Many have described the MGC as one of the most controversial sports cars ever produced in Abingdon. Originally designed to replace sales of the Austin Healey 3000, a 3 litre engine was show horned into the standard MGB bodyshell.

This required major modifications to the engine bay and the front suspension was modified to incorporate torsion bars rather than the MGB’s coil springs.

Launched in 1967, the car was available as a roadster and a GT. Sadly the car earned a reputation for poor handling, largely due to the tyre pressures being incorrectly set on the press launch, and it was never a commercial success selling just 9002 cars in its 2 years of production.

However, today the car’s popularity is increasing with MGCs in both roadster and GT body styles selling for a premium and many owners refuting the reputation for dubious handling!

This illustration shows a 1968 MGC-GT finished in grampian grey, with red interior trim, black piping and wire wheels.

An ideal gift or a treat for yourself, or any MG enthusiast, perfect for the office, living room, den or garage!
