The seller offers for sale this 1969 MG MGC Cabriolet, an elegant British roadster with a documented restoration completed after being imported from Miami in 2021. Formerly owned by a well-known author, the car has undergone a body restoration and full repaint in its original colour. Numerous invoices document the restoration, including a new battery, new leather interior with contrast piping, and recent spark plug and carburettor service. This example comes with both a soft top and its original hardtop, making it a versatile and appealing collector’s piece. The black convertible roof is new and fits, providing good weather protection and a tight seal when closed. The original hardtop, finished to match the body, adds practicality for colder months and long-distance touring.
The MG C was introduced in 1967 as a more powerful alternative to the MGB, fitted with a smooth 2.9-litre straight-six engine delivering effortless torque and refinement. While it shared the MGB’s attractive styling, its upgraded performance and grand touring character set it apart. Today, the MG C is admired for its comfortable ride, distinctive sound, and understated charm. Its rarity compared to the MGB makes it a sought-after choice among collectors seeking a usable British classic with long-distance capability and solid engineering.
