Vehicle Description
Now available in our Dallas Ft. Worth showroom, Gateway Classic
Cars is proud to offer this beautiful 1961 MG Midget for sale. This
first version, was essentially a slightly more expensive badge
engineered version of the MkII Austin Healey Sprite. The original
frogeye Sprite had been introduced specifically to fill the gap in
the market left by the end of production of the MG T-type Midget as
its replacement, the MGA had been a significantly larger and more
expensive car with greater performance. Many existing MG buyers
turned to the Sprite to provide a modern low-cost sports car and so
a badge-engineered MG version reusing the Midget name made sense.
The new Midget differed from the Sprite only in its grille design,
badging, color options and having both leather seats and more
external chrome trim as standard to justify its higher purchase
price. This Midget was rebuilt in 2014, including the engine and
transmission along with new paint and interior, with all receipts
available of the whole process. This two seater is a blast to drive
and handles great. Come see it today for yourself, you wont be
disappointed. Don't miss your opportunity to own this 1961 MG
Midget. To view this vehicle in greater detail including 100+ HD
