Car recently taken out of 12 year storage with the following work performed: Tune up with new air filters, battery. complete brake job with new master cylinder, slave and wheel cylinders. Carbs disassembled and cleaned along with fuel tank. This car is the same as an MG midget with most if not all parts interchangeable. The car is rare, cute as a bug, turns heads and already gets compliments. With some work, someone could have a fine collectible.

The car pulls very well through all gears but winds some in first gear only. The low end torque off the line is surprising for such a small 4 cylinder engine. The car does need new motor and transmission mounts, which come new with the car uninstalled. Thanks so much and good luck!
