Delivered to its first owner in March 1980, this Midget 1500 is finished in her original Vermillion Red and comes with a black interior (seats with optional head-rests), black hood and tonneau cover. Walking around the car, we're delighted to say that the bodywork remains in very good condition, testament to 9 years of cherished ownership and less than 3k miles driven in that time; she now shows 74,500miles. The panel gaps are all excellent and the Vermillion paintwork polishes to a beautiful shine, the original rubber bumpers are in excellent condition, free from any scuffs / fading and the lens / glass / rubbers all remain in great condition too. The eagle-eyed will have spotted that this Midget no longer sits on her original Rostyle wheels but now sports a brand new set of 13" Minilite style wheels, with diamond cut lips, new 'MG' crested centre caps, new tyres and adding further to the 'sportier' look the Midget now has a twin-outlet stainless steel back box, which gives nice note on a 'blip' of the throttle.

The wonderfully original feel extends to the interior too. Open the door and you're meet with a smaller leather bound steering wheel, inertia-reel seatbelts with 'MG' stitched shoulder pads, the original seats and carpets are in fantastic condition and to finish things off we've also fully trimmed the boot / cargo area with a bespoke carpet set, covering the spare wheel too. Should you need test the folding soft-top we're happy to say this remains in excellent, 'as new', condition too ...... though naturally we would rather enjoy top-down motoring with the tonneau in place, keeping the classic lines nice and clean.

Mechanically the car is in first class order. Well maintained and used sparingly the engine fires from cold instantly and settles into a smooth idle. Taking her for an extended test drive we're happy to report that she drives fantastically well; she pulls cleanly in all gears and offers light positive steering, brakes well, corners nicely and feels tight with no nasty 'crashing' over the bumps etc.

With the best, show, examples now commanding £12k+ and poorly maintained / resto examples being cost prohibitive to restore finding a nice MG Midget isn't as straight forward as one might think. Well prepared and cherished with a good history file, this Midget is a lovely example, fabulously maintained and well sorted, she's been fully serviced and will come with a fresh 12 month MOT at time of sale and priced competitively, she offers an enthusiast a great way into classic MG ownership, whether it's for shows / high-days / holidays or one that can be enjoyed on a daily basis too.
