The MGC was the first 'high performance' version of the MGB. From early on in the design stages of the MGB there was an intention to create high performance variants, using a range of Vee engines that did not make it to production. The MGC was much more than a tuned MGB, in fact it was a completely re-engineered car, but retained many visual connections to the MGB. On the outside the MGC was often mistaken for an MGB as the only visual difference was the heavily bulged bonnet with a transverse chrome strip that accentuated the bulges, and the standard use of 15” wheels instead of the 14” used on the MGB. Inside there were very few differences between the B and C, other than the 140mph speedometer and tachometer with a yellow and red banding, set against lower RPM than the MGB.

This MG CGT was first registered on 17th October 1968 and presents well in white with black trim. The engine has been rebuilt and uprated meaning when on song, this is a fabulous car to drive, the overdrive gearbox enhancing the driveability even further. An unleaded conversion was carried out at the time of the engine rebuild. The suspension has been polybushed giving a more comfortable ride, together with less maintenance. Electronic ignition has been fitted for greater reliability. New front discs and pads were fitted last year, along with new rear wheel cylinders. Sitting proudly on wire wheels and supplied with a V5C registration document, together with an MoT test certificate valid until 21st June 2025. If you are looking for a 60's GT car to use right away, or even a useable classic to dodge the ULEZ zone, then look no further. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
