Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted August 24, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted August 24, 2019 Always liked the MGC... my cousin had one 30 odd years ago (YLN280G) but sold it and I saw it at Goodwood B’fast club a few years back. Lovely torquey engine and I believe the handling is much better with modern tyres. I’m sure I read somewhere that the original road test in the 60s was done in a car with under inflated tyres! Who knows, but it got a bit of a bad rep for handling as a result.Lovely looking car... good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogW Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I also have an MGC GT (mind is a manual) - she will be 50 years old in December. Modern tyres and some decent shocks make a MASSIVE difference to the cars. Lovely lazy torque - they keep up with modern traffic VERY well. Good thing is that most parts are fully available. I added electric power steers to mine - which makes it very easy to drive. The straight six makes a lovely noise. While they are no where near a 7 in performance - they are great touring cars. They are a nice route in to classic car ownership - interesting but without being crazy money.Good luck with the sale - the car looks great!R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
