This 1976 MG Midget has been with the seller for 36 years and shows 92k miles from new. After being purchased from the original owner in 1980 at just under 65k miles, the seller used the car as his daily driver in high school and a bit in college. After a move to New York City in 1986, the Midget was covered and put on blocks in storage for 11 years. Since relocating to North Carolina, the seller has driven the car occasionally and has receipts for much of the work completed during his ownership including a re-paint in its original color, new carpet kit, and a new windshield frame. It remains unmodified and is being offered at no reserve with a clean North Carolina title.

The British Racing Green paint was resprayed around 20 years ago and shows some dings, scratches, and nicks in the finish. Body panels appear straight with no sign of accidents. Lenses, trim, and badging appears intact and complete. Later-era impact bumpers are in good condition.

The windshield and frame from another MG were fitted, but the newer glass currently has a small crack in it. A replacement unit, gasket, and rubber fittings are included in the sale along with the factory windshield and frame.

A few tears are present in the non-original black soft top and it should be replaced if the new owner desires better weather protection. An original convertible cover for the top and tonneau cover accompany the vehicle.

Inside, the tan upholstery is unrestored and slightly discolored but shows no rips or tears in the seats. New carpet was installed 10 years ago and remains in good condition. The seller discloses a crack in the dash and a dash cover has been fitted. The factory three-spoke steering wheel is also cracked, and a new one is included in the sale.

Under the hood, the 1493cc engine could benefit from a good detail but is said to run well, paired to a 4-speed manual Morris Marina gearbox that features synchromesh on all gears. Records are available for maintenance during the seller’s ownership and include a clutch repair a few months ago and brake service last year.

Some corrosion is present on the undercarriage but no rot is evident.

The spares package is shown above which includes replacement steering wheel, new windshield, new fan belts and a new horn, rubber fittings, stock glass and frame, and rubber all-weather floor mats.
