MG MGC Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1967–1969) — First Generation
The first-generation MG MGC took the familiar British sports car formula and gave it a larger engine up front, creating a long-legged coupe built for relaxed, high-speed touring rather than outright corner-carving agility.
The MG MGC engine is a 3.0-litre gasoline unit driving the rear wheels, as in the 3.0 MT Coupe. That extra capacity means strong pulling power low down, so you change gear less often. The manual transmission suits the car's character, letting you hold taller gears on open roads.
