MG MIDGET 1500 BRITSH SPORTS CAR READY FOR SUMMER

FULL MOT, SERVICED, TONNAEU, DRIVE AWAY & ENJOY
! ! ! ! SEE THE WALK ROUND / DRIVING / DEMO VIDEO ! ! ! !
There are loads of MG’s for sale, some at silly money, some needing hours of work and occasionally a drive away, incredible smart well sorted gem like this one pops up, it’s not to be missed, read on…..
Before we carry on, please, please, please ask to see the YouTube video, it shows everything, a walk round, driving, being driven and a full tour of the all-important underside, it’s a comprehensive armchair inspection of the car for any serious buyer.
1980 MG Midget 1500 in excellent all-round condition with a super solid underside that has never been welded, low recorded miles, stunning bodywork, probably the best one we’ve offered for sale this year, it’s running and driving absolutely spot on and is sold with new MOT showing no advisories.
Has many eye catching additions including “Minilite” type alloy wheels, wood steering wheel, boot luggage rack, wood effect dash and gear knob, serviceable soft top and a full tonneau, we handle a few Midgets and we can assure you this one drive's superb, it’s the bigger engine 1500cc later model with the slightly higher suspension, more power and a much better ride than early models.
It starts very easily and runs very well, pulling strongly through all the gears, it stops well and is steady at speed with no wandering or vagueness of any kind, the steering wheel is rock steady, the slightest movement changing direction, no vagueness or wander and if you press the “go” pedal hard it’s quick at getting up to the speed limit (see video).
The very smart interior has high back seats with headrests, both in good order free from rips or damage, very good carpet set and clean door cards, it’s a sung place to get comfy for some motoring adventures.
Both doors click shut, no slamming, lifting or pushing required, they sit sung into the opening and line up with the panels, the boot and bonnet open, click shut and lock, the windows wind down, the quarter light vents twist, the side lights, head lights, wiper, washers, horn, dash gauges, speedo, rev counter, mileometer all work correctly, it shows just over 52k miles and whilst we cant confirm the overall condition would suggest they are correct.
The paintwork is very presentable, there are a few tiny imperfections that will be found on VERY close inspection but you have to be very picky, the car has a deep shine and all the panels line up a treat.
It’s completely solid underneath, there are no signs of any welding repairs anywhere underneath, the sill’s, floor pans, jacking points, chassis legs are solid, we lift it up with blocks on the sills for the underside inspection (see the video) not many Midget owners dare do that.
Under the bonnet doesn’t disappoint, it’s just as smart as the rest of the car, everything where it should be and all clean and tidy, no breathing from the oil filler cap and running sweetly (see video), signs of recent works including a new radiator, hoses and water pump, all the tyres are in good very order with no slows or leaks, the car is spot on, any inspection welcome.
We have the full logbook, its HPI clear, checked 7th July 2025 with a printout, comes with both sets of keys, an original owners handbook, a few invoices and old MOTS.
Draw out of your boring ISA, get out the picnic hamper and go and enjoy your hard-earned savings, you still have a car to sell if you want to cash in later and you will be making memories instead of a pittance of interest, always buy the best you can afford and your money is well invested.
There are loads of Midgets to pick from, you simply will not find another in this great condition that’s this well demonstrated, with everything shown to you before you leave the house, nothing hidden and nothing to hide.
A summer ready jump in and enjoy Midget that you will enjoy from the outset and it will be greatly admired wherever you take it.
