1974 MG Midget 1275

The Midget Mk III (1966-1974) introduced the 1275cc engine producing 65hp. Revised hood design improved headroom. Later cars (1972+) added rocker switches and restyled grille. The most powerful of the A-series Midgets, offering genuine 100mph performance in a tiny package.

Rust as per earlier cars. 1275cc engine generally reliable but needs regular valve adjustments. Later cars have better electrics. Overdrive rarely fitted - desirable if present. Soft top frame fatigues.

Wire wheels, overdrive (rare). Factory hardtop. Rostyle wheels on later cars acceptable. Chrome bumper spec (pre-1974). Roll bar for track use.
