Vehicle Description
This 1977 MG Midget gets the idea right. It continues to offer the
same affordable drop-top and easy driver fun that has been part of
its appeal since the beginning. And now that it's a true classic,
you can also appreciate how the good care and good paperwork make
it an attractive vintage machine.
You want a classic like this to represent its era correctly, and so
we're happy to see the factory-correct Sandglow paint. Good body
lines, a rear luggage rack, and Rostyle wheels get the British MG
look just right. Plus, the black folding top looks good. And when
you combine that with the black bumpers and black rockers, this
looks like it has a well-coordinated two-tone. It's a total package
that looks good but is also easy to enjoy out on the road, because
after all, you buy an MG to enjoy the drive.
The Midget does a good job of being small/nimble in dimensions, but
still providing the right full-sized features. For example, the
bucket seats are high-back units that offer individual space, and
your right hand will love resting on the ideally placed shifter.
You may want to update the steering wheel or other details, but the
little things really prove one is a thoughtful total setup. It's in
the way the seat piping unites the black and tan of the interior.
And the AM/FM/CD stereo gives you modern tunes in your vintage
European convertible.
These final generation Midgets received the largest motor ever
available to these sprightly MGs. The 1493 cc inline-four under the
hood produced more torque than the earlier 1275 cc unit, which now
made it better suited to American tastes. Add this to better
gearing, and this was an improved lightweight car with an
entertaining performance. This motor was given newer items like the
valve cover gasket, plugs, and other maintenance items to keep it a
strong runner. It even has an updated aluminum intake and a Weber
carburetor. And the best part of the Midget is the feeling of
control that comes from the combination of the four-speed gearbox,
direct nimble steering, and front disc brakes.
This sale comes complete with the kind of paperwork you don't often
see on these MGs. It includes the original bill of sale, service
manuals, maintenance records, and the dealer invoice that shows
this has been a southern drop-top. There's even a car cover so you
can properly tuck it in at night after a day's driving. This MG is
a lot of fun for one of the most affordable prices you'll find on a
classic British convertible. Call today!!!
