For sale is an exceptionally nice MG Midget MKIV Roadster with only 6,421 ORIGINAL miles. It sports the original British racing green with the tan interior. This is a one owner car and has lived most if its life in an airplane hangar after it was bought brand new 1979 which was the last year these cars were produced.

With a 12 second 0 to 60 time and the ease of shifting with the fully synchronized transmission makes this a classic car that is a joy to drive, and keeps up with modern day speeds. The drivability of this car provides more options for cruising and trips that would be otherwise be limited by a speed restriction to the car.

Newer top and tonneau cover. It also has a recent battrey. The car runs and drives absolutely perfectly and has always been stored indoors for the entirety of its life. All the gauges work as they should.
