1968 MG MGC GT Convertible Petrol Manual

Description

We are delighted to offer this 1968 MGC GT, a right-hand-drive home-market example finished in its original colour scheme of Snowberry White with Black interior. First dispatched in July 1968, this car retains its correct factory specification, including overdrive, and is fitted with a desirable Webasto sunroof.The car enjoyed long-term ownership from 1998 until 2020, before being acquired by its most recent keeper. During the 2000s, it underwent a full body-off restoration, at which time it was repainted back to its original Snowberry White. Today, it remains in very presentable order, with excellent paintwork and interior.Documentation accompanying the car is extensive. The history file includes the current V5C, a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate, numerous MOT certificates and invoices dating back to 1987, providing clear evidence of continuous care and maintenance.On the road the MGC delivers what it was designed for – smooth, long-legged performance. The 2912cc straight-six engine produces around 145bhp, giving the car strong torque and relaxed cruising ability. With overdrive engaged, it settles into effortless touring, while the torsion bar front suspension and wider track ensure a planted feel. Period figures quoted 0–60mph in around 10 seconds and a top speed in excess of 120mph, placing the MGC firmly in grand-touring territory.With its rare six-cylinder engine, period Webasto roof, restoration history and a strong supporting file, this MGC GT represents a superb opportunity to acquire a characterful and capable classic MG – equally at home on weekend drives or long-distance touring.Available for viewing now.
