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 1968 MGC GT is finished in British Racing Green with contrasting new Magnolia leather with trim piped in green along with green carpets trimmed in Magnolia and new chrome wire wheels and tyres. This rare and fabulous car has just been finished from a total nut and bolt rebuild Including engine and gearbox rebuild with everything either renewed or refurbished including upgraded drilled front discs etc - (too much to list here) and has not been used since, so is in superb condition throughout. The car has also been wax oiled throughout and there are invoices for over £47,000 for parts and labour which do not include the cost of the car! The car comes with all invoices for monies spent and photos taken during rebuild. This example is in show condition! Consigned by James Good
