MG Midget Bodyshells - Being Assembled by British Motor Heritage
The answer is all in the production volumes. The MGs were produced in huge numbers, thus the tooling and production costs can be amortized over a much larger number of units to keep the cost down.

We're not talking double or triple the number of MGs vs. Alfas, the production was an order of magnitude greater and that is why the bodyshells are being produced.
