Vehicle Description
This 1979 MG Midget is a sharp-looking drop-top classic with a
distinct color combo and quite a desirable history. So it makes for
a driver-ready classic that's ready to be an impressive and
affordable sunny day friend.
This car is coming off 30 years of long-term care, and in fact,
it's only a two-owner car. The low odometer is even likely to
reflect the original mileage because it was last sold on an actual
miles title. It's this level of care that also gives you such an
attractive car today. The Russet brown paint is factory-correct,
and it continues to have a radiant look today thanks to an
investment in a quality respray. These Midgets have kept their
appeal because their small size doesn't mean they missed out on
style. The taller fenders that let both the hood and the trunk dip
below are the kind of sleek lines that we love on a classic
European. And there are good details, like how the Rostyle wheels,
black rocker trim, and the nice-fitting black roof all go well with
the clean rubber bumpers.
The interior is a nice harmonizing color with the exterior brown,
and it all gives the right 1970s earth-tone vibe. So it makes for
an attractive and truly classic sense of style. MG understands
small cars, and so the interior was built to feel good with
high-back bucket seats and good legroom. There are even nice
vintage details like the classic AM radio and a racing-style
tonneau. Plus, the grippy steering wheel, well-placed shifter, and
crisp Smiths gauges remind you this is a car made for driving.
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 a quicker car with an entertaining
performance. The engine bay has an extra-tidy appearance that
reminds you of this car's quality care. And the way it fires up and
runs reaffirms the feeling of a well-respected life thus far. The
setup is specifically built for you to take advantage of the
fully-synchronized four-speed gearbox and get the most out of this
motor. The light body weight, independent front suspension, and
front disc brakes all contribute to the sporting attitude.
This car has been treated as something special, and so you also get
plenty of paperwork you don't see on many others. This includes the
dealer invoice, original window sticker, warranty card, owner's
manual, service manuals, and more. There was a lot of big love that
went into this small Midget, and that's what makes it an
irresistible classic. Call today!!!
