1980 – MG Midget 1.5 Convertible 2dr Petrol Manual (65 bhp) – £4950

Step back in time with this classic 1980 MG Midget, a true automotive gem that not only boasts ULEZ compliance but also offers a thrilling driving experience. After four years of ownership, the seller is reluctantly parting with this well-maintained sports car, which comes with an impressive history and recent mechanical improvements. The Midget showcases excellent bodywork with no rust and a shiny paint finish, and benefits from being MOT and tax-free with cheap insurance rates.

This particular model is one of the last batch of Midgets ever produced and comes with an extensive documentation file, including 31 historical MOT certificates dating back to 1983. A comprehensive mechanical overhaul in 2020 costing £3,595 included electronic ignition, carb rebuild, brake and suspension work, and steering rack replacement. Recent maintenance includes brake master cylinder and pipe replacement, and while a small non-structural weld plate is needed underneath, it doesn’t impact the car’s performance. With a waterproof hood and a usable interior that shows charming signs of its age, this MG Midget represents a fantastic opportunity for classic car enthusiasts seeking a reliable and characterful roadster.
