SUMMARY

Smart Woodland Green TD Midget, an older restoration recently resident on the Isle of Man.

DESCRIPTION

  • The first MG sports car to feature independent double wishbone front suspension, rack and pinion steering and twin leading-shoe front brakes, the TD-Series Midget was powered by the proven 1,250cc XPAG engine with a 4-speed manual transmission and was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg 
  • This smart example is finished in Woodland Green with Apple Green leather and a black hood
  • Restored to a superb useable level in recent years after being purchased as a rolling project in 2016
  • The rebuild involved all panels being removed and refinished as required, an engine rebuild and a full rewire but it had previously been retrimmed to a good level
  • Reportedly running and driving well but, with little use in recent years, minor recommissioning may be required
  • UK mainland-registered in the past but more recently resident and registered in the Isle of Man. Now in the UK but will need to be re-registered here
