1967 MG Midget 70539 Miles Green Convertible 1275cc Inline 4 Cylinder 5 Speed M

Description

The MG Midget is a small two-seater sports car produced by MG from 1961 to 1979. It revived a name that had been used on earlier models such as the MG M-type MG D-type MG J-type and MG T-type. The first version announced at the end of June 1961 was essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of the MkII Austin-Healey Sprite. The original 'frogeye' Sprite had been introduced specifically to fill the gap in the market left by the end of production of the MG T-type Midget as its... replacement; the MGA had been a significantly larger and more expensive car with greater performance. Many existing MG buyers turned to the Sprite to provide a modern low-cost sports car and so a badge-engineered MG version reusing the Midget name made sense. The new Midget differed from the Sprite only in its grille design badging colour options and having both leather seats and more external chrome trim as standard to justify its higher purchase price. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1967 MG Midget for consideration. According to the owner this vehicle is in all original condition he purchased the vehicle from a gentleman that had the vehicle stored in his garage for over 25 years. The green exterior paint is in great condition considering the age; the black interior is also in great shape showing no major rips tears holes or damage. This Midget is powered by a 1275cc 4 cylinder motor that runs like a top and pairs perfectly with the 4 speed manual transmission. The 70XXX miles on the odometer are believed to be original and correct to the body and the motor.
