1975 – MG Midget 1.5 Convertible 2dr Petrol Manual (65 bhp) – £1800
# 1975 MG Midget – Classic Barn Find Ready for Revival
This genuine 1975 MG Midget is a time capsule waiting to be brought back to life. Inherited in 1994 and carefully stored in a dry garage for the past 30 years, this British classic has been perfectly preserved from the elements. The bodywork is remarkably impressive for a car of its age—showing minimal rust and deterioration thanks to its long slumber under cover. While it’s been a non-runner since storage began, the mechanical fundamentals are sound: the engine turns over, it rolls freely, steers responsively, and the gearbox selects gears as it should. The tyres have been kept properly inflated throughout storage, which speaks to the care this Midget has received.
Whether you’re an experienced restorer or looking for a solid project with genuine bones to build from, this is an exceptional opportunity. The honest history and excellent bodywork provide an ideal foundation for a full restoration. One small note: the driver’s seat is currently unbolted and will need securing before use. Best of all, this classic MG is ULEZ compliant, meaning you can enjoy driving it on London’s roads without restrictions once restored. At £1,800, this is a rare chance to own a piece of British motoring heritage with real character and potential.
