Lot Ended
Description
On offer from a Special Cotswold Collection; smart Midget with an
excellent interior and underside; fuel system needs attention due to lack of
recent use
First registered
in December 1967, this pretty Midget MkIII comes from a collection of quality
cars and this MG is no exception. Purchased by our vendor in September 2016, it
has covered just 40 miles in his 8-year ownership.
Plenty of invoices from 1995-2006 show regular upkeep including a
rear brake rebuild by MRD of Oxford in August 2000, the underside was
undersealed by MRD in 2002 and it had new rear wheel cylinders and brake
lines in 2006.
Other documents in the sizeable
history file include the buff logbook, lots of old MOT certificates plus some MG
Midget handbooks. Although MOT exempt, a quick search online show this sweet
Midget flew through advisory-free tests in 2016, 2017 and 2019, nor has it had
any advisories since 2006, being very little used over the years.
In need of some minor work to get it running
again, our vendor has dropped the fuel tank to investigate a fuel supply issue
so the tank, the fuel pump and associated lines are currently in the boot. We
have, however, had the car running on Easy Start and it sounds very
healthy.
Presenting well both above and below,
with excellent brightwork, interior, underside and engine bay, all that lets the
side down slightly is the paintwork. It looks great from 10ft away but does have
some micro-blistering on close inspection.
This is a
super little Midget that is just crying out for more regular use and only needs
some minor fettling to get it back on the road where it
belongs.
