The fourth series of Midget, still called Mark III featured large black plastic bumpers front and rear and the ride height was increased. The increased ride height impacted handling, and an anti-roll bar was added to help with higher centre of gravity, and the earlier rounded wheelarches were squared for extra strength. The A-Series engine was replaced by the 1493 cc unit from the Triumph Spitfire and a modified Morris Marina gearbox with synchromesh on all four gears.
The increased output combined with taller gear ratios resulted in faster acceleration, (12 seconds 0–60 compared to 13 for the 1275 cc version) and top speed of just over 100 mph.
The last 500 cars were painted black.
