MG Midget 1275cc Round Wheel Arch Chrome Bumper Model for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 62 votes
For sale is my very nice 1973 MG Midget, the more desirable round wheel arch and chrome bumper model.    These two seater sports cars represent a terrific and affordable classic car experience for enjoying the open road. They are small, agile, and provide a great driving experience.   They have a huge following and plentiful, affordable parts supply and strong technical support via the club network.   My MG Midget had been stored off the road for over a year or so by the previous owner and has just been recommissioned/refreshed. Here are some details;

- Chrome bumpers

- 1275cc engine, starts and runs nicely, no engine knocking or smoking. Lovely exhaust note.  

- Good oil pressure, no over heating

- Shiny Vermilion paintwork

- Contrasting dark interior, no seat rips or tears

- Wire wheels with chrome spinners (spare is also a wire wheel)

- Just had a new clutch, clutch bearing, clutch slave cylinder, hose, clutch master cylinder, copper line, fresh clutch fluid

- Just serviced with oil change, oil filter, coolant flush, fan belt, distributor leads

- Many parts recently refurbished and replaced

- New period number plates just fitted

- New front tyres and inner tubes

- New fuel pump just fitted

- Clean boot area with courtesy light

- Vintage RAC and AA front grill badges included

- Fibreglass bonnet and left front wing

- Original drilled, leather clad steering wheel

- Passenger parcel shelf 

- Metal door sill protectors 

- Photos of respray on file from previous owner (I don't known exactly when this was done but estimate it to me around 2015) 

- Detailed and very clean engine bay

- Good door shut lines

- Vinyl soft top and half tonneau

- Just fitted a new copper fuel line and an Armstrong front shock absorber

- Tax exempt. No MOT.  Historic vehicle.  

- Garaged and covered when not in use

 This is of course a 48 year old classic car, it wont be perfect as you would expect, bad bits in my view;

- Some very minor aged related blemishes on paintwork

- Chrome bumpers usable but showing their age with some pitting

- Hood has been repaired (very small tear to rear quarter window), but very usable

- Bottom of rear quarters have been repaired

- Tacho sometimes sticks when car first started (solved by a tap on the glass!)

- The odd rattle and squeak

In summary a nice MG Midget, greater starter classic. Sought after round wheel arches, an appreciating piece of British motoring history. Priced very sensibly to sell. Viewings and inspections very welcome and encouraged.  Photos and video walk around available upon request as well.  The MG is located in Tunbridge Wells, Kent
