Gateway Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1979 MG Midget for
sale in our Indianapolis showroom. This 1979 MG Midget is a three
owner car with 50,539 actual miles on the odometer and is presented
in the original British Racing Green paint with a tan vinyl
interior. It has a new vinyl top with tonneau, new triumph Spitfire
fuel pump, new battery, new brake calipers, brake lines, gas tank,
windshield, and shifter knob. The carburetor has been rebuilt.
Radial tires wrap original 13" MG wheels. The receipts for the
parts are included, as are several maintenance records. The MG
Midget 1500 was produced from 1974 to 1980. Anti-roll bars were
added to assist with handling. The previous A-Series engine was
replaced by the 1493 cc unit from the Triumph Spitfire, coupled to
a modified Morris Marina gearbox with synchromesh on all four
gears. The increased displacement of the new engine produced more
torque, with horsepower being similar to the previous version at
around 65 HP. The increased output combined with taller gear ratios
resulted in faster acceleration (12 seconds 0-60 compared to 13 for
the 1275 cc version) and a top speed of just over 100 mph. This
1979 MG Midget promises classic British sportscar driving fun
whenever the open road calls, and will be perfect for the coming
Autumn and Spring months. To view this 1979 MG Midget, please visit
