1969 MGC

[@user-ts1fp4nm9y]

Nice score!!! I would love to own that car!!! Well done!!

I worked at British Motors of Monterey for many years. In 1970 I bought a 1969 MGC GT in Mineral Blue. 4 Speed Automatic transmission and a Webasto sun roof. I miss that car. I now have a 1963 MGB .

A friend of mine in the UK (1970s), whose father owned a dealership had one of these. If I ever get one, I'll try and find an automatic, like the one he had. I suspect survivors have been converted though. The old 3-speed gearbox worked extremely well and I think suited the car. The kick-down was particularly impressive.

I had one. I remember that huge steering wheel - which eventually broke. If you had your sunglasses on the dash when you went - too quickly - around a sharp turn, your sunglasses would slide right across the dash and out the window. Great restoration!

Very nice MGC. I have never seen headrests like that. Ours is a 68 European spec LHD so basically English spec.

I believe it was North America only.

Nice. Friend wrapped one around a tree when 20. JD Simon

Being a little pedantic here but the colour is not British Racing Green. That colour is GTO Green. BRG is much darker.

Very good work!

[@jagsimon640]

Thank you! Cheers!

Lovely car. I would prefer the Overdrive to drop the revs more substantially however, I feel such a large engine could take it no problem.

Hi, beautiful car. Have you ever had a chance to drive a TR6, pre emissions (74 and earlier)? I'd sure like to know the difference in feel. I have a 74 TR6.

How to put down soft top on 68 mgb. Please play video

[@bertiewooster3326]

Only in California could it have survived like this in the UK it would be rusted! Check the date on the windscreen to see if original one dots under the triplex logo give the date look it up. Twin servos !! Must stop on a sixpence!

[@mrz1949]

It is actually a MGB, the letter B is for the production series, I own a 1973 Red MGB that’s why I dare to make the correction, nice car though

[@mrpalm54]

Sure looks like my MGC although not in as good as condition.

[@jagsimon640]

MGC's were modified MGB's with a 6 cylinder engine and torsion bar front suspension. They had a two year production run and they made about 9,000 total.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@jagsimon640 Additionally they had 15 " wire wheels and more. The car in the video is a true MGC and not a B with a bump in the bonnet.

Not its not its a genuine MGC

I had a 69 MGC GT back in the mid 1970’s. Sadly typical British problems. Sold it for about two thirds of what I paid for it. And called myself ahead.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

I, too, had a 1969 MGC GT bought in 1970. Never had a single problem, not one. As an employee of British Motors of Monterey ( mechanic and later Asst Service Mgr) I maintained my car.. something I have experienced most Americans do not respect. Well maintained Brit cars , such as my current 1963 MGB roadster , last a long time.. very robust if respected.

Hi , can you tell me if your MGC is advertised on web. And if your name is Roland . Thanks .
