Lot 2042
A number of machines can claim to have become cultural icons with the Yamaha FS1E or "Fizzy" being one such. The sight and sound of one of these little two strokes will instantly conjure long forgotten memories for riders of the generation that took their first steps on a motorcycle during the late seventies and early eighties to a post punk soundtrack. The FS1E may not have been the fastest sports moped available, but it proved to be one of the most resilient withstanding the abuse of its teenaged owners with remarkable fortitude and has come to be regarded as the eponymous "sixteener special". Today, the FS1E is highly sought after by those seeking to revive those memories. This very tidy 1977 example, finished in the yellow "Kenny Roberts" livery is described by the vendor as being in very good condition throughout having been the subject of a "90% restoration" that included, in addition to the paintwork, a new wiring loom. It is offered with a Swansea V5C and an MOT certificate valid until the 29th April 2015.
Lot 2088
Following Paul Smart's success at the 1972 Imola 200 Formula 750 race aboard one of a brace of specially prepared desmodromic vee twin's promises of a replica were fulfilled in 1974 when a single batch of round case 750cc Super Sports were built as homologation specials. The new machines, running on 40 mm Dell'Ortos and equipped with Conti silencers (!) exuded an air of purpose. Barley legal for the road they remain the most sought after of all the exotic racing derived Ducati machines. Fortunately for enthusiasts everywhere, in 1975 Ducati introduced the 900Ss, a machine that shared the same dna as its predecessor whilst being built in greater numbers. The new model adopted the square case 860cc engine was retaining the cycle parts of the 750SS. Thus in its initial form the new model ran on wire spoked wheels, and was fitted with the half fairing and single seat together with the fibreglass fuel tank first seen on the 750SS. The following year the model, now in regular production, adopted a steel fuel tank and Lanfranconi silencers together with indicators, Veglia instruments, 32mm carburettors and an air cleaner. The new silencer and smaller carburettors robbed the model of some of its performance but the presence of a pair of the larger carburettors and a set of Conti's (often supplied with the machine) soon restored the performance. The 1981 example offered has been in the same family ownership from new and is described as being a "totally stock bike" that has never been restored and is presented in "good running order". It is offered with a selection of spares and retains the original silencers. The bike displays 48,000 miles on its odometer and is offered with a Mot certificate valid until the 5th June 2015 together with a Swansea V5C.
Lot 4005
- Originally 1 of just 500 right-hand drive examples built - Re-shelled during the late 1980s using a 3.0 CSA (E9) donor - Factory re-manufactured 3.2 litre M30 engine, laid-up since 1999 Further Info: Conceived as a homologation special, the 3.0 CSL won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and every year from 1975 to 1979 inclusive. 1 of only 500 examples built to right-hand drive specification, chassis 2285486 was first road registered by Nottinghamshire County Council on 3rd September 1973 (or so its `WAL 857M' number plate would imply). Showing just four former keepers to its V5C Registration Document, the BMW belonged to the late Mr Robert Johnson of Lytham St Annes from 1988 - 2014. Reportedly re-shelled (using a 3.0 CSA donor) shortly after acquisition, Mr Johnson's custodianship is further understood to have seen `WAL 857M' fitted with a replacement factory remanufactured engine before being laid-up during 1999. Mr John Castle of the BMW CS Register has kindly informed us that such `factory remanufactured' powerplants typically benefited from the following new parts: engine block, crankshaft, v-belt pulley, vibration damper, cylinder head (including camshaft and valve train), rocker cover, timing chain cover, sump, oil pump, water pump and thermostat etc. A 3.2 litre Bosch D-Jetronic fuel-injected M30 unit, the straight-six is said to (a) have been got running last year after fuel was introduced directly into its inlet manifold and (b) have covered a modest post-installation mileage. Sporting an authentic CSL-type three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, Scheel sports seats, alloy bonnet/boot/doors and Alpina wheels, the Coupe also has the number 04DA4917994 stamped into its offside top strut (intriguingly Alpina later used the same location for build numbers while their UK agents were Sytners of Nottingham). Showing an unwarranted 29,517 miles to its odometer, `WAL 857M' entered the current ownership via our June 2014 Rockingham Castle sale for £14,972. Sadly ill health has prevented the vendor from undertaking the recommissioning / restoration work that this appealing BMW requires. Offered for sale strictly as viewed, it is accompanied by a UK V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.
