1973 MG Midget 1275 | Haydock, Merseyside

A 1973 MG Midget 1275, the small British roadster known for its light, nimble feel and close-to-the-road driving. Late Mk III cars of this period are recognised by their rounded rear arches, and the 1275 in the name refers to the engine size. This car is finished in Gold with a blue interior, a warm, period-looking pairing that stands out against stone, brick or green backdrops. It is in very good condition, and its open two-seat cockpit keeps both occupants in clear view of the camera. Its low, compact body leaves plenty of room in shot for the location, which suits photography, fashion and editorial shoots, music videos and 1970s-set film and TV. The gold paintwork gives advertising and event work a strong, simple colour to build around. A wedding arrival or a personal hire suits it well too. The car is based in Haydock, Merseyside.
