The vendor describes the car as “an honest and unmolested example”. Finished in Mineral Blue with Black hide upholstery, this MGC is a very handsome example of this incredibly sought after tourer. Displaying a very credible c.65,872 recorded miles, ‘WGU 58F’ has the optioned Borg Warner automatic transmission which has been the subject of a recent gearbox overhaul. ‘WGU 58F’ is offered with a handbook, old MOT certificates and the V5C.

Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in autumn 1967. Based around the same two-door monocoque bodyshell as the humble MGB (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floor pan) externally, the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. The newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine and promised a 120mph top speed. Too readily confused with its four-cylinder sibling to be a sales success, the MGC was dropped in 1969 after just 4544 Roadsters and 4458 GTs had allegedly been made.
