Hi at all. I want to introduce myself here on the forum. My real name is Max. I live in Germany and i have a real bad school english ;-) I do my own little business as a graphic designer/typograph (??). Me and my girlfriend are addicted to old cars and Youngtimer (you may say retro cars). Retro Cars - good key word: i read the retro cars magazin for about two years and so i found this site here! I´ll post some pics of our cars from the last three years in ReadesRides. But i hope to get helped by you. My girlfriend Jessi felt in love with an MG Midget last year at a Oldtimer Meet, but it was too expensive for us - so her greatest wish is to own one and work it over. But Midgets aren´t availeble for small money here in Germany, so we thought about buying one in GB. My Problem: Where to search a MG Midget? I just know about AutoTrader.co.uk but don´t know more sites?? In Germany there are few sites for used cars, but i need english ones?! Here´s Jessi´s Love: On this photo you can see one of our dogs and my "male problem area" on the right (white T-Shirt) . I certainly have to do some sports again ;-)

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Hello and welcome! Certainly look out on ebay.co.uk, and the MG Owners Club. You'll have more luck finding one over here than in mainland Europe I'm sure. Good luck with your search, if I see any around I'll certainly let you know... are you looking for a complete restoration project or a restored one? Or something in between?

IMHO the MG Owners Club is fine if you want / own an MGB but otherwise best avoided since they tend to ignore Spridgets

thanks all for the tender welcome You Guys are cool! Your german sounds very funny - i think my english does too. But reading "RetroCars" helps me a lot understanding technical english, cause i know, what the writers wanna explain when i see the pics. *thinking about new business: English-German Lessons for Petrol heads* Thanks for your help. I´ll check all the links. We´re searching a cheap Midget in useable condition, which is complete and driveable. We would prefer an rusty old, but a honest one instead a unloved over-sprayed car with hidden surprises. We´re not looking for "concours d´elegance" !! Our Midget would be primered and racing style. By the way: has anybody a pic of a Midget with 4-Spoke Revos?? I´d like to show Jessi - she can´t imagine these rims on the car *hmmpf-girls*

Hey flyingotto i'll take a few of those lessons, i make a lot of noise about learning german but do very little about it.
Good luck with the midget search, i'd just be ratching* on Ebay if I was you.
* ratching = to dig/search frantically
