1971 MG Midget

Description

When you want a cut-above classic for an exceptional price, you need to check out this 1971 MG Midget. Besides being from the chrome bumper years, the great care and huge document file that comes with this classic roadster gives you the ideal classic car experience.

Because owning an MG stands out in the crowd, and there's no better way to fly the flag of English craftsmanship British Racing Green that is original to the car. It looks particularly nice because this MG has been treated to a very good life so far. You can see it in the shine of the luggage rack and feel it in the way the doors shut with authority. This is a MkIII car, which means you get the full chrome front and rear. It's a distinguishing factor from later cars that makes it worth the extra investment. And as you look over all the details, the badging, the brightwork, and wheels are all so complete that you'll absolutely love this for a sunny day friend. If the weather does turn wet, the tan folding roof and roll up windows will keep your dry for the drive home.

For a car named Midget, there is a surprising amount of room inside. Decent legroom and the individual original ambla/vinyl bucket seats are the key to this car's comfort. Plus, features like the Panosonic AM/FM stereo, and heater are nice period-correct luxuries. Good care over the years means the door panels, boot cover, and carpeting are all nicely coordinated and remain attractive. Autumn Leaf is name of the interior color, which is quintessentially British. So too is the way the steering wheel has the perfect grip, the gearshift feels like an extension of your arm, and the full Smiths gauge package does an exotic dance – yes, this is a true driver's machine.

MkIII cars were also upgraded to the 1275cc motor. When you look at the size of the engine bay and the dual SU carburetors, it's quite an impressive powerplant. The owner believes the 64,545 miles may be original. In fact, it fires up with a sporty tone that suggests this Midget is mightier than its size... and that's part of the car's charm. The setup is specifically built for you to take advantage of the fully-synchronized four-speed gearbox and get the most out of this motor. The light body weight, independent front suspension, and front disc brakes all contribute to the sporting attitude.

When you pour through all the pictures (including the trunk) you see a roadster that's been respected all its life. And that's backed up with the huge document file that includes owner's manual, bill of sale, window sticker, and much more. There's even a toolkit and fender protector that comes with the sale. Yes, you can get a classic this amazing for such an affordable price... that is if you're quick enough to grab this deal. Call now!!
