Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1977 MG Midget 1500 was sold for £3,700, above its £2,500 - £3,000 estimate. Recent work includes a professionally refurbished gearbox, new clutch, and a longer ratio differential fitted in 2024; the hood is relatively new.
Condition
6
The car is driven regularly and has had some refurbishment work done. However, the listing does not provide enough detail to assess the cosmetic condition, so I assume that it will require some reconditioning.
