Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is extremely proud to present this stunning 1973 Mg Midget. A beautiful coat of Harvest Gold is layered on the vintage body lines of this chrome-bumper MG. The black convertible top is in great condition, and shows virtually no wear. The entire car saw a full cosmetic restoration, bringing it to the quality that you see here. This is arguably one of the highest quality MG Midgets on the market. The engine is mechanically sound with no odd smells, sounds, or feels. The transmission shifts smoothly from gear to gear with very positive feedback. The clutch grabs strong, and the brakes safely slow this compact convertible with ease. In the early 2000s the MG saw a frame-up restoration, and it shows. The car has been very well cared for since then and has only been driven in good weather. This is a great opportunity to own a collector grade MG that can still be enjoyed on the road.
