MG MIDGET HERITAGE SHELL. MK1 DRIVELINE, 1098CC For Sale

MG Midget
Very unusual combination of mk1 engine, transmission, mechanicals etc built into a rubber bumper heritage shell
Still fitted with dynamo and positive earth electrical system
built presumably to avoid 1500 engine.
It is not the initial 948cc but the 1098cc engine which was the second engine to be fitted in the mk1s going onto the mk2s
We have not seen a car built in this manner before
If anyone can shed any light on this type of build feel free to contact us
The car is very attractive with mk1 period mods such as wooden rim steering wheel, early heater controls and early style seats
Banjo rear axle and 3 syncro gearbox make up what is essential a mk1 midget fitted inside of a new heritage shell
MOT'd and on the road in regular use
This car will appeal to old school fans of these wonderful mg sports cars
It is shame this little car isn't on a mk1 ID as it would be a very valuable midget
All in all a charming little British sports car with a very bespoke spec on what is essentially a new shell
The paintwork is not perfect on this car, but if it was it would be on for twice the price
You can purchase this car without the worry of having to do a body restoration
100% structurally sound
Original spot weld easily visible
Price drop to make way for new stock


Any questions please call Jon on the details below. He can walk around the car and talk you through anything you would like to know.
Viewing is welcome, please call before hand so we can make sure someone is available to show you the car.
