About this car

A 1980 MG Midget 1500, one of the last of the long-running small British roadsters, with the 1,491cc engine and a manual gearbox. It shows 9,132 miles and is finished in red.

The car has been in storage since around 2003 and is offered as a project needing recommissioning. It is said to run and drive, but it will need brakes. The page describes it as a solid, original example, and it has been with its last owner since March 2003.

An HPI check is stated as clear.
