Part of a private collection for a number of years
Recently fitted with a new petrol tank, two rear springs, and new roof canvas
Advisory-free voluntary MOT valid until October 2027
Good history file
The Appeal
Refined and focused over decades of development, the MG Midget 1500 was the final, and arguably finest, chapter of one of Britain's most cherished sports cars. Powered by a 1,491cc Triumph-derived four-cylinder engine and paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, the Midget continues to offer an accessible and rewarding entry point into classic open-top motoring.
Finished in a striking yellow colour scheme, this Midget 1500 is a fabulous ambassador. Part of a private collection for many years, it's a very well-looked-after machine with an extensive history file and recent investment under its belt, along with a voluntary, advisory-free MOT - not something we see every day for a British sports car from the period!
We reckon this Midget ticks all the boxes, and we're confident it'll attract plenty of well-deserved attention at auction. image.png4.7 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ GST is included in the buyer's fee. GST may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
