Fantastic to see Clive Thompson’s 1977 MG Midget selected as one of the finalists in the Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership competition, with the winner announced at the NEC Classic Motor Show on 8-10 November 2024.
And what a great backstory too. Known by Clive since 1984, the car was his link to a lost love he met 40 years ago. Reunited with his partner in 2012, he found the car again in 2019 close to being scrapped. Now it’s fully restored to the exact specification as when the couple first met, and still features the engine he rebuilt all those years ago. A proper love story for this much loved classic!
Good luck to Clive and all the other 19 finalists!
