After yesterday’s Mini-based Midas coupé, today we’re looking at its open-topped sister car, the Midas Gold convertible. This one was apparently purchased as a kit back in the day by its original owner but never quite finished. An opportunity for someone! Later Midas models were adapted to take Metro, rather than Mini parts. Note the Ascona/Cavalier rear lights. Snapped at the recent Practical Classics resto show. Bonus view of the coupé in pic 3.

PS Yesterday I mentioned that the Midas was considered to be a more serious and credible product than the average British kit car. One piece of evidence - it featured on the front page of CAR back in 1989.
