Description
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this exceptional MG Midget fitted with it's believed original 1098cc engine. This car was recently purchased from Florida, where before that was purchased out of a long term Georgia doctor's MG collection in a climate controlled warehouse. This early Midget appears 100% rust free, straight, and without any signs of accidents.The bodywork and paint on this car are absolutely superb and crisp. The car was partially disassembled and then stripped to bare metal, then worked back up into the possible $10,000 value of coach works that you see here. It's an amazing, over-the-top body and paint restoration for such a gem of a little motorcar. Panel fit is per factory, body straightness is clearly better than factory. Most all of the chrome work was also renewed along with light lenses, body fittings, 4 chrome knockoffs, etc.The car's interior trim was also renewed in correct red quality vinyl with seats piped in white, new panel kit, carpets (now showing some age), recovered cockpit cappings. The dashboard was restored. There is a custom wood steering wheel fitted. The car includes a brand new soft top along with restored top bows, new side screen set, and a brand new quality Moss red carpet kit (for replacement if desired).The car's original 1098cc engine starts easily on the key, revs well with good oil pressure and no smoke, and sings happily and healthily down the road. Brakes, clutch, gearbox, and suspension all feel very good. The car has been fitted with new Dunlop tires on restored original 13" wire wheels. The car's engine compartment is very clean and painted to a less glossier black finish, with correct detailing and decals.The car's underside looks very tidy overall, commensurate with the car's age and mileage. The car includes a spare rim and tire, original jack with lifting handle, top and tonneau bows, soft top assembly- all pictured.Overall, a magnificent little car in it's spectacular and rare black/red color scheme with wire wheels, this MG Midget is a scarce offering in this highly restored condition. One would be hard pressed to find another one like it.
