Hello guys. Every now and then (usually separated by years) I consider
selling my '79 Midget. Now is one of those times again. In the past I was
disappointed with the low values on these cars, so I held onto it, figuring
it served me better than the paltry money it would bring. Now I have quite
a bit of work to do on my two big Healeys and could use the cash to help
out.
I found the car in '96 with 10K original miles. I have put on another 25k or
so (will have to check for exact). When I purchased it I replaced tires and
other things that suffered from non-use. It has been a very good running
car for me. After the last time I considered selling and changed my mind, I
decided to have some fun with the car. This led to some changes from its
very original state. I added headers and changed out the Stromberg for dual
SUs. The current muffler is a glass pack. I have a NOS Stebro exhaust I
will consider including with the car depending on sales price. The latest
change I made was shared with this group a short while back. I made a wood
dash unit and matching steering wheel. The original, non-cracked dash will
go with the car.
Overall, the car is in excellent condition. The driver seat has a tear at
the top that I caused by resting my hand there while getting into the car.
There is a crease on the left side where the door opened into it. My son was
rolling it out of the garage with the door open. It has a stereo radio and
tape player that I had put in. The car is white with black interior and
black stripes down the sides. The top is only a few years old and has spent
that time mostly folded in the garage.
Some pictures of it can be seen at the bottom of this gallery:
http://www.pbase.com/mdlempert/cars I will take a new series of pictures
if anyone is interested. I'm offering to this group before going the
dreaded ebay route. The car is located in the Charleston area of South
Carolina. I drove it here from New Jersey when we made the move in 2001. It
ran flawlessly the entire 750 mile trip. I believe it can be driven
anywhere with confidence.
A contribution to the health and welfare of my big Healeys in the amount of
$4000 will be much appreciated and will also get you the Stebro exhaust.
