The MGC was a 2912 cc, straight-6 version of the MGB sold from 1967 and produced until August 1969 with some sales running on into 1970.
It was intended as a replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000. The engine in the twin SU carburettor form used in the MGC produced 145 bhp (108 kW) at 5250 rpm. The body shell needed considerable revision around the engine bay and to the floor pan, but externally the only difference from the standard MGB, was a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. It had different brakes from the MGB, 15 inch wheels, a lower geared rack and pinion and specialtorsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. Like the MGB, it was available as a coupé (GT) and roadster. An overdrive gearbox or three-speed automatic gearbox were available as options. The car was capable of 120 mph (193 km/h) and a 0–60 mph time of 10.0 seconds.
Today the car is considered very collectible and the main causes of the poor reputation relating to handling have in the main been overcome by better tyres and subtle modification of suspension settings.
This MGC has been restored to near concourse condition. It is painted in its original Red colour with original black interior with red piping. It has the period correct 15" wire wheels with new tyres. Ordered new to South Africa it comes with a heritage certificate.
This highly collectible MG is perfect for your collection and is a fantastic English sports car
