Introduced at the London Motor Show in 1967, the MGC represented MG’s refined reply to drivers seeking greater composure and long‑distance capability than the brisk four‑cylinder MGB. By transplanting a smooth, torquey C‑series straight‑six of roughly three litres beneath the familiar two‑seater body, MG reworked the front subframe and suspension, stretching the bonnet and endowing the car with a more assured, fast‑touring temperament. The result is a car that wears its sporting pedigree with calm dignity — a roadster that is equally at home on a spirited B‑road or a comfortable cross‑country run.

Manufactured in 1969 and originally exported to the United States, this MGC was re‑imported to the UK in 1990. At that time it was converted to right‑hand drive and underwent a comprehensive mechanical refresh; an engine rebuild incorporating unleaded head, gearbox rebuild and a programme of associated works, all fully documented. In 2001 the car underwent a full restoration including a high‑quality respray, interior re-trim and suspension work costing approximately £16,000. In current ownership since 2014 it has been maintained conscientiously, most recently having a full service in August 2025. The odometer records 8,101 miles since the restoration. The MG has always been dry stored and driven exclusively in fine weather. 

Offered by our vendor from a significant collection of British classics, this 1969 MGC roadster has been comprehensively checked over and is presented in super order. The mechanicals have been fully attended to; engine, gearbox, steering and brakes are all well sorted thanks to extensive, documented works, the car benefits additionally from conscientious preventative maintenance throughout its ownership. The paint presents with a deep, glossy finish across the body; the only notable imperfection is an indentation to the lower nearside rear quarter. The current owner has cherished the car, investing considerable time and expense to address issues as they arose and to keep the MG reliably prepared for frequent use.

Supplied with a comprehensive history file, including restoration photographs, invoices and records of the mechanical works, recent service invoices, a turn-key classic ready to be enjoyed.
