MG Midget Engines and Transmissions

Each MG Midget engine in this generation is a gasoline unit with a manual transmission and a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. Selected examples include the 1.1 MT, 1.3 MT, and 1.5 MT Roadsters, so you can pick a lighter powertrain or extra displacement for easier open-road work.
