MGC & MGC GT

Announced in 1967, the MGC was heralded as a replacement for the Austin Healey 3000. Available in both Roadster and GT versions and powered by a 2912cc in-line six cylinder engine, the model offered a top speed approaching 120 MPH and should have been one of the best-selling sports cars of all time. Unfortunately it was not received well by the press, who complained of its poor handling and acceleration, and its visual similarity with the MGB. In reality it was, however, a superbly long-legged touring car.

Undoubtedly influenced by reduced sales as a result of its poor reception from the press, together with the merging of MG within the British Leyland group, where Triumph products were viewed

favourably and the MGC was seen as opposition for the TR6, the model was discontinued in 1969.

Less than 9,000 models were produced, and whilst the politics within MG prevented it from realising its true potential as a successor to the big Healey, its qualities as a touring car have ensured that it is still much sought after today.
