The need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation saw MG revise the design of its Midget sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version (as it was unofficially known) was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing 'rubber bumpers'. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 1500cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its tidy handling, the MkIV was well received by the press and public alike.

Understood to be one of the last 500 home-market made, which were all finished in Black, 'OWT 220W' is matched to a Black interior with Red piped seats and a walnut dashboard. The subject of a recent service which included oil, filter, points, plugs, condenser, distributing cap and fluids, the lMG is fitted with wire wheels and comes with a full tonneau and hood cover. Offered with a history file and current V5C document, the MG is said to drive 'amazingly well'.
