MG a division of the British Motor Corporation produced just over 225000 Midgets from 1961 through 1980. The earliest versions or the MK I was essentially a slightly more expensive version of the Austin Healey Sprite using a lot of the same components including engines all the way through the end of production. Over the years the engines grew from the 948cc with the MK I and ended up with the 1500 CC out of the Triumph spitfire with the MK IV's. These engines produced a whopping 65 HP they wer...e capable of 100 MPH speeds. These cars became iconic over time in the vintage race scenes especially in the UK. The MG Midget Challenge is a series dedicated to the Midget. Today they are increasingly being restored to a high standard helped by the excellent availability of parts both new and remanufactured. The 1976 Midget offered here is a very solid example. The paint shows some patina but yet represents well. The interior appears to have newly reupholstered seats and a new vinyl top. The Midget comes with a spare tire and a upgraded sound system with a Sony CD player and ExPlod speakers. The Midget also has a tonneau cover and luggage rack. It rides on 13 inch tires that are mounted to factory steel wheels with beauty rings. This is a fun little car that is sure to leave a smile on your face.
