1978 MG Midget 1500
Showing 57,000 miles;
recently prepared for auction; running and driving
First registered in February 1978, this Midget has been with our
vendor since 2012, having been with nine other registered keepers over the
years.
It was purchased by our vendor as
barely running project, although the body, underside and interior were all
perfectly respectable. As it turned out, the only reason it wasn’t running was a
leaking fuel pipe and slightly misbehaving fuel pump.
The aim was to smarten it up and get it on the road as a fun car
for him to use. The fuel issue was sorted pretty quickly and it was resprayed
the colour you see today. Unfortunately, due to ill health, work on the MG was
suspended and the car was slipped into dry storage, from which it has only just
left. As our vendors health has deteriorated over the years, time has come to
reduce the number of cars in his collection.
To
prepare for the auction, new carpets have been fitted along with smart
new wheels. Points and condenser have been replaced and although the distributor
has not, there is a new one in the boot.
Running and driving, the hood looks in good shape and looks
like a respectable car to use and improve, looking nice and original
underneath too.
