Description
Showing only 79,437 miles; affordable British
sports-car fun powered by the desirable
1275cc engine and a manual gearbox; the current V5C showing eight former
keepers
First registered in August 1969, this MG Midget
presents well in its classic combination of green paintwork, black hood, and
black interior, capturing everything people love about this iconic slice of
British open-top motoring. Fitted with the
desirable 1275cc engine and manual gearbox, it offers the lively, engaging
driving experience that made the Midget such a favorite among enthusiasts of
lightweight sports cars.
Sitting nicely on a set of wire wheels, it has
all the right visual touches too. It is now showing only 79,437 miles, a very
reasonable figure for a car of this age.
The MG Midget itself has a rich and
much-loved history. Introduced in 1961 as
a sister car to the Austin-Healey Sprite, it evolved through
several generations, with the 1275cc version widely regarded as the sweet spot
of the range. Light, simple, and famously nimble, the Midget became a symbol of
affordable British sports-car fun, offering spirited
performance and sharp handling in a compact package. Today it remains one of the
most accessible and enjoyable ways into classic motoring, supported by excellent
parts availability and a strong enthusiast community for MG
classics.
The
paperwork includes the current V5C showing eight former keepers, along with
eight old MOT certificates and a collection of maintenance and repair invoices
covering the period 2014 to 2023, giving a reassuring picture of ongoing care
over the last decade.
A charming and honest example of the
ever-popular MG Midget, ready to be
enjoyed on sunny days and winding B-roads.
