Vehicle Description
This 1973 MG Midget MkIII Roadster is one of the nicest Midgets we
have ever seen. Finished in traditional Bright Red over a Tan
Interior. Powered by a 1,275cc 4-Cylinder Engine and backed by a
5-Speed Manual Transmission. It has been completely restored and
features an upgraded modern electronic ignition system.Built on
August 13, 1973, in Abingdon, England, this fantastic and
difficult-to-find Midget was subject to a full ground-up
restoration to show standards. The body was a rust-free,
accident-free shell which was completely stripped down to bare
metal to be expertly finished and painted. The bodywork and paint
are excellent. The engine is the desirable and more powerful
1,275cc version and was completely rebuilt. The transmission has
been updated to a 5-speed, which really helps these cars at freeway
speeds. The Rostyle wheels and a front anti-roll bar were factory
extras. Electronic ignition and 5-speed Rivergate transmission are
the only modifications. Everything on this car is either new or
rebuilt from the ground up. This car can be driven out of our
showroom today for a fraction of what it cost to build.If you are
looking for a fabulous and fun classic roadster that can be driven,
shown, admired and enjoyed for years to come, this '73 MG Midget is
worthy of consideration. Since the '70s and '80s, the MG Midget has
been the budget sports car of choice and first starter classic of
many. Early models are becoming increasingly rare and values are
rising. As a first classic, the Midget has few peers. Its low
running costs, diminutive size, and small purchase price make it
the perfect car to drive into the world of classic motoring. A
well-sorted example is an absolute blast to drive and its
diminutive shape makes 50mph feel like 150mph.Fortunately, little
has changed over the past 30 years -- the Midget is still a bargain
classic and aficionados consider the round-arch Midgets with chrome
bumpers produced for model years 1972-1974, such as this fine
example, to be the most desirable. The MG Midget can trace its
lineage back to the Austin-Healey Frogeye Sprite, the car which
brought affordable sports car motoring to the British public in
1958. In 1961 the Austin-Healey Sprite Mk2 arrived and with it the
badge-engineered MG Midget -- a better-appointed version that
shared the majority of components with its Austin-Healey
stablemate.For more information on this 1973 MG Midget, or any of
