This MG Midget MkIII is a characterful classic British roadster, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from an extensive rebuild. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1,275cc inline-four fed by twin SU carburettors, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a retrofitted Suzuki five-speed manual transmission. This example has been with the seller for eight years. The odometer indicates 77 Kms, though this is not warranted. This Midget MkIII is finished in the appealing hue of Harvest Gold with a black vinyl convertible roof, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 13-inch Rostyle steel wheels fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, push-out front quarter light windows, and Smiths gauges. This example has had the front and rear bumpers removed, and has been fitted with a digital speedometer, a reduction drive high-torque starter, a Suzuki five-speed manual gearbox, and a custom-fabricated bell housing conversion. The car comes with the original bumpers, a spare wheel, the old registration papers, and for WA buyers only, the car will be supplied with a roadworthy for a walk in REGO. One set of keys is included in the sale, alongside a red key for the battery isolator. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full bare-metal respray was carried out as part of the rebuild/restoration, there is the odd stone chip as a result of reassembly, though these will be touched-up before hand-over, and there were minor interior repairs carried out during the rebuild. This Midget’s most recent maintenance was carried out in September 2024 at an indicated 24 Kms by the seller’s engine builder, which consisted of the engine being fully rebuilt and service items replaced as part of the rebuild. A full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration/rebuild has been carried out. This MG Midget MkIII is an endearing and engaging classic British roadster, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from an extensive rebuild. Presented with an appealing colour scheme, charming compact styling, and boasting a peppy 1,275cc engine coupled to a retrofitted five-speed manual gearbox, it would make an excellent addition to any assembly of British classics, and a wonderful companion for weekend drives, fair-weather open-air cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
