Meticulous Resto/3.0L 6 Cylinder/3 Weber 2bbl Carbs/4-Speed Manual/Well Sorted

1969 MG MGC Convertible Additional Info:

1969 MG MGC Convertible For consignment, a 1969 MG MGC convertible showing 24,369 miles which are not actual. This car was purchased in England and restored by MG specialists there, then shipped to the U.S., overhauled and garage kept and fair weather driven its entire post restoration life. There's some real pedigree here and a very nice example of one of the less common MG's you're bound to see at All England shows. Exterior There are two desirable exterior colors, (subjectively), you want on a British sports car, and red is one of them! Like the scarlet tunic of the British army, this car is proudly bathed in Tartan Red and despite the slight scowl formed by the toothy grille and power bulge hood, this presents as a happy and eager little car that coyly begs to be driven. The waist is enhanced by a polished trim piece that runs stem to stern, picking up on the glean of the 15-inch Minilite replica wheels and tail ends of wrap-around chrome bumpers at each end. MG's diminutive tail lights cap the rear fenders, reverse lights on the latch panel, and a smooth decklid presents like a billiard 3 ball. The distinctive hood, with cross trim and an extra offset bulge is a stunning feature, backed by a chrome cowl intake and robust polished windscreen frame. Up top, the black canvas top shows slight patina and hazing of the plastic window but is fully intact. Beyond that, we could not find any glaring exterior imperfections. Interior Simple black vinyl door cards are tidy and in very good condition and paving the way for the front bucket seats, well padded and black and the tuck and roll stitching could use a deep detail, but as is they are in beautiful shape. A beefy, sporty leather wrapped steering wheel fronts a typically simple dash with main gauges split from the center and the only color on the black faced dials is the orange and red cautionary colors on the tach. Knobs for vent control are presented as tactile pieces providing a good grip that can be felt through your leather driving gloves, just next to the asymmetrical glove box door that is always a fun feature. A black knobbed stout shifter is on the floor which in turn, is covered in very nice black low pile carpet. The trunk is barren but red, and is home to a matching spare. Drivetrain Under the hood, a clean and endlessly interesting 3.0 liter inline six, putting out 145 horsepower and fueled by 3 Weber side draft 2-barrel carburetors. A 4-speed manual transmission backs the 6 cylinder, sending power to the rear axle with 3.307 gears. Disc brakes are supplied in the front and drums in the rear. Undercarriage Glossy red paint dominates the underside where minimal surface rust is found and only residual oil on the pan. The dual exhaust travels in tandem down the length of the car before encountering Maniflow mufflers just before leaving the shade of the underside as twin chrome tips out back. Suspension consists of upgraded torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back and we confirm polyurethane bushing for both front and rear suspension. An LHD "Quick" steering pinion is onboard giving the car a 2.9 lock to lock turn instead of 3.7. Drive-Ability And that shorter lock to lock is immediately noticeable as we circle the MGC around the test loop, handling assisted by improved suspension and that classic low center of gravity. Obviously, this car provides a more spirited ride than the "typical" MG and this well sorted car enjoys a completely functional operation. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. "From England With Love" would be the title of this car's soundtrack and this UK ex-pat now enjoys life in the states where it is a stand out among legendary British sports cars. Not only a wonderfully sorted car, but a blast to drive and the perfect antidote to a boring weekend. If you live in warmer climes, year round fun is at your fingertips with this little go getter. Those of use with seasons can enjoy this car April through October, then tuck it in a small space as we wait for the ground to thaw. Wherever you are, this is an MG that should be on your radar.
