About this car

This 1977 MG Midget 1500 is from the final years of the long-running small British roadster, when the car used the 1.5-litre Triumph-derived engine in place of the earlier A-series unit. It is a simple, light and approachable car that remains a popular entry point into classic open-top motoring.

The car has been restored throughout. The engine has been rebuilt and the car has a new interior, hood and tonneau cover. The dealer states it has covered no miles since the work was completed.

A large file of history and bills accompanies the car, documenting the restoration.
