Built as a replacement for the outgoing Austin Healey 3000, MG decided to fit its popular MGB with a 145 bhp 3.0-litre straight-six, all-synchromesh gearbox and uprated suspension and brakes.

Well-suited to long-distance grand touring, these high-performance MGs are ideal for Continental road trips, and this recently restored 1968 Roadster has everything going for it. It's a UK market right-hand drive car originally supplied to Wadhams of Waterlooville. Resplendent in the fetching period scheme of Primrose Yellow, and equipped with the desirable overdrive manual gearbox and wire wheels, this MGC is exactly the model enthusiasts are looking for.

As the photographs attest, especially those of the underside, this C is fresh from restoration. It has covered just 72 miles since the restoration was completed at the end of 2024, while the engine is still under warranty until August 2025. While now exempt, it has been submitted for MOT testing, resulting in a clean pass valid until 25th April 2026

Wow. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you restore a car.

This MG presents superbly throughout, and the underside is surely among the cleanest and best-restored you'll ever find. The car has barely been driven since completion of the restoration and so it has not accrued any notable wear to speak of.

This MG's engine compartment looks incredible, and we're assured that big straight-six runs as smoothly as a sewing machine. Minimal miles have been covered since the rebuild, but we understand all to be in good order with no known faults to report. An advisory-free recent MOT pass supports this assertion.
