A rare and desirable 3 litre automatic example. 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. Although only about 20% of these were automatics
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.
