SOLD
Confirmed as one of the final 500 off the production line.
This must be one of the lowest mileage midgets and certainly one of the very best on offer.
When it arrived at our workshops in Ipswich there were superficial marks on the body but absolutely no rust in the shell. After a lot of deliberation we decided to repaint the car. We removed the engine and gearbox and polished the wax-oyled engine bay that had done its job over the years in preserving the original paintwork and fending off rust.
A new clutch was fitted at this time and a full rebuild of the twin carbs.
We did not paint the engine bay, boot area or front slam panel as we wanted to retain as much of the original car as possible.
The engine and gearbox was detailed to original and at no time did we fit the glitzy parts that others think make the cars look better. We wanted to retain originality.
The original soft-top had one very small tear so we fitted a brand new Mohair roof rather than repair the vinyl one.
It still retains its original hood and tonneau covers. The original soft-top is sold with the car.
The car came with a fitted roll bar. I think this spoils the lines of the car so I haven’t refitted it.
The wheels have been professionally refurbished to as new and 5 new tyres fitted.
The car is in superb condition. There are some bills with the car but it doesn’t have its original service pack.
