1971 MG Midget Vin: GAN5UB93717G Mileage: Warranty: Title: Clear Condition: Used For Sale by: Owner Features Body Type: Convertible Engine: 4 Cylinder 1275cc Exterior Color: White Transmission: Manual Fuel: Gasoline (Leaded) Interior Color: Black Overview I bought the Midget in early 2002, it was in bad shape. The Midget was located about three hours away so we planned to go finalize the deal and drive the Midget home. Sounded like a good idea! After some last minute negotiations the owner delivered the Midget to me by way of a flatbed. Now I had myself a hobby car, A 1971 MG Midget MKIII. When I went out to find a shop that could do the work I needed I found two older gentlemen. The man behind the counter had worked as a salesman for the MG Dealership and the head mechanic worked as a mechanic for the same MG dealership. JACKPOT!!! From early 2002 through mid 2007 I had a total investment of $15, 117.15 including purchase Price. Other than the interior that was nonexistent I focused on the running gear as my mechanics told me that the engine and transmission were in Good shape, the Midget runs strong. Do to health reasons I can no longer operate the Midget and now it just sits for months at a time before I can brow beat one of my children into taking the Midget for a ride. The Midget has no heater and I saw no reason to install something I wouldn’t use. All gauges work and I upgraded the radio to a Stereo AM/FM CD Player, this makes for a great ride. I feel the Midget is about 75% restored. All that is needed is a new Owner. If you'd like to see more pictures, e-mail me at tomnsense@aol.com
