Seller's comments about 1979' MG Midget

What a beautiful little car this Midget is – and it comes with a tremendous history file. The car was extensively restored between 2002 and 2008, involving a complete strip-down of the whole car, including bodywork, mechanics, upholstery etc. It was rebuilt with numerous new parts (so no doubt thousands of pounds were spent), whilst retaining as much of the original car as possible. It has been well maintained ever since and is in splendid condition throughout, with only a few age-related blemishes on the bodywork and hardly any wear to the interior which is very smart indeed – black reclining seats with red piping and lovely complimentary dashboard. The black carpets are also very good, as are the door cards. The vinyl hood looks to be brand new and there is a well fitting tonneau cover and hood cover. The boot area is properly painted, so nice and shiny, and the engine bay is nicely detailed – no black underseal here! Likewise, the underside is clean and tidy and structurally very good, and the alloy wheels are in good condition and fitted with quality Yokohama tyres. The cockpit is very comfortable, the car starts and drives well, with plenty of power – no strange noises from the gearbox or axle - and good handling as you would expect from a Midget – great fun, just like a go-kart! The paperwork file includes details and photographs of the rebuild, old registration documents, MOT certificates, workshop manual etc. Comes with MOT certificate to February 2027 and will come newly serviced.
