The humble MG Midget. A cornerstone of classic open top driving since its introduction in 1929, but the Midget as we know it would begin in 1961.

Developed from the Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite, the MG Midget took on the mantle of a small, nimble, lightweight and most importantly fun sports car for many enthusiasts since its creation over 60 years ago.

Our particular MG Midget, is a beautifully cared for example. First registered in March of 1971, VJH 151J has been cared for superbly in recent years – documented in the cars history file which dates back to the early 2000’s with dozens of specialist parts and fitting invoices.

Finished in a classic combination of vibrant and fiery red paintwork with beautiful brightwork throughout on its exterior, our MG Midget balances this look out with a stylish and elegant black interior and roof as well as the addition of a recent wire wheel conversion.

As with many midgets of its generation, this car is fitted with a 1275cc 4-cylinder engine paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox for that feeling only a playful, lightweight sportscar can give.

So why not enter for your chance to win this bite-sized B-road bruiser!
