1965 MG Midget MkII
We’re delighted to present this beautifully restored 1965 MG Midget MkII, the result of an exceptional level of care and investment. Acquired by its previous owner in summer 2022, over £32, 000 was subsequently invested in a comprehensive restoration and a series of sympathetic upgrades, with the majority of the work entrusted to renowned Classic Car specialists Kendrick Motors of Llangollen.
Importantly, the restoration is fully documented with detailed invoices and a photographic record, evidencing the standard of work carried out.
Now offered at just £14, 995—a fraction of the total spend—this outstanding example represents truly exceptional value for money.
Exterior:
Finished in Signal Red, this Midget’s bodywork is immaculate, with straight, smooth panels and a deep, high-gloss finish. The brightwork—including the bumpers, mirrors, door handles, light surrounds, grille, light bar, and bonnet fin—presents superbly, all shining with a crisply.
The car sits on a brand-new set of 14" wire wheels with eared spinners, wrapped in Continental EcoContact 6 tyres (155/ 80/ R13T) for a period-correct yet confident ride.
To the rear, a new chrome luggage rack adds both practicality and classic charm.
Over £1, 000 has been spent upgrading the lighting, including a Quicksilver Automotive LED conversion and a pair of period-style Lucas front spotlights, vastly improving night-time visibility.
A new black hood with uncreased, crystal-clear windows and a new hood frame complete the exterior, along with a matching hood cover for open-top days.
Interior
Step inside and you’ll find a cabin that’s both classic and inviting. The interior has been fully retrimmed in black with red piping, including new supportive seats, door cards, and carpets, all fitted to an excellent standard.
Driver-focused details include a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, a full set of LED-backlit green Smiths gauges, new seat belts, and a working heater—creating a perfect balance between period authenticity and modern usability.
The boot area is neatly carpeted and houses a spare wheel, jack, and wrench.
Engine Bay & Mechanical Upgrades
Lift the bonnet and you’ll find a body-coloured, detailed engine bay, clearly maintained with pride. The 1275cc inline-four has been carefully tuned to deliver 65bhp at the wheels, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox.
This setup provides the engaging, agile performance the MG Midget is famous for—quick to rev, eager to corner, and always entertaining.
Summary
This 1965 MG Midget MkII delivers everything you’d expect from a classic British sports car—lightweight handling, charming character, and timeless style—backed by a comprehensive, fully documented restoration and significant mechanical investment.
With over £32, 000 spent and offered today at just £14, 995, this Midget represents remarkable value and is ready to be driven, admired, and enjoyed.
