The small two-seater sports car that was produced by MG from 1961-1980 was a revived name that had been used on earlier models like the M-type, D-type and J-type. The first versions of the Midget were a slightly more expensive version of the Austin Healey Sprite. Mechanically the car was identical down to the rear suspension.
The later versions became a little larger and increasingly larger engines were added with more power. By the last of the Midgets, the 1974-1980 models were just known as the 1500 series with the name derived by displacement of the engine. Producing a whopping 65 Horsepower it could push the small in stature automobile to just over 100 MPH.
This fantastic little car we are pleased to present is very respectable to the eyes and even more respectable in the mechanical sense. Having had nearly $5000 worth of Mechanical work done with receipts in the last two years and just several miles. It has also had two new front seats. The paint is fading in some spots but still shows very well. The underside is very solid with no evidence of rust or rot with newer suspension parts evident. This sweet little Midget starts perfectly and goes down the road very good. Top is like new and also comes with a tonneau cover.
