Description for MG Other 1969
ghia > 1969 MGC Roadster!!! Here is a beautiful 1969 MGC GT that has had tens of thousands of dollars poured into it and it truly shows. This car is a great restored example of the relatively rare MGC Roadster. This car is 100% rust free car that was originally sold new in California!!! T The cars pans are incredibly rust free and the car looks to be accident free as well. This car has had a very nice restoration and has been driven and enjoyed, his is a GREAT driving car. This car according to the previous owners has only traveled 53k miles since new! The car was throughly gone throught featuring a bare metal paint job, ew interior, rebuilt carbs, rakes, teering wheel, ydrolics etc... This car is in excellent running condition and is 100% turn key ready. The engine fires right up and the car has PLENTY of power coming from the large Austin 2912cc straight 6. This is a very smooth running engine with very crisp throttle response. The cars transmission shifts beautifully and the car is a blast to drive. The steering is nice and tight and the cars power brakes work very well. The body on this car is absolutely laser straight and the doors line up great. The cars underside is rust free, riginal and in excellent condition. One look under the hood, nd you can see that this car has been lovingly cared for and given lots attention to detail. These cars are great cars to drive and enjoy either daily or just for fun on the weekends. They are beautiful to look at, are to see (about 4400 built world wide over 3 years), asy and even fun to maintain due to there simplicity. This is a turn key MGC that is ready to be driven and enjoyed. This is a beautiful car that will surely make its new owner very happy!
Why these cars are not as valuable or more valuable than a Austin Healey 3000 is beyond me. These cars have the same great engine, ut C is built on a unibody which just rides and handles worlds better that a Healey 3000. The two don't even compare. There is so much more room, significantly better ride and far fewer produced. One day the market will wake up to these great cars. As a side note, have been looking for an MGC roadster for 10 years but struggled to find one that passed the muster. I will regret selling this truly great car!
This is a buy it now or best offer listing. This car is availble for purchase at anytime. There is no advantage to waiting for the end of the listing to purchase the car. In fact, would prefer a quick sale at a lower price than waiting for more money at the end of the listing. Please feel free to call and ask questions and make an offer!

The bumpers are in beautiful condition and if you look at the rear bumper you will see an emblem from when it was in california! What a great little touch! The doors open and shut beautifully on the car as do the hood and trunk. The whole car just screams quality with the high level of detailing. The previous owner truly did a great job with this car.

The modern stereo is nice because unlike most classic, ou actually want to drive this car. The seats are so comfortable, he ride is very nice, he engine is powerful and sounds great, his is just a car that you look forward to driving! The steering wheel is a gorgeous motolita steering wheel which feels excellent in your hands and the factory steering wheel is included as well. All of the gauges and lights work.

Overall, would say that the interior is in excellent shape!!! Click to enlarge Engine: The 2912cc straight 6 engine starts up and runs like a top!!! One twist of the key is all it takes to start this car. The carbs have been rebuilt and tuned to perfection!!! The engine fires right up and blowns no smoke on start up or while driving. The car has great compression across all cylinders. This is by far the best sounding model that ever came off the Abingdon production line. The straight six really gives the MG the power and the sound on par with the other great sports cars of the time. The engine also has very strong oil pressure. The engine is fed by two SU carbs and really moves the car along quite well. This MGC runs nice and cool even in Arizonas sweltering heat. The engine bay is virtually clean enough to eat off of. The car was the subject of a bare metal engine out paint job and it was done by true professionals. The results are a show worthy engine bay. The level of detail in the engine bay speaks volumes to the quality of the car. The transmission shifts through all of the gears with ease and the clutch operates smoothingly as well!!! The shift linkage really has a postive feel to the gear change. The car rides, teers and stops GREAT! The car tracks beautifully down the road and the disc brakes are strong and stop this car with ease. Both the clutch and master cylinders were rebuilt at the time of restoration giving both great braking feel and clutch feel. The water pump and radiator were replaced as well. The car rides on a great looking set of original chrome wire wheels. This really is a great driving MGC that can be driven daily or just for fun on the weekends. The car is great fun to drive. Everything works, rom the windshield wipers and all of the lights. These are great cars because they are very reliable and any part you might need is readily available and very inexpensive.
