DESCRIPTION

1977 MG Midget Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite Conversion. Tartan Red with black upholstery, black hood and full and half tonneau covers. This retro Frogeye was purchased in 2011 by the previous keeper as a slightly weary MG Midget, who then proceeded over the next few years to completely nut and bolt rebuild the car into the sporty number you see today. The work was photographed every step of the way and we have hundreds of digital images saved on a memory stick along with the largest history file containing bills, invoices, old mots and much more. The amount of work carried out was vast and works carried out as follows. Engine rebuilt including cylinders honed, new piston rings, new main and big end bearings, unleaded cylinder head, carburettors overhauled, Peco 4-2-1 sports manifold, new exhaust system, new fuel hoses and copper fuel line, Hi-Torque starter motor, updated oil pressure relief spring, electronic fuel pump, Inertia relay for pump, new water hoses. Complete new clutch and pipe, new copper brake pipes, new braided brake hoses front and rear. New front and rear springs, rear lowering kit, front lowering kit, updated lever arm shocks all round, updated front anti roll bar, reconditioned callipers and new discs. Wooden steering wheel, anti-theft immobiliser, new heater valve, new siper rack, tube and wheel boxes. A new Don Trimming hood with new top rail seal. New doors, drop glass rubbers and felt, new door locks, new carpets and door cards. New door pulls and window winders, new check straps, new rear lights, front and rear indicators. New headlight bowls, nests and rubbers. New fuel tank, new Minilite style wheels, new front wheel bearings and suspension bushes, new track rod ends and anti roll bar links. New axle check strap, new handbrake cable and new prop shaft. The front bonnet and tail conversion panels were supplied by Smith & Deakin who are one of the U.Ks leading manufacturers of motor vehicle reproduction fibreglass panels. All of the above work was undertaken during 2011-2015 rebuild. As you would expect this car drives just as it should, a very spritely (excuse the pun) number that is great fun and holds the road extremely well, it has a current mot until June 2021 even though it is now tax and mot exempt. At less than half price of a genuine Frogeye this car looks just as good and dare I say it performs better. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Finance arranged. Free U.K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information.
