Introduction

Who needs excessive power when you have this much personality.
The MG Midget; a charming and affordable British sports car, embodies the essence of classic open-top motoring. A development of the Austin-Healey Sprite, the Midget had already built a reputation for being lightweight, nimble, and fun to drive. By 1970, the model was in its second generation (MKII), featuring improvements in performance and comfort while maintaining its simple, driver-focused character. It was powered by a 1,275cc A-Series engine, producing around 65bhp, which, while modest, was enough to provide lively performance due to the car’s low kerb weight.
With a new body fitted in 2005 by a previous keeper, the car has been used very little since then, covering just over ~1,300 miles in the 20 years since. The Midget comes fresh from around one year ownership with our vendor, it also comes with a current MOT valid until 01.08.2025.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Phil the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Good morning. Sorry that I’ve come late to this and notice that the mot advisory referred to oil misting on the shock absorber. I can’t see that the work on the underside included rectifying this. Or am I missing something? Looks like a lovely example and I’m keen to bid so hope you can reply promptly. Again apologies for being late to this.
Regards,
Colin
Good morning. Has this car been fitted with updated an updated ignition system?
Hi ODB, apologies for the delay in getting you an answer. It’s just Phil is an older generation and not used to computers. Anyway, I’ve just called him and he’s confirmed the car is not electronic ignition. It’s points and they were renewed recently and starts on the button. Cheers, Adam TC
Wondering about rust/general condition. Are there any areas of rust present or general areas of concern that may need addressing at a later date?
Hi ODB, apologies for the delay in getting you an answer. It’s just Phil is an older generation and not used to computers. We had a chat about your question and he said there’s no areas of rust to be concerned about.
What you see in the pictures is what you get and the car has had a new body shell too remember. Please take time to study all the images and videos to make your own mind up. Cheers, Adam TC
