Description for MG Midget 1979

Hello! Ok, f you are reading this, ou know what these cars were / are / can be. As I look at cars like these, person is the caretaker... not necessarily the permanent owner. Well, t is time for someone else to be the caretaker and keep this beauty on the road. I believe I am the third or fourth owner. I have no history of the car prior to picking it up in 2011 from a small dealer who got it at an auction. All I know is it has been TONS of fun!The FactsBody in very good condition, ith 4 rust spots on the passenger side (see pictures) and three of those are from previous repairs someone did. Other small rust areas it little nooks by windows. Rockers and floors solid. It looks like floors were redone by someone at some time.Interior is complete but worn. Tunnel carpet fade (A $6 re-dye spray can solve). Driver's seat bottom has seam split, ust needs to be resewn.All (yes, ll) electrics work. Wiringsystem replaced with modern fuses by specialty shop familiar with Lucas.
