MG Midget and Sprite General - Spridgets in France

As eluded to in another thread last week, here are a few photos of an Austin Sprite and a Mk3 Midget spotted in a Renault dealership in Normandy.

As I was driving through a small town, I happened to glance into the showroom - as you do - and spotted a Bronze Yellow Spridget.

I stopped to take a photo or two and the owner came out to talk to me. He then told me that he had another one in a storage unit across the road...

Another shot of the Sprite. The prize tag was just over €8000

The Midget appeared to be a '68 or '69 model.

Thats sweet Dave. Whereabouts though, we were over there a few weeks back and saw quiet a few MG's and other classics about. It was drawing close to the Hill Climb at Etretat though so that may have been the reason.

I do like the anthracite wheels against Bronze Yellow - regret not going that way myself really - but wife preferred standard alloy/silver. they both look in good nick.
