Genuine 1979 Midget 28150 miles Original Condition SOLD
In the V5C document it shows as having 3 previous owners, but 2 of those are actually ourselves. We used to own and operate a car sales dealership in our local town and we bought the MG not to sell but to keep so we were the second owners. In 2001 we closed down the dealership and moved our business and had to change ownership of the vehicle to a new address so we were technically the third owner. Again in May 2008 the MG was transferred into our personal ownership, so out of the 4 registered keepers, 3 are from our family and as the car has only travelled less than 100 miles whilst in our care it is technically a 2 owner vehicle.
The MG is totally original and unmolested having benefitted from rustproof protection from new. It has never been welded. There is one slight corrosion spot on the lower edge of the nearside door which can be seen in one of the pictures and a small scratch on the n/ side front wing. The floorpan is immaculate and I have more photos which I can email if you are interested. The interior is excellent and its original hood is also excellent and free of rips. It starts on the button first time and runs beautifully. When you pull away in first gear there is a slight noise from the gearbox, it was a common occurrence in this gearbox and it is the internal clearance between first gear and the reverse idler gear being almost non existent and the gears actually contact each other, this is not a major problem as my other Midget does exactly the same. The vehicle has been dry storded internally for the duration of our ownership.
The midget is currently MOT'd but will receive a new full 12 month MOT on purchase. Any inspection of this unique vehicle is welcomed and a ramp will be made available by appointment.
Why buy a welded, "restored" or Heritage re-shelled vehicle when you can buy an original unmolested example??
Thank you for taking the time to read this and do not hesitate in contacting me for any further information.
