Comments from the seller
1971 MG Midget Mk III
Offered for sale is my 1971 MG Midget Mk III, presented in outstanding condition and the recipient of one National and nine Western Australian Concours d'Elegance awards.
Affectionately known as "Bridget", this Australian-assembled MG Midget has been lovingly owned, maintained and enjoyed for the past 17 years. During that time it has been carefully preserved to an exceptionally high standard, earning numerous concours awards and admiration wherever it is displayed.
After taking on a couple of major projects, the time has come for her next custodian to enjoy, preserve and continue her story.
Condition
This MG presents superbly inside and out. The paintwork is excellent, the engine bay is meticulously detailed, and the car drives exactly as a well-sorted classic British roadster should.
Presented substantially in factory-correct specification, reflecting the standards required for successful Concours competition.
Every aspect of the vehicle has been maintained to a very high standard, making it equally suited to concours events, club runs, weekend touring, or simply being enjoyed on a sunny day.
