Lot 034: 1978 MG MIDGET 1500

Finished in Russet Brown with fawn vinyl upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "all good" (electrical equipment), "very good" (1491cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, interior trim, chassis), "A1" (bodywork), "immaculate" (paintwork) or "new" (wheels / tyres) condition. Stated to have covered just 34,400 miles from new, the past six months have apparently seen 'TMU 654S' benefit from "a new hood, hood cover and tonneau" as well as "new minilite wheels and tyres". While at 33,000 miles, the engine was reportedly removed and the car treated to the following: "balanced crankshaft / flywheel, new clutch, unleaded conversion, new oil cooler, clutch / brake master cylinders, branch manifold, free flow exhaust and new springs / dampers". Reputedly featured in the "Great Marques MG" book (published in 1988), the roadster is said to "just need driving". An enticing prospect, this "mint" Midget is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until March 24th 2007 and road tax until March 2007.
