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.

Originally purchased on August 1st 1980 from Kenning Limited in Enfield, OLN 666W has been with the same registered owner since new. Displaying a warranted c.8,500 miles on the odometer, it is finished in Mustard Yellow with a black leather interior which is described as being in very good condition. The car has been started and run every year in the owner's posession and is offered to market with an extensive history file including the original bill of sale and a current Swansea V5c.
