    Gotta love a Midget! I did my YTS coach work training in the 80's next to an MG garage in West Hampstead 👍🏻

    Great video. Deffo leave those chrome side strips off, they will only rust the shell one day, it just doesn't need them. Look forward to the giants.

      I was considering those for my Mk1 years ago but someone gave me the halo ones, and now I like how they look different from the original headlights (and I like how they upset the anoraks! 😃)

    Must admit I’d remove the bumpers, add a couple of spotlights. Lovely car, saw a few MGs yesterday through the Peak District, always about this time of year 👍

      I defo think it would look cool with or without the bumpers. The over-riders defo have to go tho. 👍
