1979 MG Midget 1979 Convertible

MG Midget Convertible (1979)
for sale

Price: US $0.99

Description:

California/Arizona car with minor rust spots and solid foot pans, front end replaced including suspension, rotors, brakes, tie rods. One of the last 9000 Midgets imported to the U.S. Rebuilt heater and fan motor. Many parts replaced including lighting, relays, backup light indicator, rotor & wires, starter, battery, seat belts, switches, master cylinder, original carburetor (ZenithStromberg) rebuilt. No emissions equipment is operable. No rust through, small areas of paint bubbling on hood, and paint is faded on rear from its time outside (before I rescued her). Looks as if she was repainted at one time (poorly) and needs minor body repair and a paint job and little else to fully restore her. After 37 years she does have some minor dings, but no accidents or big dents. There is an extra hole from the larger bases of the side mirrors (I like the smaller round mirrors) easily covered by putting larger mirrors back on or chrome covers. The interior is completely redone and covered with seat covers to protect them. The dash was cracked and has a custom molded cover for the Midget. Carpet is complete and in good condition. There is a brand new convertible top (used rarely) along with a used tonneau cover, a cockpit cover, both of which have some wear. The user & repair manuals (many of them) are included as are misc. parts including the attachments for wire wheels, and many light covers, full spare, newer tires all around, etc.
Garage kept for the last 3 years and rescued from neglect. Mileage is unknown but is operable along with speedometer. Runs well. Great fun to driveRegistered in Arizona as historic vehicle, inexpensive to insure as historic (less than $300/yr) Far more invested than I'll ever got out of it. Low reserve.
Local pickup only.
