⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

This is a big deal MGC - it's one of three Sebring convertibles produced by John Chatham with provenance to prove - opportunities like this don't come up everyday.

First launched at the Earls Court Motor Show on October 18, 1967, the MGC was British Motor Corporation's replacement for the Austin-Healey 3000. BMC changed up the the Austin-Healey focusing on improving its emission tests and safety regulations, and the company quickly searched for a six-cylinder replacement engine for upgraded power.

MG at their Abingdon factory laid down to build 6 MGC lightweight GTs for long distance races, but only two were finished - these are extremely collectible and of most value. John Chatham, bought the unfinished four cars from the factory, with associated spares, and built those cars. These are also highly collectible and valuable with the most recent one selling for €140,000 back in 2016.

But the story doesn't stop there - John saw the opportunity to build a roadster version of the car, and he did, creating an example for himself and two other cars on customer order - this car being one of those two orders.

This car was built with the same flared wheel arches molded from the original factory car, with wider wheels and larger tyres, modified suspension, works torsion bars, unrated shock absorbers, a Qualife style LSD fitted, engine modified with triple weber carburettors, six branch exhaust and 300 degree camshaft.

John always believed the factory should have developed this specification and thought it would have then stayed in production much longer.

So this example is very special - it's certified as being one of three convertible cars produced by John Chatham with a letter from John confirming the provenance.

In more recent times, the car has benefitted from a huge amount of refurbishment work and comes with a great amount of invoicing and service history.

As we're sure you'll agree, it's a true classic with investment potential written all over it.
