Boy am I glad you got both. I hadn't had a chance to chime in but you
didn't get a very good hearing from us Midget owners. The Midget is a
great car. The 1500 engine is very strong and reliable (at least mine
is). The ZS carb is a piece of crap but then again so is the ZS on a
later B. My personal preference is the rubber bumpered Midgets look
better than the chrome bumpered ones. Also Midgets are far less prone to
rusting than a B. In addition the Midget will out corner any stock B ever
made. Won't out run them but will more than make up for it in the
twisties. I much prefer the Midget to a tank like an MGB.
