Hi, ya'll, I also put this in "Do you now?", so please ignore the feeling of deja vu! In what years did the Midget 1500 use the 3.7:1 diff? Thans, Baz

I 'think' just when fitted with the Triumph 1500 engine. I believe 1275 Spridgets had the 3.9 final drive.

I have a Haynes manual that says all the 1500s had 3.9 final drives, but I have heard for years that they also came with 3.7. I'd love to know for certain, as getting my hands on one would be groovy!
