Intended as a flagship sports car to replace the Austin-Healey 3000 in the BMC range, 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 floorpan), the only visible differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. The newcomer was powered by a 2,912cc OHV straight-six engine and promised a 120mph top speed. Unable to compete with the popularity of its cheaper four-cylinder sibling, the MGC was dropped in 1969 after reputedly just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had been made.

Finished in Mineral Blue with black hide upholstery, this MGC is a handsome example of this sought after model and benefits from a bare metal respray 2 years ago. Displaying a very credible c.65,900 recorded miles, ‘WGU 58F’ has the optioned Borg Warner automatic transmission which has been the subject of a recent professional overhaul. Offered with a Owners Handbook, assorted old MOT certificates and Swansea V5C.
