Vehicle Description
1977 MG Midget I've owned this car for ~4 months and only driven it
for joyrides to the beach. When I first bought it, I had it freshly
registered, smogged, and inspected by the British Sports Cars
mechanics. What's new from the previous owner: - Exhaust system -
Belts - Hoses - Thermostat - Temp. sensor - Water pump gaskets -
Trunk seal - Headrest covers - Wheel accent rings My new
contributions: - Ignition coil (car idles smoothly @ 8.5k rpm) -
Wiper blades - Clutch master cylinder (& freshly bled clutch line)
- Newly registered & smogged (smogged = tuned carb) - Wheel
alignment - Front right shock absorber mount repaired What's
included: - All paper documents of the car's history since ~2000 -
Hard-top - Convertible soft-top - Tonneau cover (open-top seat
cover) - Brown leather suitcase that buckles onto the rear luggage
rack - Box of small misc. spare parts - 1 qt. of unopened Valvoline
High Zinc 20W-50 oil (the most recommended oil for the car)(I meant
to do a compression test but didn't get around to it) - Spare grill
- Tune-up guide book - Driver's handbook - Moss Motors magazine
parts list I love this little car, but I learned the hard way that
I can't work on a car if I don't have a garage (I live in an
apartment, so it lives on the street). With that being said, I have
a list of things I've wanted to work on: - Heater/defogger doesn't
work (likely a broken fan) - Old e-brake pads (they still work, but
aren't strong) - Loose middle wiper pivot (the car has 3 wipers,
but this middle wiper makes partial contact; simply tighten it from
the inside) - Broken cigarette lighter - Window washers don't work
(likely a dead motor) - No radio antenna = no radio (I covered the
antenna hole with a black rubber plug) - No door keys (need to take
the car to a locksmith) I've owned this car for ~4 months and only
driven it for joyrides to the beach. When I first bought it, I had
it freshly registered, smogged, and inspected by the British Sports
Cars mechanics.
