1968 MG MGC

The MG MGC Roadster arrived in 1967 as British Leylands answer to the departure of the Austin-Healey 3000, offering grand touring performance beneath MGs iconic octagon badge.

Under its distinctive long hood sat a 2912cc C-Series inline six-cylinder engine producing 145 horsepower. Derived from the Austin-Healey 3000 powerplant, it transformed the familiar MGB platform into a capable high-speed touring machine. Paired with a fully synchronized four-speed manual transmission and Laycock overdrive, the MGC delivered effortless cruising and strong performance.
The MGCs signature hood bulge, purposeful stance, and optional wire wheels helped distinguish it from the MGB. During its brief three-year production run, only 8,999 examples were built, with just 2,596 Roadsters produced for the 1968 model year.

This 1968 MG MGC Roadster is presented in red over a black vinyl interior with a removable soft top.

This 1968 MG MGC Roadster is offered with a clean Missouri title.
