Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The MG Midget is trading at a median of £7,440 in the UK market, down 6.8 per cent over the past twelve months. Current momentum shows a buy signal with the market appearing to have bottomed out, though confidence in this read remains medium-grade given the thin transaction flow.
Liquidity remains a significant constraint, with only five sales tracked over the past year and zero active listings at present. This sparse market activity means price discovery is limited and exit windows for sellers can be lengthy, though it also suggests little forced supply pressure is depressing values further.
The Midget carries a collectibility score of 5 and sits in the stable modern classic tier, a designation that reflects its heritage appeal but relatively modest current desirability among active buyers. Low desirability scores point to competing interest for period British sports cars and the model's modest performance envelope in today's market.
Transacted examples have averaged just 7,090 miles, indicating that surviving Midgets entering the market tend to be garage-kept rather than daily drivers. This preservation pattern is typical for the model and supports the stable classic classification.
Base projections suggest further erosion ahead, with the median expected to decline to £6,329 over three years and £6,015 over five years, representing cumulative falls of 14.9 and 19.1 per cent respectively. This downward trajectory reflects aging demographics of existing owners and limited fresh collector momentum in the market.
