1971 MG MIDGET - FULLY RESTORED, SO PRETTY, GREAT DRIVER! For Sale
Photos in the car's history file reveal that a total, ground up restoration was completed around September 2002 and since then she has covered less than 3, 000 miles! She has stood the test of time since the restoration with only some minor paint defects here and there. I must stress that none of this minimal cosmetic stuff detracts from this beautiful Midget. She has an MoT until June 2018.
Generally, there are plenty of Spridgets for sale out there in the classic car marketplace. No-one would dispute that. However those up at 7k, 8k and perhaps even more are most unlikely to be a great deal better than mine. Yes, the one you see pictured here in photos taken today. I am asking less than 5k for her.
Still great underneath following restoration, I would do nothing to her other than drive and enjoy! The hood is way better than the basic vinyl example and is - I think - heavy canvas. It's all strong with no damage and no sign of wear apart from the plastic window looking a little milky. This will become clear again with the aid of plastic window cleaner which does actually work.
Oil pressure is very good and she feels fit and tight on the road. Few, I would suggest, can be better than this at my asking price. As ever, I do my utmost to offer quality classics at fair prices. Small margins are the key.
I accept all major debit/ credit cards and a ten per cent deposit is required at the point of sale with the balance due within three days. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
All my classic cars are treated as the equivalent of motoring antiques. This one, for example, is 46-years-old. They cannot be compared to the wife's six-month-old Chelsea tractor and they are bound to come with imperfections, quirks and bits and pieces that will need attention even if it is some time in the future. They do however come with oodles of charm, appeal and are there to be loved like a family pet. If you are new to the classic car scene, then please bear all this in mind. Demand is outstripping supply these days and they don't make the old girls any more. So, make some allowances and drive away with a smile on your face! Thanks for reading, Martin. the details below).
