to go in a completely different direction and make a custom track monster. The factory cc engine hp was removed and replaced with a naturally aspirated Mazda 13B street ported rotary engine that produces around horsepower. The uprights, brakes, and rear end are from a Miata.



The MG Experience
This MG Midget looks pretty much stock from the outside, wearing a shade of red that looks factory over cool and correct Rostyle wheels. The roll bar, non-original seats and a few other non-stock details are all subtle enough to avoid unwanted attention too, though the exhaust note from its early RX-7 sourced 12A rotary will be harder to miss. According to the ad, the Weber-equipped engine, trans and rear end have all been rebuilt within the past 6k miles, and it further notes a new custom, mild exhaust, new tires, brakes, soft top, gas tank, fuel pump, suspension, radiator and a good deal more.
