Today's post includes the least expensive car on Cars Cars and More Cars to date-drumroll please...

And the honor goes to

...this 1979 MG Midget! I found this Midget on Joplin craigslist, here's the link:

Get ready for a shocker. This MG is a complete, "restorable" car for only: $700. That's right, a classic British roadster for less than a grand. Of course, being the hot rodder I am, I immediately thought about swapping the worn stock engine for a turbo'd Chevrolet powerplant out of a mid-2000s Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Those produce roughly 250 hp, around four times the amount of power that the stock engine in this car made. Considering that the asking price on the car is so low, I might not even break the bank doing it.

Unusual for a British Leyland product, the body looks remarkably rot-free and, while the interior looks pretty well thrashed, I would believe that the seller was correct in his assessment that it could be restored...or at least repaired enough to go to a few shows and generate some interest on the street. Best of all, you could pop down the lane to buy a paper in the morning in some vintage tin from the land on which the sun never sets. While you're at it, could you get me some tea and crumpets, gov'ner?
