Description
1972 MG Midget Mk III 1275cc RWA – Fully Restored – Glacier White
A well-presented and much-loved 1972 MG Midget Mk III finished in its original Glacier White. This is a genuine Round Wheel Arch (RWA) car, owned within the same family since 2014 and by myself since 2015. Always garaged during my ownership and carefully maintained throughout.
In June 2021, the car underwent a comprehensive bare-shell restoration by Fisk & Dailey, a highly regarded classic car body specialist. The car was fully stripped, restored, and repainted to a high standard. While not concours, it presents exceptionally well and is structurally solid, with previous undersealing for added protection.
