Fairly sure they were 4.5" PCD If you fit them, check the nut seat angles are the same or they can come loose.

Be careful, there's a modern metric pitch that's very nearly almost 4" (i.e. not quite and the wheel vibrates)

It didn't take long on Google to establish that the Ford rwd PCD is 108mm and the Mg Midget is 101.6mm. I'm sure you could have done the same.

I'm not at all sure why women like men. We're argumentative, childish, unsociable and extremely unappealing naked. I'm quite grateful they do though.
