1967 MG MGC GT Sebring (RHD)
MG cars was first founded officially in 1930 and soon garnered a popular following in the British Sports Car world with models such as the Magnette, Magna, VA, SA and more, ranging from regular saloon’s to supercharged, 6-Cylinder racers which were seriously competitive and remain extremely desirable today. After the war, MG produced the TC which was the last of the 1930s models before moving forth to the new TD and TF which were really the last of the traditional MG models before far more modern models were launched, namely the MGA and the MGB, one of the most successful sports cars of all time.
In 1967, the MGC was introduced with far gruntier running gear, a 3-Litre Straight Six engine with Twin SU Carburettors and capable of a respectable 145BHP. The 60s also found racing success for the MGs all over the world, notably at Sebring where GTs raced successfully, equipped with Sebring bodywork that has become quite iconic and very popular for its large front and rear haunches, covered headlights and removed bumpers, all making for a seriously mean looking little racer.
This lovely MGC GT we present to you today is a car that has been tastefully modified and uprated throughout to make it the perfect car for Road Rallies and events. It comes with extensive receipts and invoices dating all the way back to the late 1980s and has consistently been a well maintained car, with both marque and motorsport experts. The car has also recently benefitted from a repaint in a very elegant Golden Beige Metallic (notably its original colours) with white front valance and blank racing roundels. It sits on a set of deep Minilites in chunky tyres, which fir the big arches perfectly. The interior has also been seen to Sparco seats, replacement door cards and a quilted leather gearbox tunnel. The car is of course equipped with a roll cage, rally timers and has been tastefully uprated with features such as a Stage 2 engine, power steering, competition overdrive and of course full Sebring bodywork with front foglamps and numerous other modifications that increase the usability of this car, both for regular driving and road rallies. If you’re set on finally doing some events and road rallies that you always wanted to do, this is a fantastic car to enjoy those events in with the preparations already made.
