Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1971 MG Midget 1275 features a full nut and bolt restoration from the 1990s and an upgraded 1298cc engine. It has been stored and lightly recommissioned, making it a project with significant potential for a classic car enthusiast.
Condition
7
The car underwent a nut and bolt restoration in the 1990s and has been stored for most of its life with occasional summer use and recent light recommissioning. While it has a restored heritage shell and an upgraded engine, the description indicates it has been stored and recently recommissioned, suggesting it's not in pristine or outstanding condition but likely better than average due to the restoration.
