This MG Midget MkIII is a characterful classic British sports car, boasting some discerning modifications and a recent and comprehensive restoration. It is now powered by a naturally aspirated, fuel-injected 1.8-litre 'K-Series' inline-four, driving the rear wheels via an upgraded five-speed manual transmission. This Midget MKIII was comprehensively rebuilt and upgraded by Modern Classic Cars, Sydney, and has been with the seller since September 2023. The seller notes that the odometer indicates 954 km, which is thought to be the distance covered since the completion of the restoration. It is finished in Harmony Blue over a black vinyl interior, featuring a blue German square-weave carpet, a black dashboard and upper door cards, a diamond-quilted lower centre console and rear bulkhead, and blue and white chequered cloth seat inserts. It rides on 13-inch silver Minilite-style VTO alloy wheels with polished lips and red centre caps on the rear wheels, and fitted with Dunlop SP Touring T1 tyres. The specification includes push-out front quarter light windows, a rear-view mirror, Smiths gauges, manual windows, and dashboard toggle switches. This Midget MkIII has been upgraded with a rear roll bar, a black leather-trimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, a Smiths speedometer with digital odometer, period-style bucket seats, an aftermarket exhaust system, uprated suspension with AVO shock absorbers, uprated brakes with Frontline callipers, an aluminium radiator, a Mocal remote oil filter kit, an aluminium expansion tank, and a boot-mounted battery isolator switch. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The most recent inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in August 2023 during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This MG Midget MkIII is a discerningly modified example of the charming classic British sports car, benefitting from a comprehensive restoration. Presented in Harmony Blue, and now boasting a lively 1.8-litre ‘K-Series’ engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox, it would make a distinctive addition to any assembly of British classics, and an exciting companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, track days, and visits to classic car shows alike.
