The Appeal
The MG C originates from one of the most intriguing chapters in MG's storied history, offering a powerful 2.9-litre straight-six engine in the beloved MGB bodyshell. Often overlooked in period but increasingly appreciated today, the 'C' has become a fixture for those seeking that familiar character with a more charismatic, throaty engine note.
This particular 1969 example has been comprehensively rebuilt to high standards, with considerable investment. The exterior has been completely refreshed, and the interior trim thoroughly renewed - all of which is still in excellent order. Adjoined by a comprehensive paperwork file and with plenty of time on its voluntary MOT, this is a simply superb classic.
