It's a cheap British roadster that's easy to fix and hard to resist. Mark 1 cars built from 1963 have a larger 1098-cc four-cylinder and front disc brakes. The most valuable Midgets are Mark 2s, which in mid-1964 added roll-up door glass and vent windows (instead of the side curtains with sliding Plexiglass in Wanserski's true roadster); a taller, more rounded windshield; and outside door handles. Mark 3s and 4s are easier to find and less expensive, but we prefer the purity of the early cars.

Like Miata only better, legs stretched fully out, room for dog or grocery bags behind seat. Can't recline Miata seat, flat against wall, not at all the same feeling of open space. -Scrunched 5"9".
