This 1974 MG Midget is finished in green over brown vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 1.3-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black soft top, 13″ wire wheels, chrome bumpers, a Weber carburetor, a heater, and a Pioneer stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in July 2022, and subsequent work is said to have included installation of a front badge bar, a carburetor adjustment, and replacement of the throttle cable and brake lamp switch. This Midget Mk III is now offered at no reserve with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, service manuals, a black bimini top, spare and removed parts, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car is said to have been refinished in its factory shade of Citron under previous ownership and features a black soft top, top boot, and tonneau cover. Additional exterior details include a front badge bar, black rocker panels, chrome bumpers, and a single exhaust outlet. The seller states the brake light switch has been replaced and LED exterior lights are included in the sale. The chrome shows pitting and rust is present on the hood.
Silver-finished 13″ wire wheels with knock-off hubs are mounted with 155/80 Kumho Solus TA11 tires, while a spare wheel with an older Douglas tire is stored in the trunk. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features bucket seats that are said to have been reupholstered in Ochre vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Equipment includes a wood shift knob, a heater, a Pioneer stereo, and MG-branded rubber floor mats. An LED interior light kit and a removable subwoofer box upholstered in Ochre vinyl are included in the sale. The driver-seat bottom cushion requires replacement.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 44k miles, approximately 200 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1.3-liter inline-four was fitted with a single Weber carburetor under previous ownership. Work performed in preparation for the sale is said to have included adjusting the carburetor, replacing the throttle cable, and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate shows factory colors, options, and component numbers.
The removed SU carburetors are included in the sale along with service manuals and additional spare and removed parts.
