How depressing ! The originals were small,responsive,classics off the floor.I'm sorry,I'm not seeing what I would expect to carry such a fine label.Back to the drawing board.I agree with the guy mentioning the Austin Healy Sprite,MG had the Midget as their answer to it and it was honorable except for the headlight configuration.Start by smoothing a Midget,then fitting a nice headlight into it.Most importantly keep the dimensions as close as possible to the orig.Bigger is NOT better,small is the key to "FUN".

It looks like a BMW z4. Let's see something really interesting like a new Midget/Frogeye (yes the Frogeye was Healey)get back to MG's roots by making simple, small, fun, revvy, rear wheel drive, go-karts for the road.

That's the only one where i kept track of the results, so I suppose I'm wrong here :) Heh, I only saw one other chop, and it was the W204 coupe, and to my surprise, MB really did just graft the W204 front end to the W203 coupe.

Autoexpress is so inaccurate, I'm sure they'd think your April Fool's prank about Longbridge being reopened to manufacture bikes was legit. Seriously, when has Autoexpress ever had an accurate chop?

Looks good in general I suppose. From what I recall, several of Auto Express' renders are actually fairly accurate (thinking of the new W204-generation coupe which is just a facelifted W203 coupe), although I don't follow them religiously.
