This MG Midget MKIII is a wonderfully presented and tastefully modified example of the characterful classic British sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from a recent 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 for nine years. The odometer indicates 812 Kms since the completion of the restoration. This example is finished in the attractive shade of Harmony Blue over a blue vinyl-trimmed 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 a set of 13-inch Minilite-style VTO alloy wheels finished in silver with polished lips and contrasting red centre caps, shod in Dunlop SP Touring T1 tyres. The factory specification includes push-out front quarter light windows, Smiths gauges, and dashboard toggle switches. This Midget MKIII has been upgraded with a rear roll bar, a black leather-trimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, a digital Smiths speedometer, 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.
