Details: This is a rare roadster treat at a value price. The 1969 MG MGC is the more powerful and low-production kin to the MGBs we all knowand#44; so to have this distinct droptop available today is an exceptional opportunity.


You know these classic proportions well. This very European silhouette with delicate chrome bumpersand#44; full-length sweeping trimand#44; and just a hint of tailfin looks excellent. Its the unmistakable look of the MGB... But then you notice the distinct hood with the power bulge. Its the telltale sign of the rare MGC. Well talk about the added power in a momentand#44; but firstand#44; lets appreciate this rare British treat – production numbers are reported as little as under 4and#44;600 roadsters ever built. The extra power means this is a better grand touring machine than the MGB. Soand#44; the rear luggage rack and larger 15-inch wire wheels just seem to be a better fit for a true weekend getaway machine. Plusand#44; you get some great additions that come with the sale like a roll barand#44; removable hardtopand#44; and plenty of other accessories to enjoy this sports car to the fullest.


Not much had to be changed from the MGB for the MGC interior. After alland#44; the feeling from the drivers bucket seat is sung but comfortable. And everything is easily reached from the heat/defrost controland#44; to the black folding roof. You take full control with the grippy three-spoke steering wheeland#44; and beyond thatand#44; youll love watching the full Smiths gauge package do its dance. The whole experience makes you feel part of the car as the wind whips through the cabinand#44; and thats the true point of a British roadster.


The moment you open the hoodand#44; you can tell there has been some serious care given to this car. The MGC had 50% more cylinders and 50% more displacement than the MGBand#44; and that makes it quite desirable today. Thats why there has been a lot of time invested in this powerplant. You see it in the correct minty green block of the 2912cc inline six. The whole engine bay is a tidy setup with fresh componentsand#44; and theres a clean look to the twin SU carburetors. With such a nice restorationand#44; someone else will get to enjoy this hard work. As a true grand touring machineand#44; the MGC received a special front suspension packageand#44; upgraded front disc brakesand#44; and had the enhanced power to accommodate the three-speed automatic transmission.


This car has been a labor of loveand#44; and we have a ton of receipts and the owners manual to prove it. You know MGCs dont come around too oftenand#44; so act now on this well-sorted and affordable example before its too late. Call now!!
