19?? MG 1275cc Midget

£6,500 negotiable

Fos Wilson's Midget has had over £12,000 spent on it and piloted by the 72 year old codger its recent victories include class wins at Cadwell (twice) and Snetterton (3 times).  The car won a MGOC Championship in 2002 at the hands of a girl. Yes, a person of the female persuasion!!  So if you are even a half decent driver you too should be able to collect some pots for your mantelpiece in this car.  The picture below shows Fos at Snetterton having just overtaken two Lotus Élans around the outside at Corum curve.

The car was built for the MGOC championship by David Gathercole.  He used a brand new Heritage shell so there is absolutely no rust.  It is fitted with all the usual competition fitments such as a full cage and fire extinguisher. Fos has splashed out on a new engine, gearbox, radiator, distributor, glass fibre wings and bonnet and a single Weber carb with over 100bhp showing on the rolling road.  In its most recent outing managed a 1.30 at Snetterton.  The car was re-sprayed at the beginning of the season and remains very smart indeed.  There are numerous spares including the original steel wings, bonnet and SU carbs and there's even a spare galvanised trailer.  The price is negotiable depending on what you want.
