MG MIDGET 1972

You are looking at Maggie, my MG Midget that I have owned for 36 years. I fully restored her in the early 1990's replacing all the body work with new steel repair sections as required and the car you see now has not been touched since that restoration showing the soundness of the body. At the same time most of the chrome and fittings, including the speedo where replaced by new original parts. I always wanted her to look standard but have outstanding performance as the details below will show.

ENGINE. Built by Dave Alexander of Aston Engineering Derby, specialists in engine rebuilds for racing classic Aston Martins.

1360cc, 11 stud Cooper S head specification. Strengthened rockers, High lift Kent cam, Unleaded valve conversion. Polished ports. K&N Filter. Oil cooler, 1 3/4"SU carb with gas flowed manifold (best for this engine), Sports exhaust manifold, Omega pistons, Competition distributor, balanced crank, con rods and flywheel, Electric fan.

Rear differential from Riley 1.5 giving a high ratio of 3.7/1.

Rebuilt gearbox and new clutch (2020)

High quality handmade Double Duck hood, Full tonneau cover, Roll bar fixed to chassis, Moto Lita steering wheel, Tow bar used for camping trailer (can be removed as no holes in the body). Spare boot lid with no rack ready painted. There are age related marks but they do not show on pictures.

I will happily put 12 months MOT on the car for your peace of mind although it is Tax and MOT exempt.

This is a great opportunity to carry on the enjoyment I have had and to own this great little classic car, still undervalued as classics go. I have moved on to Motorcycles over the past few years and no longer use Maggie. Thanks for your interest, Martin Gee.

PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NOT SELL THIS CAR TO AN OFFER, YOU MUST VIEW THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. I AM HAPPY TO TALK OVER THE PHONE REGARDING ANY DETAILS YOU WISH TO KNOW.
