Vehicle Description
This 1965 MG Midget has that instant appeal of a beautifully-styled
nimble driver's machine. And when you see the investment in this
classic drop-top you'll realize the attraction here is for far more
than its value price.
The 1960s midges had a nice sense of style with clean lines that
were good enough to be shared with Austin Healey. White paint is a
timeless color that makes for a good timeless classic. It's a clean
and complete finish that looks right for a classic that you also
won't hesitate to drive. There's a quality look to this car with
bright chrome bumpers, headlight stone shields, classic badges in
the grille, and an excellent-looking convertible top in a tasteful
black. And the full-length trim does a great job of highlighting
how straight the body panels are. Plus, a European sports car just
looks excellent when sitting on wire wheels with true knock-off
center hubs.
This is a MkII Midget. It was only available for a few years, but
it and that hits a nice sweet-spot in the car's evolution. The
exterior continued to have a classic style, but the interior was
improved for practical drivers. This includes roll-up windows and a
better gauge layout. The story we're told on this one is that it
was sitting in a garage for about a decade, and then the consignor
resurrected it correctly. So while the carpeting and panels have
the clean look of an older restoration, you also have investments
in good fundamentals, like a working heater and the seats fully
adjusting. There are classic pieces like the well-paced gearshift
and Smits gauges, and that's joined by a new sports steering
wheel.
One area that didn't change from the MkI to this MkII was the
motor. And since displacement makes plenty of different on these
lightweight machines, it's nice to see this one upgraded to the
MkIII's larger 1275cc engine with dual SU carburetors. When this
car was resurrected from its slumber, it was given a full
mechanical overhaul. This includes a rebuild of the motor and
four-speed manual transmission. There's also new wiring, a new
stainless steel exhaust, new tires, and new brakes with front
discs. And this has a full receipt file showing the thousands $$$$
invested just in the last few years. That means a clean look to the
motor, and a strong-running nature that makes this nimble Midget
quite fun to drive.
This is the drop-top that's distinct and vintage that also has the
right investment to continue to provide pure driver enjoyment. So
at a price like this, you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call
