This remarkable 'C' has been owned by the vendor for a staggering 47 years – we have a handwritten bill of sale from 1977 in the history file, as well as the classified listing from an issue of Motorsport magazine from that same year, which is where the vendor saw the car advertised. An MG Car Club and IAM member, he appears to have proudly maintained this MG with the same dedication and enthusiasm as its first owner, although we suspect he’s the seventh keeper – according to the change of owners listed on the old-style logbook. A V5C is also included in the car’s extensive history folder.

The car’s been intermittently on the road, having seen significant restoration work at least twice during its 55-year existence. The last round of bodywork apparently coincided with the millennium, the vendor telling us the following: “It was taken back to a bare shell and rebuilt then repainted (in its original Tartan Red) in 1999. All the wiring, plumbing, fuel and brake pipes were replaced at the same time, and the head was also skimmed and converted to run unleaded fuel.”
