THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owneris this classic 1975 MG Midget convertible!
Finished in the original bright yellow with turquoise pinstriping over black vinyl, this very original 45 year-old blue California license plate specimen shows just over 1,100 miles on its working odometer. I am told it is original but I cannot 100% verify this. It was recently unearthed after sitting in a garage since about 1977. It sports a great running 1.5 liter 56 horsepower four cylinder engine mated to the original 4 speed manual transmission. It features a brand new convertible top and tires, vintage blaupunkt stereo, tonneau and interior covers and is being sold with clean and clear California title! AND.....it is being sold with a second "NON-running parts donor car" as shown in the photo. It has a key and lien sale papers
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1975 MG is in quite good99.99% RUST-FREE VERY ORIGINAL CONDITION overall with a good overall shine to the paint finish. There is a series of door nicks on one side along with some weird paint blemishes, various nicks, scratches and other imperfections.Overall this is a nice driver-quality classic as it sits! The expression..."it's only original once" is quite applicable here!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this classic Midget is in quite good VERY ORIGINAL CONDITION overall with working speedometer and odometer as well as lights, blinkers and gauges.There is some light wear inside this car most notably on the driver side carpet area, pitting on the chrome surrounds and the radio is inop with missing dial, Overall this is still one nice original cockpit!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This little classic starts easily and RUNS VERY WELL with respectable power and peppy acceleration, smooth shifting transmission, straight braking and quite solid rattle-free suspension, tight steering and nice tracking down the road. There is a groaning noise....a bad rubber mount I am told. Overall this is one very solid little cruiser!Check out the test drive video here:https://youtu.be/GT3zXYnOytw
