This MG Midget got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1962 MG Midget was restored and modified under previous ownership and was acquired by the current owner in 2023. The car is powered by a retrofitted 1,275ccc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in Ruby Red over black vinyl. Equipment includes electronic ignition, dual SU carburetors, a Magnaflow muffler, front disc brakes, 13″ Minilite-style wheels, chrome bumpers, a cabin heater, and a Sony CD stereo. This Midget shows 23k miles and is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with restoration photos, spare and removed parts, service records, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The car was refinished under previous ownership in Ruby Red and features door-mounted side mirrors, chrome finished bumpers, and a single exhaust outlet with a polished slash-cut finisher. The seller notes bubbling in the paint on the front fenders and chips on the rear quarter panels. A replacement black soft top and associated framework are included in the sale.

The two-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap and fronts a black-finished dashboard that houses a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles, less than 1k of which were added under current ownership.
