This 1966 MG Midget was restored five years ago, part of which included fitment of this handsome fiberglass Lenham body, which sounds to be a modern production continuation item. The car looks well-finished throughout, and a tuned 1275 and freshly rebuilt gearbox should ensure it runs as good as it looks. Find it here at Sussex Sports Cars somewhere in Sussex, England for 11,950 GBP (~$17k USD today).

The open-top donor car sounds to have needed quite a bit of rust repair, as the seller notes that part of restoration involved fitment of new inner and outer sills, cabin and trunk floors, A-pillar posts, inner fenders, spring mounts, and more. The fastback Lenham body looks great, though this color scheme is perhaps a bit underwhelming. Minotaur-made Minilite replicas are excellent however, but the ride height does look a bit like a work in progress. What’s up with the red tailpipe?

Inside, seats have been reupholstered to match recovered door panels and new carpets. The Moto-Lita wheel is a good choice, and gauges look crisp and clear. Switchgear appears to be fully intact as well. Despite the modern latch receivers, seatbelts remain simple two-point lap items.

The 1275cc BMC A-series runs a big, twin choke 40 DCOE Weber carb and long tube headers, but sounds to be stock otherwise. Power is sent through a fresh, professionally rebuilt 4-speed transmission, onward to a 3.9:1 geared differential, which sounds to be open. Upgraded, rebuilt front shocks are noted as well, but overall, mechanical spec details are limited.

RHD might be a turnoff to some US buyers, but these Lenham cars–period built or not–are very rare, especially outside of England.
