Description for MG Midget 1976
This is an MG MK IV, hat I got from a customer after he decided not to repair the car, nd didn't want to pay his bill.The car caught fire at a traffic light, he alternator was the cause. The fire spread a little and about all of the repairs needed are done.
At this point the car has a mind of its own. It usually starts well, nd runs for a bit, ut then suddenly cuts out. Spark disappears. Trying to use starter fluid has no results.( just so you know, t's not fuel delivery) I think the replacement distributor we put in the car is defect. (Lucas electronic, s per original)
We replaced the dizzy, ook the engine out and cleaned the engine bay, e painted it. The radiator was tested and re painted. new alternator, oses, oil, nstalled a Facet fuel pump, eplaced master cylinders etc ect. Have a look at the pictures.
There is damage to the paint on the hood ( very slight) fender and the drivers door. The right front tire has a small leak.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. The little car was a real fast little thing, nd I actually anticipate the motor has a sporty cam in it. That seemed to be working really well with the 45 DCOE Weber that is on it.
A friend worked on it for me two years ago, ut he moved out before the car was ready to run. I have no time and since I cannot find any decent help in my shop, decided to shrink the business. Therefor I am loosing the space to store the car. Selling my race car too.
Prior to the fire we had repaired the brakes,(new pads, hoes and rear hardware) and did a tune up, hanged oils and the car ran fine for about 5 weeks before the mishap happened. It really does needs not much, f you can live with the blisters in the paint.
You can find my details when you put my E-Bay name in front of the dot com and check out what we do. The car is in Woodstock, L in my shop and can be seen during business hours or make an appointment. Shipping is for the buyer, nd a $200 deposit is due within 24 hours after closing of the auction.
no warranties, ar is as is, here is.
Thanks!

I added ten pictures of the underside of the car. It seems to be really sound everywhere except one straight line at the rear of the floor pan drivers side. A fairly easy repair, s it is accessible from the inside of the car.
