Vehicle Description
The MG Midget is a small two-seater sports car produced by MG from
1961 to 1979. It revived a name that had been used on earlier
models such as the MG M-type, MG D-type, MG J-type and MG T-type.
The first version, announced at the end of June, 1961, was
essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of
the MkII Austin-Healey Sprite. The original 'frogeye' Sprite had
been introduced specifically to fill the gap in the market left by
the end of production of the MG T-type Midget as its replacement;
the MGA had been a significantly larger and more expensive car with
greater performance. Many existing MG buyers turned to the Sprite
to provide a modern low-cost sports car and so a badge-engineered
MG version reusing the Midget name made sense. The new Midget
differed from the Sprite only in its grille design, badging, colour
options and having both leather seats and more external chrome trim
as standard to justify its higher purchase price.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1967 MG Midget for
consideration. According to the owner, this vehicle is in all
original condition, he purchased the vehicle from a gentleman that
had the vehicle stored in his garage for over 25 years. The green
exterior paint is in great condition considering the age; the black
interior is also in great shape showing no major rips, tears, holes
or damage. This Midget is powered by a 1275cc 4 cylinder motor that
runs like a top and pairs perfectly with the 4 speed manual
transmission. The 70,XXX miles on the odometer are believed to be
original and correct to the body and the motor. A few extras come
along with this MG, a few are; the original handbook, car cover,
assorted MG/Midget books and a Webber carburetor. This great
running and great looking Midget will not stick around long, please
call or email us today for more information.
