Those are so adorable but only single seats.....Just a little cramped.......I use to have an MG Midget and had alot of fun driving it in the mountains in California....

M. Milt

Do these fall under the "Not Road Legal" category?

If I'm not mistaken they fall in the same category as the kei trucks and must abide by local, state & federal laws for eligibility for street use

Man, I love both of these Midget II's, even has rear flared finders. I notice that it has seat belts for both sides. Still have to wonder why we can't just buy these and drive them without government hassles. Better and safer than any motorcycle.

Larry, you still have my phone#, I am picking up a 72 Beetle next week for a highly modified (street legal) project. Give me a call if you get a chance.

Default Please help Midget 11

Hi All, I'm new here but all the same thanks for letting me join. I am the owner of a midget 11 here in the UK. Just a quick question...does anyone know if the gear cables are the same as a hi-jet or are they unique to the midget 11? Please help as I have snapped a gear cable and cant use my midget!!

ps: larryn2o ... do you have any idea how "green" I am at this moment? A Midget AND a buggy ( nice little buggy btw... I bet it's fun as hell )? Next thing you'll tell me you have a Volkswagon "Thing" also... then I might have to hate you LOL (jk).
