Presented in bright red with a detachable hardtop, this charming MG has recently emerged from seven years of dry storage and has undergone a comprehensive recommissioning to return it to fine running order. The vendor informs us that this work included a new fuel tank, copper fuel lines from front to back, a new carburettor kit, breather pipes, a modern electronic ignition conversion and a new ignition barrel and switch. The braking system has been cleaned and flushed with fresh fluid, and a stainless-steel exhaust system has been fitted throughout.

The Midget sits on its original Rostyle wheels, while also supplied are a full chrome bumper conversion kit, a wire wheel conversion kit with spares, and two tonneau covers – one for the hood and one for the whole car. The total expenditure on recent works, including labour, is said to have been in the region of £1,200. A well-sorted and freshly recommissioned example of MG’s perennially popular sports car, ready for immediate enjoyment.

  • Recently recommissioned after long-term dry storage; £1,200 spent on works

  • Supplied with chrome bumper kit, wire wheel conversion set, and tonneau covers
