1968 MG MGC

1968 MGC Roadster

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and sympathetically uprated 1968 MGC Roadster, a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example equipped with the highly desirable factory overdrive gearbox operating on both 3rd and 4th gears.

This exceptional MGC has been the subject of a comprehensive, no-expense-spared ground-up, nut-and-bolt restoration, completed to an outstanding standard throughout. The result is a car that presents superbly in every respect while benefiting from a carefully considered range of performance, drivability and comfort enhancements that make it an absolute pleasure to own and drive.

The legendary C-Series six-cylinder engine has been professionally upgraded with a lightened and balanced rotating assembly, a gas-flowed cylinder head, triple Weber 45 DCOE carburettors with Filter King fuel pressure regulator, tubular extractor exhaust manifold and matching performance exhaust system, 123 electronic ignition distributor, high-torque starter motor and an electric cooling fan. These enhancements significantly improve performance, throttle response and reliability while retaining the unmistakable character and soundtrack of the MGC.

The driving experience has been further enhanced with hydraulic power steering, Gaz adjustable front and rear shock absorbers and power-assisted front disc brakes, resulting in a car that inspires confidence on modern roads without compromising its classic character.

Inside, the cabin combines traditional British sports car charm with discreet modern conveniences, including electric windows, a DAB/Bluetooth audio system and a beautiful Moto-Lita steering wheel. Externally, the car is complemented by a quality mohair hood and elegant chrome wire wheels, perfectly completing its timeless appearance.

Prepared to an exceptional standard, this MGC will be supplied with a new MOT and a comprehensive major service, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next owner.

With its desirable UK provenance, factory overdrive, outstanding restoration and carefully selected performance upgrades, this is far more than a standard MGC. It is an exceptionally well-sorted, beautifully engineered grand touring sports car that offers effortless performance, superb road manners and the unmistakable presence of one of MG's finest six-cylinder models.
