1979 MG MIDGET - £6,200
Experience the charm of open-top British motoring with this 1979 MG Midget 1500 – the final and most refined evolution of a true classic.

This MG Midget is in lovely usable condition, offering that classic ‘wind-in-your-hair’ thrill that only a lightweight British sports car can deliver. The 1500cc engine – borrowed from Triumph – provides a lively, torquey performance perfect for country lanes, weekend runs, or classic car meets. Bodywork presents well for its age, with solid panels, clean sills, and a tidy underside. Paint is very good with just a few age-related marks.

The soft top is in good shape and fits well, keeping you dry when the clouds roll in. Mechanically: Starts on the key and runs smoothly.
