Just Arrived: Show-Standard 1968 MGC GT in Snowberry White
Now available at The Forge Prees is this exceptional 1968 MGC GT – a show-standard example finished in classic Snowberry White with a beautifully detailed restoration by marque specialist Holmes Racing of Norwich.
First registered in London in November 1968, this UK-supplied car comes complete with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) Certificate confirming its original factory specification: Snowberry White paintwork, Black trim, wire wheels, and manual overdrive gearbox. It was completed on the 9th of October 1968.
In 2018, the car underwent a comprehensive £21, 000 restoration, carried out by Holmes Racing. The work is fully documented in a spreadsheet format, with an exhaustive parts list and photographic record showing the car before, during, and after the rebuild. The result is a car that not only looks superb but drives just as well.
During the restoration, new body panels were fitted where needed, and the interior received a high-quality retrim. It now features rich burgundy leather seats—handmade with real attention to detail—new matching door cards, red carpets, and a classic wooden steering wheel. The cabin presents beautifully and reflects the care and craftsmanship invested throughout the car.
Externally, the paintwork gleams and the chrome wire wheels are in excellent condition. Under the bonnet, the 3. 0-litre straight-six engine with twin SU carburettors delivers 145bhp, providing a throaty, purposeful soundtrack and strong performance. The engine bay is exceptionally clean, and the car feels tight and responsive on the road, with sharp brakes and a pleasingly robust pull through the gears. Quite simply, this is one of the finest MGC GTs we've had the pleasure to drive.
Supporting paperwork includes restoration invoices totaling £21, 378, period photographs, an informal handwritten sales receipt (undated), and the all-important BMIHT Certificate. MOT records from 2017 to 2019 all show clean passes with no advisories.
The car was freshly MOT’d on 9th April 2025 and passed with no issues. It will be fully serviced prior to sale and comes with a 3-month Autoguard Warranty for added peace of mind.
This is a truly standout example of a fast-appreciating British classic—ready to be driven, shown, and thoroughly enjoyed.
