Description of 1979 MG Midget

For sale is a lovingly cared for 1979 MG Midget 1500 with just over 27,000 miles on the original engine (hard to say if this has rolled once or not so listed on the title as NOT ACTUAL). The car sat for nearly a decade in storage without being driven at all, so 27K may actually be the case.

I have owned it for just over a year and have completed a sweeping restoration. Below is what has been accomplished. The car runs and drives great, but I just haven't been able to enjoy it as much as I'd like. I have a lot of money into this project, but know I will never get a full return on my investment so I'm offering this at an incredible discount. The pictures you see were taken early this summer just after it was professionally painted British Racing Green (from the original Brooklands Green color). There is no rust or Bondo on the car. Leaks some when sitting.

Sold as is in the Continental U.S. only. No returns or warranty offered. I will field questions and send additional pictures only to those truly interested. Cell: 248-444-8452.

Buyer either picks up or pays for shipping at cost.
