Having sold several cars, I am now in a position to look for something small and fun, like for example a Midget which her indoors would also drive, her being one size up from Sneezy & Doc etc. I am sure that amongst the collective wisdom here someone will point me in the direction of things that are particular to these cars, apart from the usual suspects such as iron moth, smoking engine etc. I have one in mind which was rebuilt a few years back by Oselli so as such has a new shell, so rust shouldn't be a problem, and which, given the money spent, seems an ideal purchase.

fantastic cars, and even if it does have a problem you can still buy every spare you need for it! (unless its a very early example and then you may stuggle on some of the more rare trim bits)

As long as you can fit in it, a Midget has to be one of the easiest cars to run, especially if the rot angle has been taken care of by a re-shell. I suppose I'd want to know who actually did the re-shell, just to make sure it was done properly, but otherwise it sounds like a fairly low-risk buy Smile
