Mike Blows is ....
Considering selling my Midge Project, it needs full re-commissioning and most of the wooden panels need to be replaced
Engine turns but haven’t had it running
Chassis seems very solid
Was built in 1990, driven July until 1992 then dry stored until around 2017 - I then got hold of it in 2018
It has been SVA’d and comes with a proper v5 and is on a Q Plate
Really don’t want to sell it this is my 5th kit car and never sold one as ‘unfinished’ before
But right now have very limited time (usual story, new family etc)
So what’s it worth? Anyone interested?
(I really won’t mind just keeping it in the garage until I have more time - but just figured I’d get an opinion on value)
Cheers in advance

Don't forget to tell me when something is no longer for sale, or wanted. Otherwise we end up with 'cobwebs'. JH
If anyone has for sale or wants any of the particular Mk1 Midge bits such as ....
Radiator surround, Windscreen, Brookland racing screens, Dash-top, Narrow chairs Rag-tops, (fabric roofs), side screens tonneau covers etc and whole unfinished builds for spares or completion ..............we can advertise them here.
I currently have some parts including a few suspension and steering bits. Windscreen, mudguard supports, and dash-tops. Some thin 'skinning' aluminium. JH.
The silver Midge (Midge on log book) is also for sale, ideally with the 15" green powder coated wire wheels and splined hubs and spinners.
It's all in Scotland so shipley.com might be useful.

Ken Nichols has Morris Minor bonnets for sale in case anyone wants to do what Ian Redshaw is doing. His address is
Your advert here as they say. Actually it's because I've deleted an offer that is now sold. This message sits hidden behind whatever replaces it and saves me moving everything around each time. Unsold or still wanted items are still here but further down.
I've had a message from John Hiles. It reads:-
Hi Jim
I hope you can point me in the right direction.
I have recently acquired the remains of a Midge Mk1, which looks like it started life as a Spitfire MkIV. The guy I got it from had bought it for the Ford Pinto engine that had been put in it. I have all of the mechanics to put a Spitfire engine and gearbox back in here, but I’m not sure it will be worth it in the end - there are no documents and the Pinto mods further alter the chassis. Can I advertise it either whole or in parts though your site, please?
I cannot say how the car has been stored, apart from the last 3 months, when it has been under a tarp. I think the chassis is sound, but I will double check this tomorrow and get back to you. The differential is the later round flanged type and it has the rear swing spring. I am looking to get back what I paid for it. £300. If there is no interest, I will sell the Midge specific parts separately. For my sins, I am 50% through a Herald rebuild and need a better rear tub than the one I've got.
Many thanks
John

near to Darlington postcode is DL2 2DB.
My number is 07791205106.
I checked the chassis out during a session of under car limbo. I didn't find any problems in the usual spots around the rear suspension. The main rails and Midge extensions felt solid too. The whole thing rolls and steers for easy loading.
