Looks like there is a white/cream cover that has fallen off it - if you look closely?

Looks like a fairly early one, certainly a chrome bumper one. I've seen some real sheds (no picture pun intended) go for a few grand.

Make a good project

Its a H Reg. so, 1970?

A quick search throws up the fact that it has had 8 Owners ...

Going by the Practical Classics price guide if it's pretty complete and driveable, albeit in need of work to get through the MOT, it may be worth about a grand. With an MOT and in good running order (not perfect and not concours) it could be £2500.

Assuming that it is a 1970, as it's pre-'73 road tax is free (so if restored might be worth more than a '74).

Loverly little car.

Doesn't look in that bad of a condition tbh. Few rust spots by the looks of it but thats hardly surprising, nothing that some TLC couldn't fix thats for sure.

Thumbs up

had several AH Sprites and Midget over the years, all pre '73 and a great deal of fun to work on and run.
