1969 MGC GT

The 1969 MGC GT is a rare, two-door fixed-roof coupe version of the MG MGC model, known for its powerful 2912 cc straight-six engine, styling resembling a "baby Aston Martin," and a relatively short production run from 1967 to 1969. It featured a noticeable bonnet bulge to accommodate the larger engine, which differentiated it from the MGB it was based on. The MGC GT offered increased power and comfort over the standard MGB, making it a capable grand tourer.
