Description
MG Midget, 1500cc, 1979.
I have owned this car for the last three and a half years.
Selling due to buying our first home.
This car has been dry stored for over 20 years of its life (according to the previous owner who owned the car for the 16 years before me). Since moving to our new home it is currently under cover.
The vehicle is still used on sunny days.
This MG midget is a late 1979 vehicle (October registered). It was originally a Pagent or Rivera Blue. It was then repainted by the previous owner to British Racing Green. It still sports its original rubber bumper and Rostyle wheels.
Comes with an original hardtop.
Soft top works fine with only some fraying to the edges.
Tonneau cover for the folded soft top and the tonneau cover for the full car included.

Between myself and the previous owner, there is an extensive amount of paperwork that comes with this vehicle.
The car runs and drives beautifully. When we relocated from Cambridge to Horsham, we drove it 120 miles down the country and it carried out the task effortlessly without fault or flutter.
The price here is £3, 500 ONO.
If you wish to call me, please leave a voicemail letting me know you are interested. I can call you back. This is due to the amount of cold calling I have had of late.
We have enjoyed working on this car and learning every little nook and cranny and quirk. If you are into tinkering, this is most certainly the car for you. Likewise, we have equally enjoyed driving it. This car is so fun to drive and we just love a sunny drive to literally any direction for any amount of time. I will really miss my MG but a new house has forced my hand. I really can’t wait to meet the MG’s new owner and hope he is in capable and loving hands. We have loved this car so so much. I hope you love Francis too! (His name).
