Description:

Grand Prix Cafe is delighted to offer this wonderfully correct 1969 MGC GT finished in Old English White with Black leather interior. Early in the design stages of the MGB there was an intention to create high performance variants, using a range of V8 engines that did not make it to production. One such variant was the MGC – very much more than a tuned MGB and in fact a completely re-engineered car although retaining many visual connections to the MGB. On the outside the MGC was often mistaken for an MGB as the only visual differences were in the heavily bulged bonnet with a transverse chrome strip that accentuated the bulges and the standard use of 15 wheels instead of 14. Inside there were few differences between the B and C other than the 140mph speedo and tach with a yellow and red banding set against lower rpms than the MGB. The MGC was a 3-liter straight-6 version of the MGB and sold from 1967 with production continuing through to August 1969. With the twin SU carburetor form used in the MGC, the engine produced 145bhp at 5250rpm. It had different brakes from the MGB, 15 inch wheels, a lower geared rack and pinion steering and special torsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. Like the MGB, it was available as a coupe and roadster. The car was capable of 120 mph and 0-60 mph time of 10.0 seconds.
A fantastic opportunity to buy a rare and proper British sports car in fantastic condition with Big Healey performance at a fraction of the cost.
This particular vehicle is 100% rust free as it was fully restored in house. Engine and trans were taken out, top and bottom end completely cleaned out and re-sealed. The overdrive was replaced and the gearbox shifts flawlessly. She drives like a brand new car and pulls quite well. All original mileage.
