MG MIDGET 1974. Last of the chrome bumpers. I bought it in the summer of 2007 with the intention of restoring, but time and priorities changed. My loss is your gain. Here is the bad: Engine runs strong, but definitely needs new gaskets. My intention was to do a full teardown and rebuild. Engine ran when I brought it home, but previous owner confirmed the main gasket was bad. Hood was rusted beyond repair. I began the teardown and the electrical system is heavily corroded. Typical of english cars. The driver floorpan is solid, and the trunk panels over the rear axles have been replaced. The passenger floorpan was replaced prior to my purchase, but not professionally. The firewall has weak spots located under the windshield. Missing are the wipers (3) and the directional switch from the steering column. The Good: The convertible top and rear glass/plastic panel is in great condition. The seats are in good condition, including all the interior and I have all of the parts except the hood. The engine ran well, as did the transmission when I brought it home, however, I ran it only a short time, because of the gasket issue. Tires are good also. The car has been painted at least twice, and some of the body panels and rocker panels show some rust. Only a few places are rusted through. Bear in mind, this is a 36 year old vehicle. Odometer reading from the title states 18681. Actual mileage may be more, As I am at least the 3rd owner, I have to assume that is not accurate. Email questions. I have more pictures and will be happy to forward any that you ask for. This car has a lot of potential, and I would hope it goes to someone with the talent to bring it up to its former glory. This vehicle will need to be trailered. It is NOT in running condition. No Refunds. Vehicle sold "As Is"
