RIGHT THEN WHO CAN HELP ME SHARE THIS!!!

LNY750L
1972 MG MIDGET 1275

It's my friends granddads old car & this picture was taken in 1981-2

It's taxed, moted and insured apparently........and he wants to buy it back.
It's now apparently green as well.

If anyone can get any info of its whereabouts or the owner let me know please!

He wants to buy it back for his dad and surprise him with it!

Thanks!!

Have you tried contacting the MG Car Club and the MG Owners Club?
They may be able to assist.

it's not always a good idea to revisit the past, the car and former owner have now aged and unless either or both has been restored in some way chances are they're not as compatible as they used to be

but you could try asking on MG BBS Midget & Sprite General forum

My OH was contacted through the MGCC by the first owner of his 1967 BGT. It turned out that the chap didn't live far from us, so one Sunday afternoon we arranged to go and visit.

I don't think he wanted to buy it back, particularly as it's now prepared for hillclimbs & sprints and has lost the chome bumper, wire wheels etc, but he was so thrilled to see it. OH took him for a "spin" around the block an they came back grinning from ear to ear.

He had a ton of old photos and we re-staged a couple of them as he still lived in the same house as he did in '67.

It was a lovely afternoon and great to see an old fellow reunited with his Best Girl, even if only for a couple of hours.