Lot 4011
- Conversion from left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupe - Engine overhauled, hood replaced, recent front brake discs and calipers - c.900 miles since completion Further info: Introduced in May 1957, the XK150 was the last Jaguar sports car to utilise a separate chassis. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of Jaguar's Le Mans-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. At launch, the XK150 was offered in Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe guises, the Roadster option following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type in 1961, some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drophead Coupes and 2,265 Roadsters are thought to have been produced. Upon purchase of this right hand drive manual transmission 3.4-litre drophead coupe conversion in 2013, the vendor was informed it had been created by a father and son team (based on lefthand drive Fixed Head Coupe chassis number S836774DN) over a period of five years between 2000 and 2005. Whilst no invoices exist for their labours, he advises the work was carried out to a high standard and included a comprehensive engine overhaul, retrimming of the interior in Parchment leather, a new hood and lining being sourced together with the fitment of new MWS chrome wire wheels. Following completion of the car's transformation we understand the DVLA issued the vehicle with a new chassis number which is recorded on the V5. This document appears to show the engine number incorrectly as V 7298-8 since the cylinder head is stamped V 4298-8. Having spent a number of subsequent years in storage it is believed just 900 miles have been covered since completion as evidenced by the odometer reading. More recent works include the fitting of new front discs and brake callipers earlier this year. Perfect for the approaching summer, the car is offered with a Swansea V5 document and current MoT expiring on 12 January 2016.
Lot 4015
- Formerly the property of well-known Rover enthusiast Bernard Gee - Six-cylinder engine of 2147cc giving a maximum speed of 75mph - Rewired, headlining replaced, clutch reconditioned, working sunroof, towbar, luggage Further info: The former property of well-known Rover enthusiast Bernard Gee for many years, this P2 Sports Saloon is attractively finished in maroon with black wings complimented by a maroon leather interior. Powered by a six-cylinder engine of 2147cc giving a maximum speed of 75mph, it has been in the current ownership since 2012 during which time it has benefited from being rewired, replacement of the headlining and reconditioning of the clutch. Features include a working sunroof, towbar, luggage to the boot and a set of tools in the tool drawer. Described as having "very good" bodywork and paintwork with "good" engine and "very good" interior, this imposing Rover is accompanied by a history file containing photographs of a past restoration, two old-style continuation logbooks, Swansea V5, assorted invoices and a collection of MoTs dating from 1972 to 2014.
Lot 4019
- The best 964-series Turbo that we have offered thus far - Development engineer owned since 2003 and 86,700km recorded - Sympathetic but reversible upgrades by Ninemeister and RUF Further Info: Notable as the last of the rear-wheel drive, forced induction, air-cooled 911s (aside from the homologation special 993-series GT2), the 964-series Turbo is now beginning to receive the market attention it deserves. Introduced at the March 1990 Geneva Motor Show, a mere 3,660 Turbo II 3.3 litre cars are understood to have been made. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 168mph `out of the box', the model has proven amenable to significant tuning. Supplied new to Germany, this particular example is the best 964-series Turbo II 3.3 litre that we have thus far had the pleasure of offering for sale. Thought to have had just a single keeper prior to being imported to the UK during 1997, it has been in the current (second UK) ownership for the past twelve years. A development engineer whose CV includes stints at Cosworth, Roush, Ilmor and Shell, the vendor specifically chose a left-hand drive car on the basis that that is how Porsche had originally laid out the 964. Despite being a `hands on' enthusiast, he has done very little work to `J880 SWL' himself instead entrusting it to Warrington-based marque specialist Ninemeister on an annual basis (its last service being carried out on 