Comments from the seller

Keenly priced this 1978 MG Midget was imported from California years ago and remains rust free. The 1500cc engine is strong and travels through the gears well. Starts first time as has recently had a few modernisations to make it reliable ie carbs , electric fuel pump, alternator etc. A very presentable and drivable car. Tonneau etc all good. On club registration. A great way to start enjoying the fun of a classic British sports car.
