It was obvious that the body of the MGB would have given room enough for more powerful engines. As part of the considerations of BMC, which vehicle could possibly be a successor to the rapidly aging Austin Healey, the MGC was born. With the same recipe that brought a heavy 3 liter R6 into the Austin Healey, the MGC received a huge cast-iron six-in-line engine from the depths of the Austin shelves. Extensive redesign of the MGB structure was necessary, although it is visible only through the hump on the hood. With today's tires and a supporting romanticizing view the MGC is now better rated than in the contemporary press. There are only about 9000 units being built, the market is tight. We are proud to assist in the preservation through the supply of parts.
