Customer CommentsHello Mike, Thank you for your patience concerning the collection of the car. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.Regards, Iain Coles Mike - Just to let you know I had an uneventful trip home (220 Miles finally arriving home at nine. The wife is over the moon we have allready started fighting over who is going to drive the car! Once again thanks very much we are very pleased with PDM 75L-Alun Hi Mike,
Long time I know but only just moved into the PC world.
Bought this Midget from you in Nov 07 and have had a wonderful time with it.
 No major problems just the usual fiddling and fixing which is what it is all about. Really, really pleased. Trust you are well and many thanks for your service. Regards, Mike Hammond Mike, From an Customer living in Spain who flew in to collect the Midget he bought and then drive it straight back again to Spain! Hi Mike , well we are home, we drove some 500 miles since we met up at the airport. I kept the car at a steady 50 MPH and she drove like a dream. At one point we went up a mountain some 1800 meters with snow at the top!!!!!!!! The joys of keeping off the motorways. We were photographed , waved at and people smiled as they passed us or on the odd occasion we passed them. ONE YEAR LATER  I wrote to you thanking you for giving Geraldine and myself the oppertunity
to enjoy the trills of classic car motoring. Since we bought the Midget we
have joined a classic car club, have met a really loverly bunch of people.
We meet up ever 2nd Sunday in the month at our version of the Ace cafe, we
go on rallies once a month, where we all follow a set route and finish at a
resturant for lunch.Twice yearly we go on a much more detailed rally, last September 6 days near Madrid, and drive around in convoy all around the country side. When we all park up it is nice to show off your car to all the very exsited locals who never get the oppertunity to see so many well loved and preserved cars. We are regularly invited to the locl village fiestas, to again show off the cars and get fed and watered as a thanks!!!!The car owners vote once a year for their best car, the midget was voted into 3rd place, behind a Ferrarie and a beautiful Morgan. The club is full of many different cars including 3 E Types AC Cobras etc. I can honestly say their is nothing better than driving fast around the twistty narrow mountain roads keeping up with these bigger cars, they pull away on the straight but I catch them on the bends. As i said before thanks for giving us the chance to enjoy the things I have mentioned. Regards Keith Livesey Hi Mike, Safely home and garaged already, well it is raining. Fuelled and additive undertaken at Milton without a hitch. Will be out again just as soon as the rain abates, meanwhile 'tinkering' in the garage. I will express my thanks to you again more formally, but as the rain is easing I'm off out!!! Thanks Mike, You've now helped me fulfill a lifelong ambition. You made it happen. Very Best Regards Mark Owen |

| Hi Mike -
I see you've had a spate of activity recently too - lots of sales. I'm
pleased that your business does well as you have genuine cars and advertise
honestly.I wish there were more like that! Dear Mike, I just wanted to let you know that my Sprite (MAM646F) is running really well. The only problems which have been easily and cheaply rectified have been a broken plastic door pull, (both replaced with chrome pulls) and a new flasher unit. The engine tends to smoke a little when warming up, but hey, the car is nearly 40 years old! I would reccomend your cars to anyone wanting a a good spridget. Thank you for the car, I will phone Angus tomorrow and sort out delivery. Kind Regards Barry Dear Mike, Re:MAM646F Austin Healey Sprite. The Sprite is still totally reliable, only faults have been minor and easily rectified. The Sprite has been used all year round, the amount of salt on the roads at present has caused a little concern. If you can recall when I collected the Sprite, I asked you, 'Will it make it to France and back?' Well, Linda and I are soon to embark on a trip to the South of France on the 3rd April '09. I am currently preparing the Sprite for the trip, servicing etc. It's no fun laying on freezing concrete greasing suspension,brake and steering points, but it will be worth it to arrive with the roof down in Spring sunshine (hopefully!). I will be keeping a diary with photographs recording our trip in our 40 year old car. If it is of any use to you, I will send you a copy when completed to use as you wish. Malcolm George, P'Boro.  Dear Mike, I can't wait for the nicer weather to arrive so that I can start enjoying my new pride & joy! Thank you so much for your efficient service, very impressive set up, and we both wish you well. With best wishes, Amelia & Peter Hi Mike, Just to let you know that we had a very good journey back to Gloucestershire - no problems at all. Just a few flakes of snow going round the back of Gloucester. You'll be pleased to know that the garage is plenty big enough! Many thanks for your help and advice over the purchase. Hi Mike, Thanks for the invoice. I love the car! Glad I made the decision to purchase. Regards, James Kerr  bought my midget from Mike in June 1999... about 30 years after I owned a TD... It was a long wait for two seat MG motoring again.
The car I bought, a 1970 1275, had been reshelled, but when acquired by Mike needed a little finishing... like a proper re-spray that was completed to the highest of standards.
Since I bought the car it has done all I could have asked... whilst mainly used for fun on good weather days, it has also been toured round France for two weeks at a time and on one of these occasions it included a good dousing on the way to the ferry in a violent rainstorm... it kept purring along!.
The cars are known as the Magic Midget and the signs of envy it generates are continual.... especially for some reason in French Supermarket car parks!!
The car was beautifully presented when I bought it from Mike, minor teething troubles were fixed without delay by Mike, and since then it has been reliable and economical to run.
The only fault that developed was when the relay for the traffic indicators went wrong and a replacement was less than £4. I service it myself each spring and it sails through the MOT. In addition to routine checks on the radiator and oil level, I grease the front suspension every 500 miles as this lengthens the life of the components considerably.
Spare parts are readily available from specialist suppliers, but more routine items like filters, brake shoes etc are often available from you local DIY car Accessory Shops at cheaper prices. (spares cost a fraction of similar items on modern cars)
It really is great fun. just what it was intended for, and I would repeat the whole process (including going back to Mike!!) if I were thinking of buying again.
Martin Hallam Mike
I just thought I should let you know the Frogeye I purchased from you has
just flown through its MOT without any advisory notes. I am pleased to
report I have completed 1500 miles in the last 12 months, some of that flat
out around Goodwood, where it has been twice. What amazes me about the car
is I do not hold back at all on the track and it just goes on regardless. I
have had great fun in the car and next year am planning some more 'full
throttle' challenges.Patrick Warwick Smith Hi Mike, Just a line to say thanks for your time and help during our purchase of the car. Got home with no issues, car got better to drive the nearer i got to home. Again many thanks. Regards, Nick and Jackie Herritty Hi Mike Many thanks for quickly selling my car for me - thanks to you, the process was painless! Thanks for not charging for cleaning the car - the cheque will be in the post tomorrow (Monday) when my wife returns with the chequebook! Best wishes Jon Worrall Hi Mike The car itself is excellent and I am just waiting for better weather to be able to enjoy it fully. Thanks and Regards, Dave Willcock Mike Just thought you might like to know that we went out in the MG today for it's inaugural outing. Hood down, bobble hats on and absolutely loved it. We are in the Midget and Sprite club magazine this week as new members, and got you a mention also. (I can scan it in and sent you a copy if you wish) Thanks very much for the car I am sure we will love it. Thanks for all your help!! Tony & Valda Brown  Dear Mike, I thought that you may like a copy of this photo showing Royal Acknowledgement of a car you supplied! This was at the MG Heritage Festival on Saturday at Windsor Castle. Best wishes, Denis Bowley | |
