Comentários do vendedor sobre 1968' MG C-Type
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.Introduced in 1967, the MG C was a 2, 912cc, straight-six version of the MG B. In twin SU carburettor form the engine produced a lusty 145bhp at 5, 250rpm and when fed through an overdrive gearbox or a three-speed automatic the car was capable of 120mph and 0-60 in just under ten secondsThe bodyshell needed considerable revision from its smaller-engined sister, particularly around the engine bay and to the floor pan, but externally the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a 'teardrop' for carburettor clearanceIt had different brakes from the MG B, 15-inch wheels, a lower geared rack and pinion, and special torsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. Production ran for barely two years and totalled 8, 999 cars, making the C one of the rarest MGs of the eraThe example offered here dates from 05/ 03/ 1968 and is particularly rare as it is one of only 92 UK cars fitted with an automatic gearbox. Finished in Tartan Red over a black leather interior, it was optioned with wire wheels, a heater and Tonneau cover and was dispatched on 01/ 08/ 1968 to University Motors, London and onwards to its first ownerIt's believed to been restored to a high standard in the early 2000s and more recently has been treated to an engine service and work to the rear brakesIt's accompanied by its handbook, Heritage Certificate, a file of receipts and invoices, magazine articles and a copy of MG Enthusiast (2022) in which VMC 492G featuresIn conclusion, a fantastic opportunity to acquire a very rare automatic gearbox example of an alternative British roadster that, despite a difficult start, has turned into a venerable grand tourer
