Hi
I am looking for a bodyshell of a mk I midas ?

Geert

Can you remember where you last had it? I'm sure that will help find it.

Not so many Mk1's about but there's lots of Mk2s are you set on an Mk1 there's not a huge difference between them only really the wheel arches, front airdam and bumper

The reason for the MKI is that's the only type of Midas where the frontsubframe is coming from a mini and not metro .
The mini spareparts are better to find and also cheaper in Belgium , I hope what I presume is correct ?

mk 2 also uses a mini front subframe.

Hi
you are 100% sure ,
Geert

I had a mk2 (q319 nya in the photo or rebuild section of forum) it was a mini subframe in the front.

MK 1



MK 2

ok thanks for the reply , so I am looking for a MKI or MK2 with correct V5 where an engine of minimum 1275 cc is mentionned

The Mk1 and Mk2 are based on exactly the same running gear it's just really the interior that's of any significant difference where the Mk2 does use a Metro instrument binnacle as opposed to the mini one. Otherwise it's all just cosmetic differences as I mentioned before. You'll find it a lot easier getting an Mk2.

Are you after an on the road pristine car, or a rebuild project, or something in-between?

If I would find a very very good bodyshell + subframes and without big faults and with a very fast engine .......it would be ok for me , but that will be very difficult I think ???
A 100% perfect race Midas with lot of power would also be perfect !
But only a good bodyshell without subframe and engine is also ok !
Important : The V5 should mentionned at least an engine of minimum 1275 cc .
I would consider every offer !
