Showing only 79,437 miles; affordable British
sports-car fun powered by the desirable
1,275cc engine and a manual gearbox; the current V5C showing eight former
keepers
First registered in August 1969, this MG Midget
presents well in its classic combination of green paintwork, black hood, and
black interior, capturing everything people love about this iconic slice of
British open-top motoring. Fitted with the
desirable 1,275cc engine and manual gearbox, it offers the lively, a favorite
among enthusiasts of lightweight sports cars.
Sitting nicely on a set of
wire wheels, it has all the right visual touches too. It is now showing only
79,437 miles, a very reasonable figure for a car of this
age.
The MG
Midget itself has a rich and much-loved history. Introduced in 1961 as
a sister car to the Austin-Healey Sprite, it evolved through
several generations, with the 1275cc version widely regarded as the sweet spot
of the range. Light, simple, and famously nimble, the Midget became a symbol of
affordable British sports-car fun, offering spirited
performance and sharp handling in a compact package. Today it remains one of the
most accessible and enjoyable ways into classic motoring, supported by excellent
parts availability and a strong enthusiast community for MG
classics.
The
paperwork includes the current V5C showing eight former keepers, along with
eight old MOT certificates and a collection of maintenance and repair invoices
covering the period 2014 to 2023, giving a reassuring picture of ongoing care
over the last decade.
Currently not running without an external fuel
supply due to a fuel supply issue, while the pump can be heard its not suppling
fuel to the carburettors, please see the video showing it
running.
A
charming and honest example of the ever-popular MG
Midget.
