Description:

This 1964 MG Midget car was originally built as a 1098cc Ashley historic FIA racer (FIA/HTP Papers expired in 2017). Competed in both SPA and Birket 6 hour races. Raced in Europe and driven at some stage by Tony Jardine. Registered with V5 logbook.

Acquired by myself in January 2024 it had already been fitted with Sebring forward hinging front end and Ashley Fastback hard top. Thousands of pounds has been spent this year upgrading and improving the car. The old 1098cc engine/gearbox was removed this year and a new 1380cc full race engine and new straight cut close ratio gearbox was fitted, both only 2 races old! 

Upgrades fitted this year include:

• New full race 1380cc engine with 45 DCOE Weber carburettor
• New straight cut close ratio gearbox
• New Triple cylinder pedal box with balance bar and alloy cover
• New oil cooler
• New 3” lowered rear race springs
• New Telescopic AVO adjustable shock absorbers
• New Rose jointed semi elliptic panhard rod kit
• New 600lb front springs
• New Front damper top link kit and new bearings
• New Wilwood 4 pot ventilated front disc brakes
• New Mintex rear competition brake shoes
• New Negative top trunnions
• New high torque starter motor
• New clutch 
• New alternator
• New Rev limiter
• New Electric fan and sensor
• New Electronic ignition
• New competition coil
• New large bore exhaust
• New seat belts
• New Minilite replica wheels
• Yokohama tyres (one race old)
• Full professional bolt in competition roll cage
• Tillet composite race seat
• Plumbed in fire extinguisher (serviced September 2023).

This is a stunning car with a great history, well developed and ready to race. I was going to race this car for the full 2025 season but an opportunity has arisen to change formulas and race in a team, hence the sale.

The car is eligible for multiple events such as: CSCC Swinging Sixties, Lackford Engineering Midget series, 750, Midget and Sprite challenge etc…

Price  £19,900 o.v.n.o, a real bargain. Also available separately is a Ifor Williams 2 wheel trailer with ramps in excellent condition £1995.
