! ! ! ! ASK TO SEE THE WALK ROUND / DRIVE / UNDERSIDE / DEMO YouTube VIDEO ! ! ! !

A rock solid Midget that’s had more than the asking price invested on it in the last 5 years and despite being exempt it has a brand new, advisory free MOT until Sep 2026, drive it away today.

Before we carry on, please, please, please ask to see the YouTube video, it shows everything including the all important underside, it’s a comprehensive armchair inspection of the car.

1976 MG Midget in good all-round condition with a super solid underside, running and driving absolutely spot on, it’s a really good looker with its Minilite alloys, smooth sporty lines helped by the optional hood down cover, a roll over bar, sporty exhaust back box with a great burble and the very best colour combination for a proper British sports car.

The 1491cc engine was professionally reconditioned in 2023 with the cylinder head adapted for unleaded fuel, pics of the work in the file, it starts very easily and runs well, pulling strongly through all the gears, it stops very well and is steady at speed with no wandering or vagueness of any kind the steering wheel is rock steady and if you press the “go” pedal hard it’s quick at getting up to the speed limit, its sitting on set of nearly new tyres on unmarked alloys and we have just fitted new steering rack gaiters and track rod ends prior to presenting it for its MOT.

Under the bonnet is well presented and tidy, showing signs of the recent investment and regular service, unleaded fuel head conversions, upgraded electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust, oil cooler, electric fuel pump, recent new battery, radiator and thermostat, new hoses and clips, the list goes on, the current owner has invested a huge £5900 on the car during his ownership over the last five years. We have checked all the fluids for correct level and contamination, they are clean and clear. The odometer is showing 21804 miles, assumed 121804, but we can’t confirm.

The interior is tidy, wood finish dash panels and gear knob, everything is intact, no damage to the dash, all the switches, dial’s, clock and gauge’s work correctly, smart steering wheel and very presentable dashboard with a couple of working extra clocks, seat belts fitted, very recent carpet set, it’s a sung place to get comfy for some motoring adventures. A full set of brand new seat covers are included, still boxed and in the boot awaiting fitting, but there’s no rush to swap them.

Both doors, boot and bonnet open, click shut and lock, the windows wind down, the quarter light vents twist, the side lights, head lights, fog light, horn, heater fan, wiper, washers, all work. The hood is virtually brand new, free from any rips, splits or damage and fits snugly, fastening on every pop button, the windows are very clear with no cracks as expected, the hood frame is in very good order, the hood down cover again fits snugly on every fastener.

The paintwork is presentable as can be seen in the pictures, there are imperfections that will be found on just about every panel, bright work is all ok, not new and slightly aged, whilst we are critical of the body finish it is all solid and we have a small video of us doing a magnet test on every panel around the car with no areas showing as filled.

It’s completely solid underneath, the sill’s, floor pans, jacking points, chassis legs are all solid underside showing a couple of small historic repairs with nothing required to be attended to as proved by its new MOT, any inspection welcome.

We have the full current logbook registered 20th Feb 1976, current owner since 2020 and 9 in total, there are masses of invoices from the current ownership detailing huge amounts of mechanical upgrades and refurbishment, its HPI clear and the car is TAX and MOT exempt but will be sold with a new MOT regardless.

Draw out of your boring ISA, get out the picnic hamper and go and enjoy your hard earned savings, you still have a car to sell if you want to cash in later and you will be making memories instead of a pittance of interest.

There are loads of Midgets to pick from, you simply will not find another this well demonstrated, with everything shown to you before you leave the house, nothing hidden and nothing to hide.

A smile every mile on motoring fun days out await one lucky buyer, will it be you ?
