The need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation, the Midget’s biggest market, saw MG revise the design of its little sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing polyurethane 'rubber bumpers'. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 66bhp 1493cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its taut handling, the MkIV was well received by both press and public alike. In the five years from 1974 to 1979, a total of 73,899 Midget 1500s were manufactured.

Offered with an extensive history file with multiple invoices for works carried out, this Midget is finished in Brooklands Green with a tan interior. Offered without reserve, it comes with hood and tonneau covers, registration document and assorted MOT certificates. A seat belt kit is also included with the car.
