Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1977 MG Midget 1500 combines classic Midget charm with a more usable 1500cc engine, featuring recent cosmetic work and subtle upgrades like MX5 seats and Minator wheels. It's a long-term owned example with an appealing de-bumpered styling, though documentation is modest and mileage is unwarranted.
Condition
7
The car has had recent cosmetic work with over £5k spent on bodywork and has been converted from rubber bumpers to chrome-style appearance. The exterior presents as smart and presentable with very minor age-related imperfections. The interior shows general age-related wear consistent with use. The mechanical overview indicates the engine is in good running order, but documentation and servicing history are limited.
