before there was a Mazda Miata, there were MGs. A pinnacle of 1960s
simplicity and fun wrapped in a tidy package, many of these
two-seaters found favor with drivers seeking an escape from
Detroit?s much larger vehicles. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased
to present this 1969 MG MGC, which is the rarely seen 6 cylinder
Big Brother to the ever popular MGB. This particular unit was one
of only 1,757 built for export to the United States in 1969 and it
was had aA comprehensive nut and bolt restoration some years ago.
It is being sold on an actual mile title showing only 39710 miles.
Dressed in Classic Primrose Yellow, the car?s paint and trim are in
excellent order. The car?s glass panels, lights, and bodywork are
all similarly spectacular. This car includes the rare factory
hardtop in addition to the black soft-top, plus it comes with both
short and full tonneau covers. The engine bay is quite tidy and the
car?s chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. Note that this
roadster comes with three windshield wipers. This MG rolls on
Michelin XZX radials, size 165SR15 at all four corners and each
tire surrounds a factory chrome, 72-spoke, double-laced wire wheel.
There is also a spare wire wheel included. The car?s tool kit
includes a knock-off wrench, lead hammer and a jack, all located in
the boot (trunk). Under the bonnet (hood) is a 2.9L straight
six-cylinder engine with dual SU HS6 one-inch carburetors, making a
spritely 145 horsepower, which is more than enough gusto to move
this light car from a stop. Mated to the motor is a four-speed
manual transmission with overdrive. Inside, the car has black
Connolly leather seats with the correct 1969 headrests. The seats
are in very good order, as is the matching Wilton wool carpet. The
three-spoke MG steering wheel is present and looks spiffy. The
instrument panel is excellent while the inner door panels are in
very good order. The shifter looks ready for action. Completing the
interior is a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. The MGC was
a 2,912 cc, straight-six version of the MGB sold from 1967 and only
produced until August 1969 with some sales running on into 1970.
The first engine to be considered was an Australian-designed
six-cylinder version of the BMC B-Series but the production
versions used a new seven-main-bearing development of the Morris
Engines designed C-Series that was also to be used for the new
Austin three-liter four-door saloon. The body shell needed
considerable revisions around the engine bay and to the floor pan
but externally, the only differences were a distinctive bonnet
bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for
carburetor clearance. It had different brakes from the MGB, 15-inch
wheels, a lower geared rack-and-pinion and special torsion bar
suspension with telescopic dampers. Like the MGB, it was available
as a coup? (GT) and roadster. An overdrive gearbox or three-speed
automatic gearbox were available as options. The car was capable of
120 mph and a 0?60 mph time of 10.0 seconds. Documentation includes
MGC handbook, MGC workshop manual, SU carburetor rebuild manual and
the Best of C Notes manual. Competition to this MG in 1969 included
Alfa-Romeo?s Spider Veloce, Chevrolet?s Corvair Convertible, Lotus?
Elan S4 Drophead and Porsche?s 911 Targa. If you?re looking for a
