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. 1,275cc 4-Cylinder Engine. 5-Speed Manual Trans. Upgraded
to 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 a
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
