Seller's comments about 1972' MG Midget

Sadly, we’re offering our 1972 MG Midget for sale as a project car—something we never expected to do so soon. It’s a charming little classic with plenty of potential, but it now needs an enthusiast with welding skills to bring it back to the road.We purchased the car at the Manor Park Classics October Auction 2025 for £6, 440, and their original listing (with photos and a driving video) is still available to view here Lot 202 - 1972 MG Midget 1275. Between 2014–2017 the car received £7, 743 of investment, and it comes with a substantial history file.We started to refresh the interior with new carpets. Once the seats and trim were removed, we discovered that both floor pans needed replacing, along with the driver’s side inner and outer sills. We ordered new floor pans and both inner and outer sills for both sides, and then—wrongly, in hindsight—sent the car to a local welder for repair. After spending £1, 500, the driver’s side sill and floor pan were replaced, and the passenger floor pan was removed, but the work was not completed and to a standard that we were expecting. At this point we’ve had to accept that it’s no longer a viable project for us personally, and that someone with the right skills and enthusiasm would be better suited to finishing it properly. There is still great potential in this car to be realised.The car does start and drive well, and a great deal has been spent on it over the years—just not always in the areas it needed most recently.It’s being sold strictly as a project. Included are the new passenger floor pan, inner and outer sills, a full set of new carpets, and new black interior trim panels. The interior is currently removed, the exhaust is off the car, and the passenger floor pan has been cut out.All in, the car now owes us around close on £9k since late October.We’re more than happy to answer any questions and provide as many photos or videos as you need.We also have a local transporter that can help with delivery if needed.Documents:MOT Documents:2020 : 46, 648 Miles2017 : 45, 754 Miles2016 : 45, 635 Miles2015 : 44, 908 Miles2014 : 44, 079 Miles2010 : 44, 004 Miles2008 : 43, 903 Miles2007 : 42, 431 Miles2006 : 38, 006 Miles2005 : 31, 340 Miles2004 : 30, 894 Miles2003 : 30, 220 Miles2002 : 29, 470 Miles2001 : 28, 627 Miles2000 : 27, 705 Miles1999 : 25, 165 Miles1998 : 23, 773 Miles1997 : 22, 531 Miles1996 : 21, 393 MilesInvoice Documents:02. 09. 2024 : £7. 95 - MGB Hive27. 05. 2024 : £44. 69 - Chase MG Parts Store10. 04. 2024 : £13. 45 - MGB Hive22. 03. 2024 : £32. 90 - MGB Hive20. 03. 2024 : £20. 00 - Stewartry Tyres Limited08. 05. 2017 : £30. 00 - Moss Europe06. 05. 2047 : £398. 30 - Moss Europe04. 05. 2017 : £104. 17 - Moss Europe04. 05. 2017 : £91. 89 - Moss Europe28. 04. 2017 : £67. 73 - Moss Europe06. 04. 2017 : £98. 28 - Autopaint Bolton Ltd29. 03. 2017 : £55. 95 - Midland Sports27. 03. 2017 : £61. 18 - Thunderman Designs Ltd27. 08. 2016 : £88. 29 - Moss Europe27. 08. 2016 : £266. 63 - Moss Europe30. 10. 2015 : £2. 33 - Moss Europe28. 08. 2015 : £31. 35 - Moss Europe28. 08. 2015 : £3. 50 - Moss Europe14. 08. 2015 : £2. 90 - Moss Europe02. 08. 2015 : £26. 95 - Opie Oils Limited10. 07. 2015 : £5. 69 - Moss Europe08. 07. 2015 : £28. 32 - Whybee Limited13. 06. 2015 : £2. 