Description:Auctioneer’s notes: This MG Midget presents a unique opportunity for automotive enthusiasts and collectors. Stored and now retrieved in ‘barn find’ condition, this classic British sports car is ready for a restoration journey. The Vendor stored this Midget along with his TVR (also in the sale) in his wood sheds on the site of his hotel almost 10 years ago and that is where they have stayed in all that time. While time and neglect have taken their toll, this Midget retains its original essence, with its sleek lines and classic features awaiting rejuvenation. Although faded, the red exterior offers a nostalgic glimpse into its former glory. Upon closer inspection, you’ll find the interior awaits a complete restoration. The seats, dashboard, and other components require careful attention to revive their original splendor. With dedication and craftsmanship, this MG Midget has the potential to become a show-stopping classic once again. Mechanically, the car will demand a thorough inspection and restoration/recommissioning of its engine, transmission, suspension, and braking systems. While it may require some effort to restore its former performance, the MG Midget’s lightweight design and nimble handling characteristics promise an engaging and enjoyable driving experience. Whether you are a seasoned restorer seeking a new project or a passionate MG aficionado, this 1972 MG Midget barn find represents a compelling opportunity. Please note that this vehicle is a non-runner, requiring a comprehensive restoration. |
