Overview of 1976 MG Midget For Sale by Owner

Many classic car afficionados are warming up to the idea of owning and driving a classic British roadster. You see, that’s because British roadsters from the fifties through eighties are the antithesis of American cars of the same vintage. Instead of being large and heavy machines with massive V8s and immense power, the classic British roadster rides on lightness and frugality. Hence, you’ll typically find small four-cylinder engines, manual transmissions, and compact dimensions. No, not compact as in the compact segment that we know. We’re talking much smaller. Take this 1976 MG Midget as a prime example. This 79,000-mile car is up for sale with us right now and looks like it could fit in your pocket. The sale of the car includes three keys and two gas cap keys, and we’re told that it bears the original mileage. Furthermore, one thing is assured, and that’s the broad smile on your face when you drive it like it’s meant to be driven.

Exterior and Interior

This dinky 1976 MG Midget is less than 140 inches long and 55 inches wide. Wearing a Polar White paint job, it looks almost toy-like until you get closer and realize that this is a serious car, an adult’s weekend toy. The current owner reports new paint, a new bonnet, and a new convertible hood. We’re also told that the tires wrapped around its tiny 13-inch alloy wheels are new as well, so you can enjoy this car to the fullest. Stepping aboard, we’re once again reminded of the importance of simplicity. You’ll find a steering wheel, two seats, three pedals, and a stick shift. It’s not too sparse, though. The driver gets a full instrument panel that includes a tachometer, speedometer, water temperature gauge, and fuel level gauge. For some entertainment, you could engage in conversation with your passenger or fire up the new aftermarket radio from JVC. Then, you can listen to FM or MW channels or pop in a CD. We’re told that new speakers have been installed as well. You’ll even find a modestly-sized trunk behind the passenger cabin that can accept a couple of soft bags. For more luggage capacity, there’s a cargo rack mounted atop the trunk lid, another popular modification for British roadsters that were taken on tours by their proud owners.

Engine

This 1976 MG Midget has a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine to power it along the roads. Aided by the original four-speed manual transmission, this car sends power to the rear wheels, making it a driver’s dream. We’re told that the vehicle has received recent servicing too, so you can point it down your favorite road and drive it to its fullest, without even needing to break the speed limit.

Imagine if an automaker made a car called Midget today! There would be mass uproar, massive social media campaigns of condemnation and a lot of flak to contend with. The world sure has become a rather touchy place. No such finickiness existed in 1961 when British sports car maker MG or Morris Garages released a diminutive two-seat roadster. They simply called it the Midget because it was one of their smaller offerings. Prior, the Midget nameplate had been seen on some of their other cars too. So what’s so funky about this 1971 MG Midget MKIII from Indiana, Pennsylvania? Well, for starters it’s a fantastic way to experience true, unadulterated sports car motoring because it relies on light weight and small dimensions to give you a good time rather than brute force and wallowing about. Granted, these cars are well built to stand the test of time. So call us ASAP if you want it.
