1968 MG C GT

GCD13873GroadUnited Kingdom

A 1968 MGC GT finished in Snowberry White with black upholstery, built between 7 and 9 October 1968 and despatched on 11 October 1968 as a UK right-hand-drive car. One of fewer than 4,500 MGC GTs produced before the model was discontinued in 1969, this example forms part of the Twin Sparks Collection and underwent a fully documented comprehensive restoration in 2018, with parts and labour costs recorded in detail. It is considered an increasingly scarce and desirable survivor of the short-lived six-cylinder MGB derivative.
