Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a great example of 1972 MG Midget. Finished in the ever eye-cathcing Bronze Yellow over a black leather interior. Maintenance & History: The car appears to have been restored to a very good standard, with seemingly every facet of this MG Midget has being addressed. Undertaken by both a Master Coppersmith and a trusted local garage, the restoration efforts have breathed new life into this Midget. Accompanied by a comprehensive archive of paperwork, including essential documents like the V5 and a trove of invoices detailing the extensive work performed, this Midget stands as a testament to the dedication of its custodians. The Model: Under the bonnet in the MKIII Midgets lays a 1275cc engine as opposed to the 1099cc lump used in MKII’s and late MKI’s. The 1275 engine in the Midget MKIII is the same as the one issued in the Cooper ‘S’, however, the Midget’s engine is detuned so it does not reach the levels of the more costly Cooper ‘S’. Noteworthy improvements from earlier marks include a separate master cylinder for the clutch and a permanently attached hood with an enhanced mechanism for user-friendly operation. Produced during the years 1972-1974, the round-arch MG Midgets with chrome bumpers are widely regarded as the most desirable. This example rolled out of the Abingdon factory in late early 1973, alonside the other 22,415 crafted between 1966 and the 1969 facelift, and an additional 77,831 rolling off the assembly line up to 1974. Sale Insight: For enthusiasts seeking a classic roadster that has been restored to a high standard and appears to be ready for use in time for summer, this is the car for you! |
