Here's a story you won't read every day.  I sold this car here on eBay about a week ago to a man in Tennessee who was the winning bidder at $641.  He sent me the $100 down payment right away, then I received the balance of $541 by money order 3 days later.  He then sent me a note stating that a few hours after he had won the car on eBay, he received bad news from his doctor that he had a medical problem that was not going to resolve.  He told me that he would not be able to work on the car but that his word was his bond and that he had paid for the car even though he knew he'd never be able to do anything with it.  He then said I could give the car away to the backup bidder for free.  I told him that wouldn't be fair to him and that I would relist the car and send him the money that it sells for instead, minus the listing fee.  So, now we're going to sell it again and my faith in people keeping their word is intact.You are bidding on a very original and complete 1975 MG Midget.  I believe it has had 1 repaint in its original yellow color.  A previous owner installed a Weber carb on it, which is a fairly common practice since the original Stromberg carb was impossible to keep tuned properly.  There is rust, as can be seen in the pictures, along with a few rust holes in the floors, but it does not appear to me that any more than patches would be needed, rather than having to replace the entire floor, for example.  The engine would turn over when I got the car about 2 years ago, but I haven't tried it since then.  Being a 1975 model, it has the more desirable higher ratio rearend at either 3.7:1 or 3.9:1 (I'm not sure which) instead of the 4.3:1, resulting in better gas mileage.  It doesn't appear that the car has ever been in an accident.NOTE:  I will replace the right front tire before the car is picked up so that the car will be in rolling condition with all 4 tires holding air.
