1972 MG Midget
Only 7,700 miles on rebuilt
engine and 57k miles from new; recent new shocks and springs; hard top and soft
top; current owner 8 years; lots of bills; ready to go
First registered in June 1972, this ‘round arch’ Midget
has only covered 56,644 miles from new as evidenced by copies of 20 old MOTs
going right back to 1975 when it had covered 3,760 miles. A good file of
invoices show that much money was spent on the car between 2007 and 2009, the
bills amounting to over £5,300.
This included a full engine rebuild at 48,914 miles with
new high compression pistons, reground crank, new bearings etc; new oil pump;
carbs rebuilt; new brake master cylinder; four new shock absorbers; new rear
springs; new front wings; new door skins; respray plus much else
besides.
Starting promptly and running nicely as we moved it around
for these photos, it showed excellent 60psi oil pressure and has an MOT until
May 2021 with just one minor advisory (‘handbrake has little reserve travel
left’). Supplied with a hard top and a soft top, it has the odd blemish here and
there but nonetheless looks very tempting at the sensible guide price
suggested.
