Description of 1979 MG Midget

This is a fun little car to own. Maintenance is very little and all parts are readily available online. There are also MG clubs and forums out there to answer all your questions. Nice fun car for spring or summer. I like that I can drive it and literally park it ANYWHERE. I don't even lock it, ust jump in and go, ut I do keep it in my garage.

I kept it as a roadster as I don't like the look with the top up, ou probably agree. This car is a nice little daily driver that needs a few small things to make great.

The odometer reads 55,000, 'm just assuming it's 155,000

I am selling it as is.

These cars are bought at a local benefit sale where the proceeds go to good causes. Most cars come from affluent communities where the owner's buy a new vehicle and donate there "old" one for a tax write off. I've been buying cars at charity events for years and everyone makes out. I try to be as honest as possible about these cars and list what I know, ut I'm not a mechanic or body repair person. I have done this for years and everyone has been happy with the cars. I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK, ostly from cars on ebay. If you really need to call me, o ahead, ut I've described it as best as I can: 818-272-1112 God bless and hope you love your car purchase.

**NOTE** If you have "0" Feedback, lease don't bid, 've had too many flakes in the past.
