1977 MG MIDGET

NO RESERVE

Thanks for checking out "Oscar" my 1977 MG Midget. I absolutely love these little cars, ery fun to drive, hey handle awesome, nd are just a delight to look at. I have had this one for about a year now and take it out on outings often, ut lately he has been sitting on the sides lines next to my Messerschmitt project, nd I need to free up so cash, o I am going to find him a new home. I have known this car since around 2007, neighbor of mine had him, nd tinkered with it for the last 8 years. He had his eye on a car that I had for many years, nd one day, oyle (previous retired neighbor) pulled in my driveway, nd he wanted to trade me Oscar for the other car, o that is how I got him. This Midget is very solid, O RUST or rust repairs, riginal floors, ockers, ll look very clean, ice truck area, o signs of any damage, ll inner aprons are clean, o accident damage, nder hood looks good, umpers etc. Please check out the photos, scar is a solid little car, echanically he is very sound, uns very good, hifts and brakes great. Give me a call if you want to discuss it more. Thanks, ason 503-910-2085

Condition: The paint is a veryamateurpaint job at best, it does have a nice shine to it, ut at the end of the day, ou may want to paint it again down the road possibly and give it a good restoration, ut for now, t looks good, nd you can drive it and enjoy, aybe even bring it to a few weekend cruise nights and enjoy yourself. It looks great from20ft away, nder lights you see more flaws. Out in the natural light, r sun, t looks good, ou see flaws here and therebut looks like a verydecent car, ost people wouldn't notice, ut as you come closer, ou will notice things about the paint, ots of sanding scratches, little wavy down the sides. Originally a light yellow. I would say paint is about 20 years old. These cars are subject to rust back in the day, s you already know if you owned these cars before, nd that is what is amazing about this one, o rust, o rust repairs very clean, ou are starting out with a very good car structurally. It is very solid, ittle car check out the photos underneath. The grill and bumpers are in really nice condition. Overall, he car structurally is in pretty good shape. Take a look at the photos and you will get a very good idea of what it is and isn’t.

Mechanically it is in pretty good shape, t has a manual choke, ou push on it instead of pull, o all the way in is choke etc. Anyways, t starts right up, ush on choke at it fires up good. The Engine starts right up, nd sounds great. There is normal engine oil residue, ut no major oil leaks currently, aybe a drop or 2 when it sits, ut pretty minimal. Theseengines are very good runners, ery dependableand have plenty of power.It does notsmoke or burn oil,exhaust is clean. The transmission is a standard 4spd manual on the floor. The transmission shifts nice, lutch feels good, o drive line or rear end noise. It shifts nicely, oes not pop out of gear, reverse works well. No transmission noise, ounds nice and tight. The rearend, eels good no slop in it or howl.The exhaust is in good shape no holes, ut you may want to install muffler, ight now it sounds very peppy (which I like, ersonally) but easy to add if you wanted. The brakes work very good, nd do notpull, nbsp;stops nice and straight. The suspension is all stock and actually drives pretty nice, was pretty surprised, set of new shocks would be helpful, own the road, I don't think the suspension has ever been rebuilt, ut if feels good going down the road. As you can see from the engine compartment, t isoriginal looking, nd very stock besides the common Weber Carb update. Just general maintenance items through the years. Tires are in good shape, little older but have even wear on them, nd about 70% tread. Overall mechanically the Midget seems to be in good shape, bviously will need a little tinkering here and there, ut mechanically it is good.

Interior is in great shape. The seats are in good shape, eats feel good, hey show a little wear, river seat ha s a small burn mark in it, ee close up, don’t think it is a cigarette burn, ust look like something got hot on it. Overall the interior is pretty clean, arpet is in excellent shape. This is something that I for sure would take my wife out on a date in, t is notdirty inside, ery clean, or a its age. Very nice looking inside not perfect but very nice for a driver and very comfortable to ride in.Non Smoker, ery pleasant.Everything seems to be working inside. The wiper switch is a little sticky, t has 2 speeds, ou have to fiddle with it a little bit, he contacts probably need cleaned. The exterior lights all work, ack up lights, ic. Plate etc. The Marker lights work when the headlights are on, ut if you have them on in just marker light mode, hey flicker a little but sometimes work, ut mostly don’t, think something is wrong with switch, ecause they work when headlights are on. The heater does work, he blower does not blow real hard, ot sure if they did from the factory. The glass is in nice shape as well, o cracks, r chips. Thedoor glass rolls down nicely. Overall a great looking interior for a driver. All in all this MG is a great old car but just needs some sorting out I am sure here in there, ts British, ol. The top is okay, here is a cut in it on the passenger side under corner window were it has a small patch, o hold water out, he top has shrunk a little bit, o when it is cold out side, t takes a little bit to stretch it to get it all snapped but you can get it latched. It will need a new rubber gasket between the top and the windshield, ir goes through it, asket is missing, am going to try and find something that will work for time being. Overall the interior is in good shape for a decent driver. The radio, emp guage and horn currently are not working work as well. Overall though a great little car.

Oscar was not built to be a show car, hough you will be able to show him if you like, t was built to be a nice little driver, aint looks a little nicer in photos, ut I tried my best to give you some close ups, ut in the bright light, ooks pretty good though still. I have been selling classic cars here on eBay since 2003, 2 years now, ith around 600 classic cars sold over the internet. What I love about these old cars, s that I get to own some of my favorite cars one at a time, have turned this passion into a business, ut for me it is an awesome time to enjoy the cars themselves.

maiden voyage around the block during a test drive. It has a its original Oregon plate, ut it needs to be restored and painted.
