Well it’s not something I ever wanted to do, but as I’m starting a new career, it means that I need to thin out my car collection. So, for sale is my MG Midget 1500.

I purchased her a few years ago from an aeronautical engineer who restored classic cars as a hobby, and simply had to many to keep. I looked at various examples before settling for this one. Mechanically she is absolutely spot on! When I first purchased her I had to complete the running in process of the fully rebuilt engine and transmission. This is now been done and I have enjoyed many miles all over the country in her without any problems, having great adventures along the way. She also has a fully stainless steel exhaust system and sounds superb! All of the brakes were overhauled at the same time, with the whole front suspension set up, wishbones etc. being fully polybushed. The underside has been previously undersealed also.

The interior is original and has great patina, with no rips or tears in the seats. In my opinion the body work is what let’s her down as she isn’t perfect, but I wanted something that I wouldn’t be afraid to get out an use. But, as you can see she still presents well. I have lots of history detailing a previous body restoration, complete with photographs and receipts dating back to 1993. I also have MOT history dating back to that same period showing that she covered very little mileage between 1993 and when I bought her in 2017 (I’m talking 500 miles!) I also have recent history of any works I have completed to keep her running sweetly, with any parts required coming from a well known MG specialist in Sussex.

I have always had her parked in a heated & carpeted garage and never driven her in the rain. The hood is not great at all but she will also come with a spare set of good irons complete with header rail, full length tonneau cover in as new conndition and a half tonneau cover. I also have many other spare parts to go with her too!

If you want to know more or have any questions please get in touch. I will be very sad to see her go. Ideally, I’m looking for around £3,850.
