A rare opportunity to acquire a nicely restored MGC Roadster finished in British Racing Green. Fitted with BMC's renowned 3 ltr, six cyclinder engine, the car was originally sold to the US market and on return to the UK, has benefited from RHD conversion, replacement of lower body panels as necessary and a quality re spay. The original leather seats have been retained, but the dash, upholstery, instruments and carpets have all been recently refreshed with quality items. On test this car drives with the smoothness and grace expected form these torquey power units, delivering power any time it is needed without a fuss! The gearbox and Overdrive have been reconditioned and the resulting package is an excellent car to drive. The car is presented for sale on behalf of the owner. Viewing by appointment on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays*. (*Open until 1pm on Saturdays).

Bodywork

In strong condition all round having had extensive restoration work to sills and lower wings etc.

Mechanical

Well maintained throughout. Recent gearbox and Overdrive overhaul. Good and clean under the bonnet / underside.

Exterior

Very smart, bright paint and chrome work. Bright, clean new wire wheels fitted on restoration in 2019.

Interior

Mostly renewed on restoration and a very tidy, original cabin for driver and passenger.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
