1976 MG Midget

MG a division of the British Motor Corporation produced just over 225,000 Midgets from 1961 through 1980. The earliest versions or the MK I was essentially a slightly more expensive version of the Austin Healey Sprite using a lot of the same components including engines all the way through the end of production.

Over the years the engines grew from the 948cc with the MK I and ended up with the 1500 CC out of the Triumph spitfire with the MK IV's. These engines produced a whopping 65 HP, they were capable of 100 MPH speeds.

These cars became iconic over time in the vintage race scenes, especially in the UK. The MG Midget Challenge is a series dedicated to the Midget. Today, they are increasingly being restored to a high standard, helped by the excellent availability of parts both new and remanufactured.

The Midget offered here is very special due to the fact that it has been lovingly cared for and driven by the second lady owner since 1980. She bought it from a colleague with just a couple thousand miles and now showing just over 25,000 miles. This MG has never seen a winter, been stored properly and maintained, as it should.

The owner states that back in the 80's someone ran in to the front quarter panel of the car and was repainted. There was no structural damage whatsoever and paint was blended pretty well. There is still quite a bit of original paint on the car and comes with its original soft top that besides the foggy windows is in real good condition. It also has its boot cover and tonneau that fit well with no tears. This car is ready to be enjoyed and is a excellent driver quality car.
