Beschreibung

We've been fortunate to come into this MGC through a deal with another car. We do like a nice part exchange and when they are as nice as this, it is hard to not try to make it work.

It comes with an exhaustive history file (old MoT certificates, invoices and even the original sales paperwork). The car was supplied new in the US and has always been lovingly cared for there are invoice's (including recent work) and MoT is in the folder.

Fully restored upon returning the UK she has been fitted with the Triple Weber Carburettor set up with a high lift camshaft which sits so well with the 4 speed with overdrive gearbox

Under the bonnet is the 2912cc straight-six, as mentioned, fed by triple weber carburettor setup giving it the extra grump!

It starts easily and idles smoothly, indeed, driving it home last week, reminded me how sweet these six-cylinders are: plenty of torque, yet comfortable cruising at motorway speeds, slow speed, accelerating speed, cornering speeds, just at any point.

The signature "power bulge" in the bonnet (to clear the engine) is a constant reminder this isn't an MGB. The chassis feels tight, and with overdrive on third/fourth the car glides along. Brakes and steering are solid (definitely stronger than an MGB), making it confidence-inspiring on twisty B-roads.

We're about to have it checked over by our mechanic: oil and filters changed, new spark plugs installed, and a fresh MoT (no failures or advisories). It really is ready to go. I can report that it behaves exactly as you'd hope - the steering is direct, the gearbox smooth (with a satisfying clunk into first), and the exhaust note has that classic, friendly MG rumble.

I didn't push it to the redline as there is so much torque, but even gentle cruising up to 70mph showed there's still plenty of power.

The repainted body in a striking red, is bright with little if not nearly no imperfections.

She has a host of new equipment recently purchased - new wire wheels & tyres, new hood, tonneau, and hood bag as well so she looks really sharp whether the hood is up or down

All chrome work including the bumpers are in very good shape.

The interior is original black leather with red piping (the driver's piping needs a little attention which we shall sort out, although other than that, the interior is superb.

All gauges and lights work ( we had the MoT carried out today which was passed )

In short, no tired panel gaps or hidden rust - just a clean restored classic ready for more miles with:

Triple double choke Weber carburettors
High lift camshaft
Alloy rocker cover
Free flow exhaust manifold
SS exhaust after manifold
Electric fan
Heritage certificate

Overall, this MG C is a fantastic driver-quality classic. It ticks all the boxes for someone who loves a 1960s British roadster: easy to maintain, fun on a sunny drive, and ready to use! If you want to see more details on the history please reach out.
