I was up near Manchester airport this morning and the coach I was on was following a little British racing green car that looked like a MG Midget from behind and a Triumph Spitfire from the front, Anyone know what it could of been?

what about a MK1 spitfire the one with the fins on the rear wing

It was really small, like a Midget,

mini marcos?!!

Maybe a midget with a sebring bonnet (or one of the many other f/g bonnets you can/could get with names like monza, ashley, lenham).

Something like one of these?

It definatley was not a marcos, In My garage days I have worked on all the old little sporty jobs "poxy things"and the rear of this was definatley Midgety.
It was open top and as we overtook it I had a "what the" moment and it has been bugging me since. Oh well perhaps someone else in the Manchester area will spot it.
