The Midget interior evolved through several trim styles, with three seat designs, multiple colour schemes, and progressive changes to dashboard, door furniture, and trim materials. Identifying the correct specification by chassis number and original colour ensures the right components are supplied, the colour and material combinations changed more frequently than many owners expect.
Trim Colour Schemes
The original factory colour schemes by model year were: 1967 to 1968 Black or Red (both with white piping); 1969 Black with black piping only; 1970 to 1971 Black or Autumn Leaf (mid-brown); 1972 Navy or Autumn Leaf; 1973 Navy or Ochre (yellowish tan); 1974 to 1977 Black or Autumn Leaf; 1978 onward Black or Beige (pale milky brown). Both Black and Autumn Leaf were dropped and then reintroduced during the production run, making it difficult to determine exact colour availability by chassis number alone. MGOC Spares has expanded the range beyond the original factory colours to include Magnolia, Grey, Red, Maroon, Green, and Biscuit.
Trim Kit Contents
Interior trim kits are accurately produced replacements for the original trim liners. Each kit contains all five footwell liners, door liners (plus material to recover the recesses in 1967 to 1969 doors), sill liners, rear quarter liners, and the rear cockpit liner. Sufficient material is also supplied to recover the door cappings, fascia crash rail, B-posts, and to fit behind the joints between the three inner footwell liners. Kits are available for 1967 to 1969 and 1970-onward specifications in the full colour range.
Club-style panel sets with carpeted lower sections and contrasting piping are available as an alternative to the standard vinyl finish.
Seat Covers
Three seat designs were fitted: a non-reclining seat with H-pattern piped backs (1967 to 1968); a horizontally pleated reclining seat (1969 only); and a heat-welded pattern reclining seat (1970 onward through to end of production). Head restraints were introduced during 1970, initially in a D-section profile, changing to a pear-shaped design from late 1977 onward. Seat cover sets, foam cushion sets, diaphragm assemblies, and runner sets are available for all three types. Seat runners differ between the early period (to GAN5-105500) and later, so the chassis number must be quoted.
Club sports reclining seats in leather with heated option are available as a premium upgrade.
Carpet Sets and Soundproofing
Carpet sets are available in Club (standard) and Ultimate Club (premium with bonded soundproofing backing) specifications across the full colour range. Boot carpet is available in two-piece and deluxe three-piece configurations. Separate soundproofing material for fitting beneath the carpets provides a noticeable reduction in road noise and engine heat transmission into the cabin. Carpet adhesive and fixing clip sets complete the installation.
Dashboard and Fascia
The padded crash rail dashboard is covered in vinyl matching the interior trim colour. Burr walnut and carbon fibre veneer overlays are available as a period or contemporary finishing touch, transforming the visual quality of the fascia. Door cappings in matching veneers complete the look for owners seeking a coordinated interior upgrade.
Sun Visors and Seat Belts
Sun visor kits are available for cars where the originals are missing or perished. Seat belts are available in inertia reel, static lap, three-point harness, and four-point harness configurations to suit road use, touring, and competition requirements.
Door Furniture
Door check straps, draught excluder seals, exterior chrome pull handles, interior handles (chrome on early cars, black on later, black plastic on 1500), and lock sets are all available. Matched three-piece lock sets sharing a single key (two doors plus boot) provide a convenient and tidy arrangement for owners renewing worn or non-matching locks. Door latch mechanisms differ between early and late production, the chassis number determines the correct type.
