An Exquisite Night-Time MG Start
Filmed on a cold, dark night at around 41°F, Jane is in her 1980 MG Midget wearing black leggings, a black polo neck, a large winter scarf and Calvin Klein kitten-heel sandals.
Starting the MG from cold is never easy. Jane gently works the accelerator, carefully pumping the pedal as she tries to coax the car into life. After a couple of minutes, the engine gives its unmistakable MG sound, but still refuses to catch. Jane applies a little choke and carries on trying. It takes another couple of minutes of cranking and choke adjustment before the MG finally starts.
Jane lets the engine tick over, giving it the occasional light rev to keep it running. The idle grows rougher and rougher as the anticipation builds, until the engine finally splutters out.
Now Jane is trying to restart the MG, but it’s flooded. She keeps at it, pumping the pedal and cranking away. A couple of times the engine catches, only to splutter out again as Jane’s efforts flood it once more.
A truly exceptional night-time MG clip, capturing the whole sequence from a stubborn cold start to the rough idle and flooded restart. You’re right there with Jane in the dark as the tension builds, the engine falters and she keeps trying to bring it back to life. Genuine, immersive and exquisite from beginning to end.
