1975 MG Midget Jubilee Edition – Citron Yellow/Jubilee Edition
The MG Midget is a two-door British sports car produced by the MG division of the British Motor Corporation and its successors between 1961 and 1979. Renowned for its lightweight construction, engaging driving dynamics and unmistakable charm, the Midget became one of Britain's most enduring and beloved classic sports cars. Presented here is a particularly desirable example: a rare 1975 Jubilee Edition finished in striking Citron Yellow with a contrasting black interior.
Manufactured in 1975 and first registered in 1976, this Jubilee Edition carries the sought-after Gold Label specification and is accompanied by an impressive history file that reflects careful ownership and long-term preservation. The car has had seven previous keepers and benefits from a Heritage Certificate confirming its authenticity.
Adding significantly to its provenance, the car retains its original new vehicle sales invoice from 1976, issued when Mr Henry Hirst first purchased the vehicle. Also included are the MG Midget Driver's Handbook, the Midget Owners Workshop Manual, previous V5 documentation, and a delightful collection of photographs documenting the car with a former owner, providing a fascinating glimpse into its life and history.
The car has continued to benefit from sympathetic maintenance in recent years. In 2024, the wheels were professionally refurbished and repainted, enhancing the car's already attractive presentation. During 2023, a new fuel pump and brake servo were fitted. The vehicle was declared SORN for a period during 2022, after which it returned to use.
For improved braking performance and usability in modern traffic conditions, the car has been upgraded with a front disc brake conversion incorporating Volkswagen Golf Mk4 callipers, Ford Fiesta discs and an integral handbrake arrangement. This thoughtful modification provides increased confidence behind the wheel whilst maintaining the character that makes the MG Midget such an enjoyable classic sports car.
Presented in its distinctive Citron Yellow paintwork with black interior trim, this Jubilee Edition offers an appealing combination of rarity, provenance and enthusiast ownership. The comprehensive history file, original sales invoice, Heritage Certificate and accompanying documentation make this a particularly attractive proposition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
A charming and well-documented example of one of Britain's most iconic sports cars, ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