23rd September 2014). The same company were responsible for reworking the Porsche's original engine so that it produced some 438hp and 582Nm during a May 2007 dyno test. Impressively, this sizeable jump in power and torque has been achieved (a) without an increase in turbo boost (which remains at the standard 0.7 bar) and (b) whilst making the flat-six less laggy and more tractable. Boasting a high-flow intake system, sports catalyst with standard rear silencer, RS single mass flywhweel and clutch plus stainless steel equal length exhaust manifolds, the 3.3 litre powerplant has its outputs metered via a five-speed G50 manual gearbox and special carbonetic LSD. Uprated KW suspension gives an extra measure of control, while a personal meeting between the seller and Alois Ruf led to the Porsche gaining RUF number plate surrounds, RUF exhaust tips and RUF 18-inch alloy wheels shod with Continental N2 tyres (as per Mr Ruf's recommendation). Kept in a dehumidified, insulated garage the Porsche shows no signs of bodywork corrosion and is believed to be still wearing its factory Polar Silver paintwork. The front seats feature 12-way electrical adjustment (a desirable option) and are trimmed in Black leather as are the door cards, dashboard, roof lining, sun visors and instrument surrounds. A Porsche non-airbag steering wheel has been installed together with a more modern Blaupunkt stereo (CD changer / DAB / SD card reader / iPod dock) and discreetly integrated Genesis Profile 5 amplifier. The ABS-backed four-wheeled vented disc brakes are standard and the air-conditioning is in full working order. The odometer currently shows some 86,695km (53,847 miles) which is deemed to represent the total covered from new. The vendor has pleasingly kept almost all the original parts so that `J880 SWL' can be returned to factory specification should a new owner so wish (the only exception being the initial wheels and tyres). Worthy of close inspection, this pampered 911 Turbo II 3.3 litre is offered for sale with extensive history file, book pack, original tool wrap, tyre compressor, correct Porsche tyre pressure gauge and first aid kit.
Lot 4028
- Thought to be 1 of just 50 known survivors worldwide - A former award winner and uprated with 1.5-litre engine - Recent re-trim and ownership trace / history back to 1952 Further Info: The A40 Sports made its debut at the 1949 Earl's Court Motor Show. An aluminium-bodied convertible variant of the A40 Saloon, it was designed and manufactured in partnership with Jensen Motors. Some 4,011 had been produced by the time production ceased in 1953. `MUV 691' is thought to be one of only 50 Austin A40 Sports models remaining worldwide. A former award winner, it was restored between 1976 and 1980 and is now tidily presented with Metallic Grey bodywork matched to Red-piped Grey interior trim. The vendor informs us that a 1500cc engine has recently supplanted the original 1200cc unit, making the drop-top Austin `more driver-friendly'. It has also recently benefited from a new clutch, exhaust and re-trim. The Austin is now offered complete with an extensive file containing numerous copy invoices, photographs and old MOTs; plus a list of all owners dating back to 1952, many of which are confirmed by the original log books.
Lot 4032
- Owned since 2004 and just 4 former keepers - New hood and liner fitted in 2014 - c.64,600 miles with MoT to March 2016 Further info: Launched in September 1975, the XJ-S was designed by Malcolm Sayer with input from Sir William Lyons. Effectively a replacement for the legendary E-Type, it was nevertheless a luxurious, high-speed Grand Tourer rather than a race-bred Sports Car, and powered by a fuel-injected version of Jaguar's silky 5.3-litre V12 unit mated to either manual or automatic transmission. First registered on 5th May 1989, this 5.3-litre convertible has been in the current ownership since 2004 and registers just four former keepers on the accompanying Swansea V5 document. Finished in black with Magnolia leather, it is described as being in "good" condition regarding its bodywork, engine, paintwork, automatic transmission and interior, whilst there is some lifting of the veneer on the interior woodwork. In 2012 the car was fitted with new rear brake discs and pads with a new hood and liner together with a battery being fitted in 2014. Registering some 64,600 miles on its odometer, it is offered with a Swansea V5 and a current MoT expiring 3rd March 2016.
