1968 MG MGC

Rare six-cylinder roadster with overdrive, registered power steering and exceptionally comprehensive maintenance documented over several decades

The MGC is the more powerful and considerably rarer six-cylinder variant of the MGB. Beneath the characteristically long bonnet is the 2.9-litre straight-six engine with 2,912 cm³ and 95 kW / approx. 129 hp. Together with overdrive, classic wire wheels and the open two-seater roadster concept, the MGC offers a combination that clearly sets it apart from the MGB.

The vehicle offered here is distinguished in particular by its exceptionally comprehensive and traceable maintenance and repair history spanning many years. A large proportion of the work was carried out by specialist workshops specialising in classic British automobiles. Numerous invoices, workshop documents and records are available and will be handed over with the vehicle.

An additional feature that is particularly pleasant in everyday use is the electric EZ-Powersteering power steering. It was professionally retrofitted, inspected by TÜV and entered in the vehicle documents.

Extensively documented maintenance, repair and restoration work

Over many years, considerable investment was made in the technical preservation and improvement of the MGC. According to the available invoices and receipts, restoration, repair and maintenance expenditure totalling more than €30,000 is documented. The work carried out is verifiably documented through individual invoices and workshop records.

A special part of the vehicle documentation is also the accompanying original British Leyland MGC Workshop Manual, Publication Part No. AKD 7133 A.

Conclusion

This MGC is not merely a classic car prepared for visual appeal, but a roadster that has been consistently technically maintained, repaired and sensibly improved over many years.

In particular, the assemblies of special technical and financial importance on the MGC – engine and cylinder head, front axle, steering, braking system, clutch, gearbox and overdrive, propeller shaft, differential and cooling system – have demonstrably undergone extensive work.

Viewing by appointment. The extensive vehicle documentation, the original Workshop Manual and the available accessories will of course be handed over with the vehicle.
