The Interior
- Roll cage
- Generally good condition
- Plush blue carpeting in good condition
- Gorgeous MG metal and wood steering wheel
- Polished alloy window handles
- Modern Stereo
Sitting down low behind the gorgeous metal and wood steering wheel, with the roll cage at your back you instantly get a feeling of just how fun this car is going to be to drive. The small enclosed cockpit with a myriad of dials and soft blue carpeting further add to the sense that this car was built for driving pleasure.
The seats are soft and comfortable and the dash, door cards and carpets all appear generally in good condition. The interior would benefit from some finishing to bring it up to standard, but we think that once you sit behind the wheel you’ll only want to be out on the road!

The Exterior
With the extensive decals, Navy Blue soft-top and finished in Old English White, this Midget looks fantastic.
The paintwork on all four wheels looks good and whilst the brightwork would benefit from a polish it all still looks good. We noticed a couple of small sections on the soft-top that require attention where it pulls over the frame, but otherwise it’s in good condition including the plastic windows. There is also a hardtop included.
There are a few signs of bubbling on the paintwork as shown in the images as well as an area next to the bonnet and on the drivers side door that require some attention. The car has been kept covered as in the photos and this will be supplied with the car.

The Mechanics
- Extensive invoices for many parts from the previous owner
- Lots of quality aftermarket parts including roll cage and full stainless steel exhaust
The owner tells us that the car runs very well. There is an extensive selection of invoices from the previous owner as detailed above as well as many others for general sundries. As can be seen in the images there are a few areas that would benefit from attention, but we think that this car would make a great project for anyone looking for a unique MG Midget.
Summary
This midget looks fantastic with the racing livery, soft-top, roll cage and Old English White paint job. The interior presents well and with the addition of a few choice upgrades like the steering wheel it will provide a fantastic driving experience for the new owner.
