MGC and MGCGT

Model Guide

Developed from the MGB as a successor to the Healey 3000, the MGC was launched in 1967 in Roadster and GT forms with a 3 litre straight six, front suspension changes and a bonnet bulge. Revised gearing in 1968. Surprisingly over 9,000 cars were produced in two years until the model was discontinued in 1969.

So, you’re looking to buy an MGC or MGCGT?

When the model was introduced at the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show, it was the most powerful MG sports car ever built. With a new 2912cc (3 litre) straight six-cylinder engine, this was a ‘true’ Grand Tourer in every sense of the word. From the launch of the MGB in 1962, there was always meant to be a more powerful version and it was only a matter of time before a suitable ‘big’ engine was developed and fitted.

Here is a detailed model review and buying guide for the MGC.
