for sale dahatsu midget ll
thinking about selling my Midget it has 50.000 kilometers on it. upgraded with a 2 inch exhaust & turbo muffler, 12 inch factory mags and a 5 speed OD transmission. come with the 4 speed that i took out also. the truck has a 660 CC motor , it has been tagged and titled for 2 years in Mississippi & insured with Progressive.
asking $5500 can send more photos . http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...2o/use707x.jpg |
ah... i was thinking MG midget coupe.
that's a nice thing, your selling. |

Just for the record;
What kind of FE/MPGs do you get... * around town, 30 MPH? * at 60 MPH, or max speed achievable? ;) And that speed would be...? Model year? Air Conditioner? Cruise control? Radio? :rolleyes: |
guessing I'd say it gets about 45 mpg . i have had it over 70 a few times on the 4 lane . with the 5 speed ,6000 rpm is about 80 mph. the mileage drops at highway speeds. it is happiest running 55 .

Cool , eco-looking vehicle..hope you find a nice person to "adopt" it :thumbup:
P.S. why on Earth did they put the spare right in the middle of the airflow, sort-of-speak...it must be messing with the aerodynamics of the car big time. |
me 2 ,as far as i know there are only a few of these in the US and even less tagged.

OP - have you ever had a flat? I just wondered if you couldn't just pick it up and put a rock under it to change the tire... save weight on the jack and such.
|
how hard is it to get parts?
is it just a single seater? |
Daihatsu Midget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://www.daihatsumidget.co.uk this thing gets according to the manuf. 4l/100km (70MPG imperial~60MPG US) Not bad , I think whoever is interested in buying this could "do it up" a bit and squeeze even better mileage... I was looking at the van version as well, that thing would make a very funky commuter car :D Daihatsu Midget II RHD Jap Imp micro-van SOLD (1997) on Car And Classic UK |
i had a 5 speed mailed from Japan ( express mail 3 days !) so it now has a overdrive 5 speed . this helped the top speed and mileage.It has 1 seat from the factory, i also made an adapter to put in 2 boat seats and belts.
parts are easy , it has the same drive train as a K mini truck. |
I'm still liking the insanely small, enclosed vehicle scene... I've been looking for a mini-truckster or something locally for awhile now. Hopefully it sells for you!
The only downside to getting one of those trucks, for me anyway, is that I can get similar mileage in a larger, potentially more comfortable vehicle. If the engines used in those types of trucks were, for instance, a 3 cylinder CVCC variant, or something similar, that would be much more appealing, since one could easily see 75 MPG plus with them, and it would be hard to beat that with "normal" cars. They'd have a lot more appeal than they currently do, since highway/road space isn't really as much of an issue in the US. Obviously, congestion occurs, but it's not like it is in "developing" countries, and areas which weren't designed for cars, like parts of Italy. |
I need something along this line for a 35 mile, one way, drive to work. Part of it is 65mph 4 lane, but I've gotta get 40+mpg. Will this do it? Is the carb still being wonky? I'm in North Central MS.
|
fixed the carb , the jet was 2 big. 40 mpg is easy , i drive it on hi way 55 for 20 miles to work. it will run 65 OK now that it has the overdrive.
|
price drop ! $4500 obo, need to sell.

Anyway I have been looking to get a 4 or 5sp Daihatsu Move (also called a perudua kanari) transmission imported and I am curious who, where, and how much you got yours for? I have had a great deal of difficulty getting any dice buying a transmission for my Miles daihatsu move clone. My other thread is in the fossil fuel free forum topic Miles ZX40 Thanx Ryan |
sold $2850, cash talks! just enough to turbo my dune buggy .
|
where did you get your hands on one of these??? how does one even import them and get it titled?
congrats on the sale! |
