Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car runs and drives well, with the engine, gearbox, and brakes performing nicely once warmed up to operating temperature. The carburetor might need an adjustment, but most older MGs experience similar issues when cold. The speedometer needle also bounces around. It has attractive wheels with chrome hubs and good older tires.
-
Interior condition
Interior is nice and clean, featuring bucket seats similar to those in the MGA, a clean dashboard, and nice gauges. The carpets are in good condition, though they are a little loose in places and just need regluing. The car comes with a clip-on roof and frame in good condition, with just a small hole (see picture). Additionally, a clip-on tonneau cover is included, which is much easier to use.
-
Exterior condition
The bodywork is clean and undamaged, with no notable rust issues. The floors and underbody are solid and free from damage. The paintwork is clean and shiny, with a few small scratches, chips, and a small blister on the wing (see pictures). The chrome work all around is shiny, but there are rust blisters on the rear bumper corner.
-
General condition
This fun car is a joy to drive and is cheap and easy to maintain, making it a great summer car for anyone to enjoy.

Facts about the model
In spring 1961, the car was modified with a completely new front and rear. The front now had a more ordinary appearance than before, and the rear was equipped with a lockable trunk lid and tail lights borrowed from the soon-to-be-launched MGB. The cockpit was extended and gained space behind the seats. The engine remained at 948cc but was updated with, among other things, larger twin SU carburetors and a few more horsepower. From October 1962, a minor number of updates were introduced: a larger engine at 1098cc, strengthened gearbox, front disc brakes, updated rear brakes, and slightly renewed interior. This updated model also featured sheet metal wheels without the drilled classic ventilation holes from earlier models. With the update, the Midget changed its model code from GAN1 to GAN2, and the Sprite changed from HAN6 to HAN7.
