AI Listing Summary
This 1970s MG Midget, having undergone a restoration in 1986, is presented as a fun and well-driving classic. It boasts a smooth engine and gearbox, and is described as having no known faults by the current owner.
Condition
7
The car was reportedly restored in 1986 and the vendor states it has been an 'absolute joy' and 'drives very well' with 'no known faults'. Engine and gearbox are described as smooth and it starts first time. However, the odometer has stopped working, indicating potential mechanical wear or a need for repair. While the doors close perfectly and it retains a good degree of originality, the lack of maintenance history and the odometer issue suggest it's not in excellent or outstanding condition.

Description
1275cc, manual.
The vendor purchased this red MG Midget from an ACA sale in 2022 and reports that it has been “an absolute joy”.
It is understood to have been restored in 1986 after travelling around the world on a yacht for 18 years.
Despite its restoration the car retains a good degree of originality, and the doors close perfectly.
We're told that it "drives very well” with “no known faults.
Engine and gearbox are very smooth, and it starts first time”.
It comes with previous and current V5Cs showing 5 former keepers.
Although there is no maintenance history, the vendor tells us that all it has required during his ownership is a new brake master cylinder and regular servicing.
The odometer is reading 45,291 miles, but it appears to have stopped working some years ago.
