SUMMARY

A good looking example of the much sought after C Roadster from long term ownership.

DESCRIPTION

  • The MG C was very much more than a tuned MG B - a completely re-engineered car
  • Powered by BMC's trusty 145bhp, 3-litre, six-cylinder C-Series with a 4-speed box and overdrive
  • This impressive example was with its most recent owner for 41 years with two recorded keepers prior
  • Benefitting from a paint refresh in its original Tartan Red, the car presents really well
  • Very smart interior, recently retrimmed in red-piped black leather with excellent door cards and dashboard and fitted with a leather-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel
  • The black 'double-duck' hood is in great condition with clear windows and a removable hood frame. Additionally, there is a full tonneau cover that fits correctly, complete with support rails and a storage bag for the Tonneau rail
  • Fitted with after-market electric power steering which makes a real difference
