MG Midget MkIII – Heritage Reshell & Stunning
The MG Midget Mk III was introduced in 1966. Improved performance (the A-series engine capacity was increased to 1275cc) and refined interior (including a folding hood mechanism) made the model the perfect entry level sports car for a new generation of appreciative young drivers who wanted affordable performance
Milestone Classics are delighted to market one of the nicest Midgets that you could wish to find. The MG was built as a project by a previous owner who wanted to create his dream Mk III bringing together all the “best bits” from the production run.
A donor car was sourced, and a Heritage body-shell procured (current cost in excess of £10, 500 in primer!). The car was then built to recreate an earlier Mk III car with chrome side trim, chrome grill, chrome bumper/ over-riders and chrome wire wheels.
Panel fit is exceptional and there are absolutely no corrosion issues – see link below to fully appreciate the level of craftsmanship that goes into a new shell.
The exterior was professionally painted in tartan red, interior finished is new black seat covers, with new hood, new carpets and Moto-Lita steering wheel.
Mechanically all components were inspected/ overhauled/ replaced as required. Today the car is a real pleasure to drive with brisk acceleration, characteristic exhaust note and handling that is like steeping back in time – she simply drives like a two year old car.
There is a small history file with the car containing MOT’s/ invoices since the rebuild including re-commissioning in 2017 at a cost in excess of £2, 300
At milestones we have gained an enviable reputation for sourcing exceptional cars and this Midget is one of the best on the market. Available at a fraction of the build costs we recommend early viewing in order to fully appreciate this remarkable car
