MG Midget 1976 1500 NOW SOLD MORE REQUIRED For Sale

Welcome to the sale of this late 76 (30th December 1976) MG Midget 1500. This great little car has it all: excellent paint, excellent interior, excellent underneath and excellent under the bonnet and in the boot.

Residing with the last owner since 1995 (it was a present for the ladies 50th birthday) this car has done less than 5k miles since and only used in the dry and then put back in its heated garage. It is currently showing 82400 miles and the MOT history reflects 79574 in 1997.

When purchased in the late 90s it was sent to be restored to original specification. The extensive (20+) photo record shows that the car was stripped to a shell and completely rebuilt from the bare shell up. No expense was spared to make this the lucky ladies' dream car. She has used it only in the dry since and cherished it. She has only sold it because she can longer drive. At a cost for the bodywork alone at £2400 in 1990s prices this car represents great value for money.

Finihed in 2k Brooklands Green (as original) it is ready to show, It has just been serviced and has a years MOT with no advisories. It has four new quality tyres and the hood is as new. It was only put up in the winter whilst the car was stored. The interior is also stunning, The seats have been finished in black and the carpets present very well.

The resin bumpers are in excellent order. If you wanted to take a project to this level it would surely cost more than the asking price just for the work - that is without buying the car in the first place.

This MG drives as you would expect for a car of this level and the engine sounds very good indeed. With all the bills back to the 90s and photos of work carried out you can be sure that this investment will last for many years to come. These later edition cars are gaining a sound following and with the 1500 cc 4 cylinder they move along very well.

This car is tax and MOT free (but has an MOT for peace of mind).
