Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in autumn 1967 and powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine. A strong performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10 seconds and 120mph. However, the newcomer’s striking resemblance to its smaller-engined B sibling hampered sales. Thus, MG chose to axe the model in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made.

Entering the current ownership in December 1997, ‘KJH 10G’ was extensively restored and upgraded over the next twelve years. As well as chassis / sill work, the MG was treated to a new radiator, gearlever-mounted competition overdrive switch, stainless steel fuel tank, Quaife limited slip differential, rejuvenated suspension (Bilstein dampers, parabolic rear springs, sundry polyurethane bushes) and a set of Heuer clocks. The engine was overhauled too gaining an alloy cylinder head, Kent camshaft, Maniflow stainless exhaust system, Dural sump and machined flywheel etc. Finished in Green with what may well be its original Black leather upholstery, the Roadster was last on the road during 2018. Dry stored since then, it will require recommissioning prior to use. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file – a great winter project.
