STORY

The MGC, built from 1967 to 1969, was a more powerful sibling of the MGB with a 2.9-litre straight-six engine for easy cruising at high speed. Its heavier front end changed the handling balance and got mixed reviews at launch, so it was built for a short time. Today it is rare and sought after as a grand-touring classic.
