J C Midge plans ?

14 Jan 2012, 4:11pm
Anyone got a set of JC Midge plans ?
I've already a set (free from a magazine maybe 20+ years ago !) of the actual drawings but it's the build instructions I don't have so a link to them on-line, pdf copy etc grateful.

Thanks.

BTW I'm thinking of building on an Austin A40 Devon, Ford 103E or similar chassis ie in style of traditional 1950's special rather than a Herald item.

hi, there is an active club for the Midge called The Midge Owners And Builders Club or MOBC which I am sure will be able to help you. Just google it and you should find it. Best of luck with your build. the concept of these cars is fantastic.

Thanks.

Already tried a posting on the Midge owners site forum but it seems to have virtually died with very little activity over last year. In fact for such a popular vehicle there is very little about them from the build aspect and surprisingly few owners personal web sites. I've got the Burlington full build instuctions but wanted to compare to the Midge before deciding if one method of construction is better than the other.

Do you still need instructions? I have a set from the 80's somewhere. I will try and find them if you do, I could scan them.
