1976 MG Midget

MG Midget (1976)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

I bought it to restore but I need space for another project. It probably has the most rust free body I have seen on an MG. No rust on top or underneath except 1 hole about the size of a deck of cards under the brake pedal (Pictured). Wasn't running and driving when it was delivered to me so I pulled the carburetor and cleaned it and put a new manifold gasket on it and she fired right up! Drives nice with no crunchy gear noises and no warning signs from the engine. It's a very happy little engine and it doesn't even leak. I have no idea if the miles are correct but the odometer and tripometer both work. If I judged it by how the motor runs I would say they are original. No wheel bearing noises either. I wanted to make it better so I bought a $300 Weber carburetor and intake but the fuel pressure is to high so it cuts out after starting. It needed a fuel pressure regulator that is included in the sale and already installed. I am including the carburetor and intake manifold in the sale (comes with instructions). No overheating and great oil pressure. Converted to electronic distributor so no points to worry about, new wires, plugs, and fresh oil. It will need a new top. The top doesn't leak but the window is cloudy and there are patches in places. All original glass, no chips, cracks or bullseyes in the windshield. Original radio still works. The only gauge that doesn't work is the Tachometer. Comes with a rare split cover and everything seen next to the car in the last couple of pictures.
