I have a 1973 MG Midget and am looking to do a complete restore.......I would love to put as much as possible back to the way the car looked when it rolled out of the factory.....I can't seem to find any websites or resources that would give me the specs/parts/look to help guide me. Suggestions? Thanks!

This is about it in the US Suggestion Put up some Photo with your questions about what you think may not be correct - Hard thing is that the same year car may have different Light conf/setup base on where it was to be shipped/sold. Looks like you have a nice one!

Get yourself a copy of Original Sprite and Midget, by Terry Horler.

SpriteSpot has postings of original factory photos...but I believe they are all UK spec cars.

Horler and a Moss catalog.
When you have questions come here and ask. With the exception of California market cars, probably sold in AZ and OR, all US Midgets should have left the factory the same
