When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones inherited from the Frog Eye Sprite and front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.

Finished in Riviera Blue matched to a Blue interior 'MCH 989D' was the subject to a bare shell restoration which was completed in 2006. Repatriated back from California in the early 2000's the Midget went on in 2012 to win 1st in class at the MGOC Northern National in Harrogate. Offered with photographs of the restoration, extensive collection of invoices for parts, old MOTs and V5C this smart Midget is believed to be in its original colour combination and also to have matching chassis and engine numbers.
