Vehicle Overview
Description
DEPOSIT TAKEN Here we have something a little different for us, and if I’m honest, something that put a big smile on our faces when it came in. This is an original Irish MG Midget finished in bright red with race decals and grills over the lights, and it just looks like what it is… a proper cheeky little classic that’s ready for a bit of craic. It comes with the brown log book, which is always nice to see on an Irish car of this age. It’s running the 1275cc engine and it genuinely feels lively. It starts first turn of the key, settles nicely, and when you put the foot down it pulls hard and feels very quick for a small 1275. These are light cars to begin with, and this one really makes the most of it. It drives very well, feels tight on the road and just wants to be enjoyed. Spec wise it’s got a half roll cage, Minilite wheels sitting on Hankook tyres, front spots, and a proper race-style bucket seat for the driver with a harness. It adds to the whole character of the thing. The interior is very clean and all the gauges are working exactly as they should, which is always reassuring in a classic. It’s simple, old-school motoring – no nonsense, just you, the steering wheel and a big grin. Now, to be clear, this was taken in as a trade in and it’s not the usual type of car we sell. It presents very well and drives great, but it is not a concours example and it’s not pretending to be. It’s a bit of fun. A very usable, honest little classic and a very easy, quick way into classic car ownership without having to spend serious money. It has not gone through our workshop and it will not be sold with warranty. She should absolutely be inspected to give yourself full satisfaction in what you’re buying. This is an old-school classic being sold lower than market price, and it reflects that. If you’ve been thinking about getting into the classic scene, something to take out on a Sunday, bring to a local cars & coffee, or just enjoy on a sunny evening, this is a cracking starter classic. Huge fun for very little money and guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you turn the key.

I just got my Ferrari back from Simon and the lads today after a serious engine out service. They got straight into the job when the took in the car and had it back in a very reasonable timeframe. The lads kept me up to date throughout with videos, photos and general updates. You wouldn't get this level of transparency from a Main Dealer. There were unforeseen issues along the way but they just got on with it and were able to order awkward parts where possible and had parts made where they were not available or too expensive to buy. Very few mechanic operations left of this type in Ireland with this wealth of knowledge and experience and they are not afraid to work on the higher end old cars. I will definitely be back to them for any future maintenence. Now all I need is a dry day to enjoy this V8 on the backroads again!!

Recently purchased my M4 from Simon and he was a pleasure to deal with from day one. After delivery there were some minor issues with the car, which were unknown to Simon and his Team, but he took the car back and fixed everything. He even provided a loan car to keep me on the road for a few days. As above, a pleasure to deal with and I can’t wait to do business with them again soon. Also a quick shout out to Simon Walsh who was so helpful throughout.

I’ve bought already 3 cars from Simon and Simon - such a stunning selection of cars for nearly any budget, and more importantly amazing after sale customer care. All 3 cars were in great condition with low mileage, ready to go to any car show. The latest one - Mercedes w201 has only 78k km (less than 50k miles!) in its 34 years, what a find by Simon and team! I had a small mechanical issue with one of the cars after the purchase - we arranged a repair and I was immediately provided with a replacement car (a wonderful experience on its own - a powerful beast with 250 bhp!). Was receiving updates on the repair and timing along the way in text messages, which was really nice. Always feeling welcomed and respected even buying comparatively cheaper cars. I could really feel their love to cars, knowledge and professionalism. I will for sure be back again and trade in for the next car!
