The seller offers for sale a 1968 MG MGC GT, a classic British coupe combining elegant styling with touring ability. First imported from Belgium in 1986, it underwent a restoration that addressed both cosmetic and mechanical aspects. Since then, the car has been maintained in driving condition and regularly used for club meetings and long trips. It runs reliably, starts without hesitation, produces no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. Recent work includes new rear brake cylinders, brake lines, and master brake cylinder. Inside, the car retains its original trim with minor imperfections and a body-colored dashboard from the restoration period. The body is structurally solid, though some corrosion is visible at common points such as the rear windowsill and left-side panels. This MGC CGT provides both originality and tasteful upgrades for improved usability.
The MG MGC CGT was launched in 1967 as a grand touring version of the beloved MGB, distinguished by its 2.9-liter straight-six engine. It offered greater performance while keeping the charm and practicality of the hatchback-style GT body. Known for its comfortable ride and long-distance capability, the MGC was positioned as a more refined companion to the MGB, appealing to drivers seeking a blend of British sports car character and usability. Though produced for only a short period, the MGC has since gained appreciation among enthusiasts for its rarity, smooth power delivery, and distinctive character. As a collectible today, it offers both historic value and enjoyable driving, making it a sought-after classic for touring and shows alike.
