The Appeal
The so-called 'RWA' (Round Wheel Arch) Midget is one of the most coveted variants of this iconic British sports car. Fitted with the 1,275cc A-Series engine and retaining the elegant round wheel arches before the later rubber bumper redesign, it represents the Midget at its most classically proportioned. These cars are fantastic fun to drive; a rear-wheel-drive, convertible sibling to the Mini.
This example, finished in Damask Red with a colour-matched interior, has been garaged and looked after by its current owner for the past 15 years. Mechanically, the car has benefited from a thorough programme of recent work encompassing suspension, cooling system, ignition, fuel delivery, clutch, and exhaust components. The bodywork and interior are among the smartest you will find for this model; we'd encourage you to study the photographs to appreciate just how good this car is. This is a well-documented, carefully maintained Midget that appears ready to be enjoyed on the road.image.png1.45 MB
