1972 MG Midget Restomod 302 V8

Description

This is a true car lover's dream... take a light and nimble British classic, drop in a powerful American V8, and make sure the full package is in harmony. So this 1972 MG Midget Restomod has been upgraded to a 302 cubic-inch V8 (it's like dropping in four of the original MG powerhouses!) And the full package also reinforced the chassis, fully upgraded the suspension, added four-wheel disc brakes, and upgraded to a five-speed for proper control. Plus, while this Midget now needs a big cowl hood, cooling louvers, and a real dual exhaust, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how the full package never tries to be overly flashy. It lets its enhanced power and handling do the real talking.

You would almost think that an MG Midget with a V8 would feel like it was shouting, "Sit down, shut up, and hang on!" in a British accent. But this build actually feels more refined than its rowdy recipe would suggest. Sure, it's blindingly quick and exceptionally fun, but there's an overall quality feel to this custom that gives it a premium feel and true confidence on the road. And that's the key to making this much more than just a big motor build. So if you love a thoughtfully done one-of-a-kind, you know this one needs to go home with no one else but you. Call today!!!
