MG Midget competition car - For Sale

Yes, my own Mg Midget sprint/hillclimb car is up for sale. Anyone seriously interested please contact me - find my contact details on my main website (there's a link above).

1966 MG Midget, the car is road legal, and has just been MOTed and is of course tax exempt.

I built the car 4 years ago on a brand new shell. Every part on the car is either new or rebuilt. Over 10k spent on parts alone. Those aren't ripples on the bonnet, they're the reflection of the clouds in the sky...This in one very presentable and well looked after competition car.
Finished in Tartan red and Old English white - works colours.

Built to comply to MSA rules for the 'road going' class for sprinting and hillclimbing in the up to 1400cc class. The car is competitive, and has the potential to do well. It could be used for many things, including the MGCC sprint championship, and various historic events, subject to rules.

1380cc engine built to a very high standard, superb power curve and dynoed at 107BHP and 95 lbs/ft of torque and has only covered 1000 miles. Straight cut close ratio gearbox, built on a new JK gear set, again, has only covered 1000 miles. Suspension is fully rebuilt and modified, 370lb springs, 3/4 anti roll bar, one off adjustable camber top link conversion (replaces lever arm shock) and AVO adjustable shocks back and front. Also comes with rebuilt lever arm shocks for the front, should you wish to use it for historic events. There are too many small tweaks to list (or that I don't wish to disclose!) but the car is well set up and handles really well - capable of running in the top of its class.
Brand new 4 pot front calipers and discs - only used for one event, again comes with rebuilt original calipers and fittings for historic events.
Comes with various spares, hard top and soft top, 2 sets of wheels and tyres (road tyres and soft compound Yokohama track tyres)

I could literally write pages on the car, but the easiest thing is if any potential buyers give me a call.

Looking for offers in the region of £7000
