Description
MG Midget | 1979
Highlights:
– 1500cc 4-cylinder engine
– 4-speed manual transmission
– Black soft top
– Additional spotlights
The MG Midget has been a well-known name among small British roadsters for many years. This 1979 model is equipped with a 1500cc 4-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. As a rear-wheel drive car, it offers a simple and direct driving experience. This version represents the last generation of the Midget, featuring rubber bumpers and an engine based on the Triumph Spitfire. The car runs, brakes, and shifts, but it will need technical maintenance to bring it back to top condition.
The car is finished in bright blue paint, which contrasts with the black soft top and chrome details. Additional spotlights have been mounted at the front, giving it a slightly sportier appearance. The original wheels and badges are still in place, keeping the car close to its original design. The interior is brown with classic seats and an MG-branded steering wheel. Both the paint and interior show some signs of wear.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