Lot 4035
- Based on a shortened Silver Eagle SF/SG-type 'double dropped' chassis - Speed 25SB 3.5 litre straight-six allied to 4-speed all-synchromesh gearbox - FIVA ID card and veteran of numerous rallies and trials Further Info: Created by its previous keeper, Mr James McNally of Oswesty, during the early 2000s, this handsome Alvis Special comprises a shortened Silver Eagle SF/SG-type `double dropped' chassis (complete with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes), Speed 25SB 3.5 litre straight-six engine, four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox and 19-inch `jelly mould' wire wheels. Finished in Dark Green with Black leather upholstery, its handsome Vanden Plas-esque two-seater body plays host to a rear-mounted fuel tank, wooden dashboard, 12volt power socket and full length hood (but no sidescreens). Further developed since entering the current ownership in 2005, the past decade has seen `FRY 863' treated to an engine overhaul (new white metal bearings, pistons, gaskets etc), replacement wiring and taller rear axle ratio. Converted from centre to outside throttle, the Alvis also sports a remote oil filter, electric cooling fan, alternator, side-exit exhaust and halogen headlights all of which make it better suited to tour and rally usage. A veteran of numerous CRA Winter Trials, `FRY 863' has, among others, also contested: HERO's 2008 Celtic Malts, Denis Greenslade's 2010 Cape-to-Cape Grand Tour (Cape Cornwall to Cape Finisterre) and ERA's 2014 1st Alpine Trial (finishing 5th-in-class). Although its accompanying V5C gives a date of first registration as 12th January 1949, the Alvis is self-evidently constructed from pre-WW2 components and when inspected by FIVA during 2011 was classified as E/3 and dated to 1935. The same document lists a kerb weight of 1160kg which in conjunction with the Special's torquey 3.5 litre engine explains why the vendor says it simply romps up mountain passes. Maintained with assistance from the Alvis Owners' Club's archivist, `FRY 863' started readily upon inspection and is only being offered for sale because the vendor wishes to downsize his collection. A tempting proposition, this seemingly rapid and well-sorted Alvis Special comes with the aforementioned FIVA ID card, UK V5C Registration Document and sundry other papers.
Lot 4036
- 1 of 77 made with a mere 12 known to have survived - Well-known in Singer circles and treated to an extensive restoration - A former multiple concours winner with current ownership for c.34 years Further info: During the early to mid 1930s the rivalry between Singer and MG was notably intense with both marques distinguishing themselves at Le Mans and on countless trials held over the length and breadth of Britain. Aimed at the expanding six-cylinder sportscar market, the Singer 1.5 Litre Sports Tourer was introduced in 1933. Discernibly larger than its MG K1 equivalent, the newcomer was styled in-house by Eric Neale. With its prominent radiator grille, cut-away doors, full-flowing wings and sloping tail, the Singer bore quite some resemblance to Lagonda's contemporaneous M45. Based on a lowered version of its Fourteen sibling's ladder-frame chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic 13-inch drum brakes, the 1.5 Litre Sports was powered by a 1493cc OHC six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. A spritely yet well-mannered car, it rode on 18-inch Rudge knock-off wire wheels and was capable of cruising at 60-70mph. Priced at £295 but only available during 1933 and 1934, just 77 1.5 Litre Sports Four-Seater Tourers were made of which a mere 12 are known to have survived. First registered in Glasgow on 23rd March 1934, chassis R2014 was purchased by the vendor, Geoff Gibson, from Paradise Garage some forty-five years later. Well-known in Singer circles, Mr Gibson subsequently treated the 1.5 Litre Sports to an extensive restoration. A former multiple concours award winner at shows around the country, `US 5285' has since developed a beautiful patina. Pleasingly understood to be a `matching numbers' car, the four-seater is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox ,electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale for the first time in thirty-four years, this rare Singer is worthy of close inspection.
Lot 4044
- 65,585 recorded miles and offered with history file - Fitted with Webasto roof and wooden dashboard - Expected to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale Further info: The home market MKII GT on offer sports Red bodywork teamed with a contrasting Black interior. Desirable extras include a Webasto sunroof and a wood-effect facia. The vendor describes the MG as 'mechanically very good' and is now offering it complete with history file. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 65,585 miles. Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MGB was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MGA models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. It was initially only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, a revised rear axle, and a switch from dynamo to alternator. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit.
