MG

The MGC - intended as a replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III - was a 2,912 cc, straight-six version of the MGB sold from 1967 and produced until August 1969 with some sales running on into 1970. The heavy engine and new suspension changed the vehicle's handling, and it received a mixed response in the automotive press. Poor reviews also stemmed from the fact that, despite BMC's marketing, the MGC was not considered a direct replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000 and neither was it a higher-performance MGB. The MGC was cancelled in 1969 after less than two years of production.
