The MG Midget was built from 1961 to 1979. It revived a name that had been used on earlier models such as the MG M-type and MG D-type. The MG Midget 1500 was introduced to meet US regulations, large black plastic bumpers were added to the front and rear and the ride height was increased. The increased ride height affected handling, and an anti-roll bar was added to help with higher centre of gravity. The A-Series engine was replaced by the 1493 cc unit from the Triumph Spitfire, coupled to a modified Morris Marina gearbox with synchromesh on all four gears. The increased displacement of the new engine was better able to cope with the increasing emission regulations.
This is a 1977 MG Midget 1500 which has been owned by the vendor since 2011. The car is in very good condition, with it comes with a new interior and a new hood. The paint is said to be in good condition, and the engine bay is described as being very tidy. The car has been stored for some time but runs and drives well.