Lot 4052
- A notably late Lotus Cortina MKI built in August 1966 - Converted into a Stage / Road Rally Car during 1999-2000 - New OMP seats, TRS harnesses and fresh MOT certificate Further Info: First road registered by London County Council on 15th September 1966, `KUC 964D' began life as a standard road going Lotus Cortina MKI (albeit a notably late example of the 3,306 made). Assorted photos and invoices on file show that it was reconfigured as a stage / road rally car some fifteen years ago. Though, whether or not its transformation involved a re-shell is unknown. The current monocoque appears authentic and as well as being gusseted and strengthened boasts such correct-type features as a small hump boot floor and original tramp bar mountings (rather than modified Escort ones). Opening the boot reveals an alloy fuel tank, offside-mounted battery, twin pumps, well secured spare wheel / jack / brace and stickers for the 2000 Premier Rally, 2000 Astra Stages, 2000 Robin Hood Forest Stages Rally, 2001 Cossack Rally, 2001 East Anglian Classic, 2001 John Overend Memorial Stages Rally, 2003 Bruce Robinson Rally, 2003 29th Targa Rusticana and 2007 Robin Hood Historic Forest Stages Rally. Dormant for several years, recent recommissioning has seen `KUC 964D' treated to new FIA-compliant OMP T-RS XL front bucket seats, TRS harnesses and Minilite-style alloy wheels. Starting readily upon inspection, its 1.6 litre engine sports twin Weber carburettors and green-painted cam covers (as fitted to Special Equipment models). As well as its iconic Alan Mann livery, the Ford plays host to a 170mph speedometer, Brantz International 2 Pro Rally Meter, passenger footbrace-mounted horn button, substantial rollcage, oversize wash / wipe switches and retro Gold Leaf Team Lotus / East African Safari stickers. Described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this nicely presented Fast Ford is offered for sale with Stage Logbook, MSA Historic Rally Identify Form, expired FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form and current MOT certificate valid until March 2016.
Lot 4059
- Gordini evocation finished in Blue with Black sports trim - Offered with original service book containing stamps up to 1984 - Fitted with 'split rim' alloy wheels and rally spot lamps Further info: This racey-looking Evocation recalls memories of the competition Renaults that took a hat-trick of victories on the Tour de Corse rally and helped discover such racing stars as the Jean-Pierres Jabouille and Jarier. By the launch of the Dauphine-based R8 model in 1962, former race driver and constructor Amedeo Gordini had been retained by Renault to add some pep to its cooking Saloons, and it was fitting that the fastest of the R8 derivatives, the Renault 8 Gordini, should carry his name. Originally only available in Blue with two stick-on White stripes, it sported a tuned engine of 89bhp mated to a four-speed close-ratio gearbox. Handling was tamed by uprated suspension. The Evocation offered rides on split-rim alloy wheels and features a sports steering wheel and a quartet of spot lights. It comes complete with the original service book containing stamps to 1984 and a selection of old Spanish MOTs.
Lot 4078
- Three keepers from new and 88,600 recoded miles - Large collection of restoration invoices totalling c. £7,000 - 1 of just 420 LE roadsters made and fresh MOT Further Info: The Limited Edition (LE) MGBs were the final iteration of this ever-popular British sports car prior to the sad closure of MG's Abingdon factory in October 1980. The total production run was 1,000 - 580 Pewter-coloured GTs, and 420 Roadsters finished in a distinctive shade of Bronze and trimmed in striped orange and brown cloth. The three-owner LE Roadster now offered was first registered in March 1981. It has been in the current ownership for the last five years, prior to which (ie between 2003 and 2007) it was treated to a c.£7,000 refurbishment that included a total respray and Waxoyl underbody treatment. At the same time it was fitted with new: electronic ignition system, uprated front discs and rear springs, adjustable gas dampers, hood and frame, seats, Moto-Lita steering wheel, and Kenwood radio/cassette unit. A clearly fine example that features the desirable overdrive gearbox and currently exhibits an unwarranted 88,600 miles.
