Passed its MOT on 22/6/2017

It had a bare metal restoration in 1989 (see pics and I have the receipts of what was done and photographs). It has a very good service history with lots spent and frequently including a clutch. The mileage is believed genuine and that can be traced through the MOT's and other receipts.

The bodywork is in very good condition and the restoration has stood up very well. There are a few bits that need attention but the car looks fantastic and is solid - no holes or filler. I have been quoted £200 to sort the bodywork and bring up to A1 !

Mostly the paint is excellent and it certainly turns heads.

The exhaust is in good nick but don't expect shiny tail pipes. Receipts show it is stainless steel. It is in fact also a LCB sports manifold going to a single silencer, it's a great noise!

The floor plan is totally solid, when restored it was painted yellow and  light brown stippled underbody protection was used and has done its job very well.

It is in very good condition and most of the paint is still lustrous. The inside of the wheel arches and the cills are very solid with no rust. The brake pipes were also changed to copper.

The hood has no tears and fits well, I have just cleaned it and re waterproofed it.

I have all  new carpets and door cards waiting to be installed and was looking forward to that job as the final one to finish it off. The seats are leather and look great and nicer than vinyl ones. The carpets just need fitting and if i get time I will do this as I wouldn't want prospective owners to think this is an unfinished project. It most definitely is not! The previous owner chose not to install the interior, bit lighter maybe.

It also has the hood cover tonneau and a full tonneau plus there is a full breathable car cover.

There are all new water/heater hoses and I filled with ForLife and water wetter as per MGOC best practice.

I decided to ditch the points and fitted the Accuspark system with a new coil and new multimode plugs. The engine  is extremely smooth, revs cleanly with no smoke.There is a spare fuel pump, dizzy cap, points etc if you want to return to the old system, 

I also fitted a new petrol pump, filter and fuel hose. In addition there is a new vac advance tube and crank case ventilation hose. I need to update the under bonnet picture as the air filter is now correctly fitted and the air duct for the heater is also in place. There is also a new battery.

I sprayed the inside of the doors and the cill cavities with Dynax S50 using the extended 4 way nozzle to ensure it went everywhere it needed to, note it was already protected but my original intention was to keep the Midget so started doing things properly.

The bright work is with the car but I prefer not to fit it, up to the next owner. There is a bread crate which contains an electric Kenlowe fan (to replace the belt driven one on the car or to augment it) It also has mirrors, new door seals, window winders, internal door handles, door card clips in fact everything you need to fit the interior (apart from glue for the carpets) and assorted nuts and bolts including new hood studs and poppers. I have just fitted a chrome overtaking mirror as not dead keen on the plastic mirrors screwed through the wing - definitely didn't want to drill solid metal. I will be using some of this if I get time to refit the interior.

I could go on but I would suggest you need to see the car in the flesh to appreciate it. This Midget with a little effort could be a top example.

The car is in my name and is declared SORN.  I would prefer direct bank transfer please and again cleared before I release the car or there are many banks and a Post Office near to my location if you would prefer cash.
