• Early MkI model
• Desirable Tartan Red finish
• Heritage Certificate on file

'397 EAX' is a delightful early example of the MG Midget MkI, finished in the ever-popular Tartan Red, and is offered as a correct home market right-hand drive car with accompanying Heritage Certificate.

Produced by MG, the MkI Midget is one of the purest expressions of the classic British lightweight sports car, simple, engaging and full of character. Introduced in 1961, the MkI Midget was closely related to the Austin-Healey Sprite, featuring a compact, lightweight construction and a lively A-Series engine. Early MkI cars such as this are particularly sought after for their simplicity and classic styling. Finished in Tartan Red, '397 EAX' car presents in a period-correct and highly desirable colour scheme that suits the Midget’s compact proportions. The MkI’s simple lines, chrome detailing and low stance give it enduring visual appeal, making it a popular choice at classic events and shows.

The interior retains the classic early Midget layout with a simple, uncluttered dashboard. As with all early British sports cars, the emphasis is on driving enjoyment rather than luxury, and the cabin reflects this ethos. This example is offered with the Heritage Certificate present, confirming the original factory details of this UK home market, right-hand drive example. These factors add to the car’s desirability and authenticity. The MG Midget MkI remains one of the most enjoyable and accessible entry points into classic sports car ownership. A charming and engaging classic, ideal for enthusiasts seeking simple, open-top motoring with the much-immitated genuine 1960s character.
