An MG That Never Was

Like all car builders, MG produced proposals for new or replacement models as part of their ongoing effort to stay competitive. In the early '70s, MG explored a number of potential replacements for the Midget. Sadly, none were ever approved for production by whatever corporate overlord there was at the time.

One my favorites was a mid-engine study done under the code ADO21. This razor-nosed coupe would have had a 1500cc, transversely mounted four cylinder E-series engine. Like the production Mini of the time, the car would have had interconnected Hydrolastic suspension.
