Originally finished in Yellow, this 1973 MG Midget is now presented in the striking shade of Carnival Red, paired with a black interior. A highly usable British classic, the car has clearly been well cherished over the years. The vendor informs us it has been in dry storage for the past 26 years, during which time it remained untouched. In the last four weeks, it has undergone recommissioning and is now said to ‘start on the button’, with a brand-new battery fitted to aid reliability.
The Midget comes complete with both its soft-top and a desirable factory hard-top roof. A collection of historic MOTs is included in the file, further supporting its mileage and long-term care. While the car is roadworthy and usable, the vendor honestly notes that it would now benefit from some light cosmetic restoration to bring it back to its best. Nevertheless, this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire an unmolested MG Midget that can be enjoyed as is or improved over time.
The MG Midget has long been admired for its simplicity, agile handling, and classic British charm, making it a favourite among enthusiasts and an ideal entry point into classic car ownership.
In summary:
-
Recently lightly recommissioned following 26 years in dry storage, with new battery fitted
-
Supplied with soft-top, hard-top roof, and a history file including assorted MOTs
-
Offered Without Reserve
