1973 MG Midget

MG Midget (1973)
for sale

Price: US $205.50

Description:

This is a car that has been in a heated enclosed garage for the past 20 years. It was driven into the storage area and carefully taken apart in order to be rebuilt and refinshed. Unfortunately, I had contracted several cancers shortly after starting this project and wasn't able to get very far. Now I am having to move and will be losing my storage facility. The car is really very rust free and has a good solid frame. There are no holes rusted in the floors, the doors, or the fenders. When I drove it into the garage the engine was very strong and had no smoking, oil dripping, or other bad habits. There are some minor electrical problems, but it wouldn't be British if it didn't. I have a new front electrical harness for the car, if you were going to go that far with it, too. Also all of the fluids that would be required, are available (new shock absorber fluid, antifreeze, brake and clutch fluid, and engine oil). It will require new tires as I haven't replaced them, yet. Other than that, I believe that everything required to get this car back to running condition and looking practically new, is available at this price.

Used
“This car has undergone a new paint job to get rid of the original "Mustard Yellow" body color and needs to be rubbed out. The sealing gaskets (such as around the doors, windows and the trunklid) have been purchased new as has the top and the carpet. The seats are original and are in excellent condition. It needs to have the dash reinstalled after a new top was put on it. The new headlights, top, carpet, radiator, carburetor gaskets, grill and the aircleaners need to be installed as well as the seats and the interior trim. When done this will be a practically new car. All of the pieces are available to go with the car, as cancer has caused me to lose the energy and the time to finish it as I would have liked. The bumpers are very solid with few dings and a bumper jack can be used to lift the car up. Please note that the doors do not sag and the spacing around them and around the trunk lid is very even. If you are interested and have any questions, feel free to call me at 616-485-3660.”
