An astonishing, true time warp car! Genuine mileage and unrestored, factory original condition. We are delighted to offer this unique car, owned until recently by Richard Hammond of 'Top Gear' and 'The Grand Tour' fame. The car is one of the very last MG Midgets to be made and has covered just under 8,000 miles from new. It is in immaculate, original condition inside and out. We are confident it will thrill the next owner, an excellent investment.

All our vehicles are available for viewing in our dry, well lit storage facility which is nearby. Viewing by appointment only please, preferably Thursday, Friday or Saturday morning when you can assure you our best of attention.

Bodywork

Protected with advanced underbody seal from new and in rust free condition.

Mechanical

Starts, drives and handles like new. Meticulously maintained. The engine and gearbox are smooth and quiet and a reminder of how few miles this car has covered from new.

Exterior

A glistening sports convertible with stunning original black paint and pristine black rubber bumpers, hood is in excellent order with a clear back window.

Interior

All black and in beautiful, clean and almost unmarked condition.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.

  • When you own a classic car knowing where to get the best spare parts is crucial. We have a dedicated Parts Manager who will track down the best quality and hardest to find part for your car, we like to call this Automotive Archaeology, if it’s available ... we will find it.


  • Classic cars are special, and we can provide MOT testing for yours.


  • We clean and air dry the underside of your cherished classic and treat with a choice of clear or black waxoyl.


  • If you need to store your classic car for a short period or more long term, wouldn't it be reassuring to know that it was being stored by a highly skilled professional team who love their work?


  • When your car is with us we have a wide selection of courtesy cars for you to use.
