1969 MG MGC

Service History

A superb example of one of Abingdons most charismatic creations, the MG C Roadster represents the pinnacle of late 1960s MG motoring, combining traditional open top charm with the effortless performance of the marques larger six cylinder engine.

This particular 1969 example is a desirable UK supplied right hand drive car that has enjoyed low ownership throughout its life. It is equipped with factory overdrive and has been sensibly enhanced for modern usability with hydraulic power steering and an unleaded compatible cylinder head, making it equally suited to relaxed touring or spirited weekend driving.

The car benefited from a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration covering both body and mechanical components during the late 1990s to early 2000s. Since completion it has covered fewer than 20000 miles and has been carefully maintained and improved by recognised marque specialists Abingdon Sports Cars Ltd while being stored in excellent conditions. Further thoughtful upgrades include a three quarter front anti roll bar, high ratio steering rack, Spax adjustable dampers and a 123 electronic distributor, all contributing to a more assured and confidence inspiring driving experience. The interior has also been enhanced with auxiliary gauges including a voltmeter and clock, a 15 inch Moto Lita steering wheel and inertia reel seat belts.

A substantial history file accompanies the vehicle documenting both the restoration work and subsequent servicing and maintenance right through to the present day, providing reassuring provenance and evidence of careful custodianship.

Presented today by Classicwise complete with full wet weather equipment in excellent condition, this MGC Roadster will be supplied with a fresh 12 month MOT and comprehensive service upon sale, offering peace of mind and allowing its next owner to simply turn the key and enjoy open top motoring. Our coffee pot is always hot, why not arrange a viewing and experience this engaging British classic for yourself.