31 - Moss Europe11. 06. 2015 : £63. 92 - Moss Europe21. 05. 2015 : £32. 40 - Autopaint Bolton Ltd11. 05. 2015 : £31. 15 - Moss Europe15. 04. 2015 : £3. 22 - Moss Europe26. 03. 2015 : £13. 01 - Moss Europe20. 02. 2015 : £13. 96 - Moss Europe11. 02. 2015 : £32. 98 - Moss Europe04. 02. 2015 : £27. 50 - Moss Europe04. 02. 2015 : £27. 50 - Opie Oils Limited24. 01. 2015 : £27. 88 - Moss Europe10. 01. 2015 : £37. 70 - Moss Europe05. 01. 2015 : £89. 95 - Simon BBC05. 01. 2015 : £10. 58 - Moss Europe03. 01. 2015 : £22. 67 - Moss Europe13. 12. 2014 : £63. 61 - Moss Europe13. 12. 2014 : £63. 09 - Moss Europe11. 12. 2014 : £12. 99 - Historic Car Parts11. 12. 2014 : £31. 50 - MG Parts11. 12. 2024 : £235. 00 - A&B Cylinder Heads11. 12. 2014 : £66. 60 - NC Ltd11. 12. 2014 : £14. 17 - MSE Performance04. 12. 2014 : £303. 31 - Moss Europe04. 12. 2014 : £7. 66 - Moss Europe04. 12. 2014 : £120. 00 - Moss Europe04. 12. 2014 : £29. 16 - Maccess02. 12. 2014 : £40. 62 - Autopaint Bolton Ltd30. 11. 2014 : £55. 00 - Classic Car29. 11. 2014 : £101. 41 - Moss Europe22. 11. 2014 : £63. 92 - Moss Europe05. 09. 2014 : £123. 05 - MGOC Spares02. 09. 2014 : £39. 70 - Moss Europe01. 09. 2014 : £14. 99 - Ebay30. 08. 2014 : £45. 33 - Moss Europe29. 08. 2014 : £23. 94 - Historic Car Parts26. 08. 2014 : £29. 45 - MGOC Spares27. 08. 2014 : £4. 99 - Historic Car Parts27. 08. 2014 : £52. 95 - Matt Lewis11. 08. 2014 : £6. 95 - Ebay07. 08. 2014 : £31. 00 - Ebay17. 07. 20147 : £731. 57 - Moss Europe16. 07. 2014 : £179. 57 - Ears Motorsport15. 07. 2014 : £967. 30 - Moss Europe14. 07. 2014 : £76. 86 - Moss Europe14. 07. 2014 : £4. 20 - Moss Europe12. 07. 2014 : £1. 06 - Moss Europe10. 07. 2014 : £976. 02 - Moss Europe10. 07. 2014 : £53. 65 - MGOC Spares10. 07. 2014 : £37. 38 - Moss Europe01. 07. 2014 : £64. 57 - Moss Europe01. 07. 2014 : £18. 95 - ACC4U27. 06. 2014 : £60. 45 - Moss Europe27. 06. 2014 : £17. 80 - Grove Components27. 06. 2014 : £20. 30 - MGOC Spares20. 06. 2014 : £37. 60 - Moss Europe24. 06. 2014 : £0. 00 - Car Hoods17. 06. 2014 : £13. 45 - Moss Europe16. 06. 2014 : £35. 99 - ATS12. 06. 2014 : £131. 33 - Moss Europe12. 06. 2014 : £106. 90 - MGOC Spares02. 06. 2014 : £53. 38 - Moss Europe31. 05. 2014 : £3. 50 - Moss Europe29. 05. 2014 : £85. 77 - Moss Europe29. 05. 2014 : £17. 24 - Ebay27. 05. 2014 : £30. 50 - Ebay27. 05. 2014 : £27. 00 - Ebay27. 05. 2014 : £61. 50 - Ebay26. 05. 2014 : £19. 00 - Ebay26. 05. 2014 : £6. 20 - Ebay25. 05. 2014 : £1. 99 - Ebay24. 05. 2014 : £9. 30 - Ebay20. 05. 2014 : £89. 96 - Moss Europe24. 05. 2014 : £32. 50 - Paul Copeland20. 05. 2014 : £63. 50 - Moss Europe24. 05. 2014 : £28. 30 - Grove Components23. 05. 2014 : £12. 00 - Ebay21. 05. 2014 : £6. 70 - Ebay21. 05. 2014 : £78. 90 - Ebay18. 05. 2014 : £8. 98 - Ebay13. 05. 2014 : £141. 58 - Moss Europe11. 05. 2014 : £27. 70 - Ebay10. 05. 2014 : £74. 21 - Ebay09. 05. 2014 : £45. 19 - Moss Europe03. 05. 2014 : £79. 20 - Moss Europe01. 05. 2014 : £44. 49 - Manchester Auto Electrical Ltd23. 08. 2011 : £1, 270. 00 - Millennium Autos08. 07. 2010 : £125. 35 - Lloyds Rescue Ltd13. 07. 2007 : £27. 72 - MGOC Spares14. 05. 2007 : £94. 18 - Kennington Motors09. 12. 2006 : £65. 80 - Roy Auto Electrics19. 10. 2006 : £44. 15 - Kennington Motors17. 08. 2006 : £4, 250. 00 - Mike Authers Classic (Car Sold)28. 05. 2005 : £37. 45 - Paul A.
