As the title says, I have a 1976 MG Midget for sale. VIN is GANGVG184886. It has roughly 69992 original miles on it at the time of this posting. It does run and is driveable, but it needs a bit of work.The tires are in good shape with a reasonable amount of tread on them, and the engine fires right up. It does not currently have a top, but I do have the (unattached) frame to go with the car. It is also missing the gearshift knob.The previous owner installed a Flamethrower electronic ignition and coil as well as an upgraded (aftermarket) exhaust header and larger Weber downdraft carburetor. The original radiator fan and clutch have also been replaced with an electric fan. In order to accomplish this, however, it was also apparently necessary to remove the heater.There are (surprise, surprise!) some electrical gremlins that need to be worked out, as there are with virtually all British cars like this. The choke cable has been clipped and will need to be repaired, and there is no horn. The signal lamps work intermittently as well. I had planned on upgrading the electrical system to a modern blade-style fuse system, but I never was able to find the time to dive into that.I do have two complete Haynes manuals as well as a laminated, full-color wiring schematic that will prove helpful in working on the electrics.Like I said, though, it does run. Turn the key and it fires up right away. I've taken it on little jaunts through my neighborhood and it never gave me any problems.Thanks for looking!