Lot 4079
- 1 of just c.45 known survivors and extensively restored 1999-2004 - Current family ownership since 1980 and original engine / body - Rare and desirable Vintage Tourer with 3.2-litre straight-six engine Further Info: The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show, the 20/60 was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever rear) and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 3181cc seven-bearing OHV straight-six allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting). Available in Tourer, Sports Model, Enclosed Limousine and Enclosed Landaulette guises, some 1,560 20/60s were made before production ceased during 1926. Though, today only 45 or so are known to have survived. First registered by Liverpool County Council on 24th June 1925, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that `KC 9684' belonged to D. Forbes Keir Esq. post WW2 and relocated with him from Wallasey to London during August 1951. Acquired by Thomas Edward Brown Esq. of Byfleet, Surrey - and later The Sunbeams, Tolleshunt Knights, Essex - some eleven years later, the 20/60 has been in the current family ownership since August 1980. An MOT certificate issued that same year gave the Tourer's recorded mileage as 41,827, while its odometer currently shows 43,700 miles. Part of a large private collection for the past thirty-five years, `KC 9684' was treated to an extensive refurbishment from 1999-2004. I.S. Polson carried out some early mechanical work but Arthur Archer of Dunmow completed the majority. Stripped to a bare chassis, the Sunbeam had attention paid to its engine (new bearings, pistons, timing chains, crack testing etc), gearbox, back axle (new half shafts), steering box, magneto, dynamo, starter, Autovac, water pump, Claudel Hobson carburettor, suspension, wiring, brakes, hubs and wire wheels. As well as its original straight-six powerplant (number 1286E), the 20/60 pleasingly retains its original Tourer body which was rejuvenated by a Rolls-Royce apprenticed craftsman whose CV includes projects for P&A Wood, Clark & Carter and J.D. Classics. Connolly leather supplied new Maroon leather hides that were fashioned into deep-button upholstery by Barton & Son of Luton, while Robert Smith Coach Trimming of Hemel Hempstead remade the double duck hood and sidescreens. Assorted invoices and handwritten notes on file suggest that the restoration cost in excess of £58,000 which may seem a modest sum given the extent and quality of the work but then again some of the labour was charged at £10 per hour! Having covered circa 1,800 post-refurbishment miles, more recent fettling has seen `KC 9684' treated to a relined clutch (2006) and overhauled radiator (2009). Starting readily and running well upon inspection - the vendor appearing to engage all four gears without difficulty - the Sunbeam now exhibits a gentle patina. Sporting an `Old Bill' radiator mascot, well-stocked wooden dashboard, rear-mounted luggage trunk, secondary Auster screen, Rotax head- / sidelights, `diver's helmet' rear lights and twin side-mounted spare wheels etc, the 20/60 is beautifully detailed. A decidedly handsome and imposing Vintage Tourer, this `Supreme Sunbeam' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with fresh MOT certificate and history file containing a period instruction handbook, sundry restoration photos, numerous old MOTs (dating back to 1968) and myriad restoration bills / invoices.
Lot 4080
- Prepared as a Category 1 historic rally car with rear roll cage - Works style hardtop, new springs and minilite-type alloy wheels - A rewarding project in need of finishing Further info : 'LFD 319E' is a righthand drive MKIII Midget that's been set up for Category 1 (ie pre-1968) historic rallying. It sports a rear roll cage that nestles underneath a Works style hardtop. New spinners retain equally fresh period-style wheels. The vendor can't vouch for the pedigree of the car's 1275cc A Series engine or four-speed manual gearbox, but currently classes its bodywork and Red paintwork as 'good' and the Black interior trim as 'OK'. The 1961 MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a different suit of clothes. It started life powered by a 948cc BMC 'A' Series engine. Braking was by drums all-round. Matters greatly improved with the MKIII version of 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1098cc to 1275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones, and the front drum brakes had given way to discs.
