First launched in 1967 the MGC was intended to replace the long running and highly successful Austin Healey 3000 series, however the faithful “Big Healey” were not convinced!. The MGC used a mixture of modified MGB bodyshell and a tuned 2912cc 6 cylinder engine, which it shared with the new Austin 3 Litre saloon. The MGC did feature some distinguishing features such as a small bonnet bulge (to accommodate one of the twin SU carbs) and 15″ wheels. The MGC was also considerably more expensive than the MGB, this was not easy to justify to the public as the two cars looked so similar!
