Footnotes

An MG with its origins in the 'frog-eyed' Austin-Healey Sprite, the Midget first appeared in July 1961, one month after the launch of its restyled progenitor, sharing the same bodyshell and mechanical underpinnings with only badges, trim details and price differentiating the two. A series of engine enlargements saw the Midget arrive at 1,275cc in the form of the Mark III - code 'GAN4'. Introduced in 1966, the latter employed a de-tuned (to 65bhp) version of the 1,275cc Cooper S engine while offering significantly enhanced practicality courtesy of new convertible hood. Testing a Mark III Midget, Autocar declared: "... it remains an excellent little car which certainly achieves its primary object – that of being fun to drive".

Offering the prospect of easily affordable entry into the world of classic sports car ownership, the Midget is one of the easiest to run and maintain, being served by a multitude of spare parts manufacturers, service providers and owners' clubs. This Mark III was first registered in June 1967 and is now finished in red with black interior. The hood and frame appear to be in good condition, the paint good to fair, and the chrome good. Note the Minilite-style wheels. Overall the car is described by the vendor as 'tidy' looking and is running well. Works recently carried out have included fitting the correct type gearbox, new rear springs, new flexible brake pipes, and a new clutch kit. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.
