It's interesting how that is on a "V" plate yet registered as a Midtec. If it's that old it should be a MK1, so I am guessing somebody might have "renamed" an old Mini. Still, regardless of any DVLA logbook shenanigans it does look like an interesting project

Without the bonnet mods

what is the story on this car Stuart. How old is the pic that you showed.Is the Midtec identical to the midas ie. Quality as good etc. Regards Tog

I don't remember too much about Midtec, I know they made a few MK2's, I believe they were as well made as a Midas, perhaps even heavier.

The owners club are using that photo as an example of a late Midas MK2 http://midasownersclub.co.uk/history/

They did develop the convertible Calico from a Midas that never made it to production.



This car it would seem it has the donor car registration, if it really does say 1979 it will be one of the first Midas to qualify for a free VED in 5 years time, assuming the tax system remains unaltered again. It really should say something like radically altered car in 1991 or something like that IMO.

I notice most historical Midas articles make no mention of Midtec at all. I'm fairly sure illness was the reason the company closed.

thanks for that Stuart
