Description
This MGC has just had £15, 000 spent on a full engine rebuild, and with fewer than 2, 500 miles covered since, it's barely run in!
Under the bonnet, the work goes well beyond the rebuild itself. A fast road cam gives it real pull, backed by electronic ignition, a new distributor, new electronic fuel pump and alternator, and new leads. The gearbox has been fully reconditioned to match, and the headlights uprated to Frontline specification, so it drives as confidently after dark as it looks in daylight.
The bodywork is in excellent order, having been restored by Hares of Berkshire. An independent valuation and receipts is available for any buyer who wants the figures confirmed before they commit.
‘GRN 382F’ was first registered by Preston County Council on May 1, 1968 and despatched to its first owner by Loxhams Garages (Preston) Ltd. It is finished in British Racing Green, trimmed in white-piped black leather, and rides on chrome wire wheels shod with 185/ 70R15 Fulda tyres.
The car is unusual in being one of only 20 or so examples remaining from the 92 MGCs that were equipped from new with Borg Warner automatic transmission. It benefited from a ground up restoration between 1986 and 1994, with further work in 2025/ 6.
