AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL
Are you looking for a charming, authentic British roadster? We offer: a very good and original Dutch MG Midget MK3 from 1969. This specific MK3 generation is a beloved milestone in Midget history, as it is equipped with the famous 1275 cc A-series four-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors, derived from the legendary Mini Cooper S. In this variant the eager engine delivers 65 hp, which, in combination with the extremely low vehicle weight, creates the pure and lively driving character for which classic English sports cars are known. This classic exudes the pure atmosphere of the sixties and is an honest car that has withstood the test of time remarkably well. It is an ideal driver's car for the enthusiast who is looking for a solid basis with a beautiful character.
BODYWORK & PAINT
The body of this Midget is in very good condition with no current rust formation. About twenty years ago the car was fully repainted because the original paint had worn at the time, which is why it still looks radiant today. The chrome work is in exceptional condition and appears nearly new. The underside of the car has historically been treated with a protective bitumen coating and is hardly rusted, although over time a few welded repairs will be needed to bring the floor back to absolute top condition.
TECHNICAL
Technically this MG has been well maintained and is ready to drive. The 1.3-liter engine, manual transmission, clutch and brakes all operate fully as they should. The roadster starts readily and the exhaust is in good condition. Recently the car received a service check during which a brand new battery was also installed. The lighting has been fully checked and is in order. Although the four tires still have sufficient tread, given their twenty-year age they should be replaced to ensure optimal driving comfort and safety. As a small caveat, the left door lock currently functions a bit stiffly.
INTERIOR
The interior exudes the atmosphere of a true English sports car from the glory days of the roadsters. The artificial leather seats are neatly kept and completely free of tears. The dashboard looks good and all door linings show only light, age-related signs of wear. Although the carpeting has seen better days, this provides a nice and simple opportunity for the new owner to refine the interior to suit their own taste. The convertible roof unfortunately has a few small cracks, but the folding mechanism still works perfectly.
DOCUMENTS
As an originally Dutch-delivered car, this MG has the correct and complete Dutch papers. The clear history and demonstrable Dutch origin make this a highly transparent, reliable, and honest example for the next enthusiast.
PICK-UP
The car can be viewed by appointment and can be collected after purchase in Waddinxveen, the Netherlands. The MG is in road-ready condition and ready to be cherished and taken for beautiful drives by a new owner.
OTHER INFORMATION
This Midget is delivered very complete with various handy extras that make ownership and maintenance more enjoyable. With the car you receive the special wheel wrenches and a jack, as well as the spare wheel that is fitted with a neat cover. Additionally, there is a special tonneau cover available, which allows you to quickly and easily cover the interior when the car is parked with the top down. In short, this is a fair and characterful MG Midget that can shine again in full glory on the road with a little bit of love."}{
