The body of a small, beautiful British roadster which came to us from the greater Stuttgart area.
We were able to quickly repair small accident damage and the usual rust on the sills. The aluminum hood was a little more difficult. If you weld steel, you can't automatically weld aluminum. If you hold the flame on the material for a second too long, the aluminum turns into a thin liquid mass that also changes the structure. Therefore, only have aluminum welded by a specialist, otherwise problems are inevitable.

A lesser-known but fascinating chapter in the history of British sports cars, the MGC was produced between 1967 and 1969. Developed as a more powerful variant of the popular MGB, the MGC was intended to fill a gap in the MG model range. A striking technical difference from the MGB was the use of an inline six-cylinder engine.
The 2.9-litre engine, derived from the Austin-Healey 3000, produced around 145bhp and gave the MGC significantly improved performance. However, this extra power came at the cost of increased weight in the front of the car, which changed the handling. Some critics complained that the MGC was less agile than the MGB, although it could reach higher speeds.
Externally, the MGC closely resembled the MGB, but featured minor changes such as a domed bonnet to accommodate the larger engine. The interior of the MGC was typical of British sports cars of the era: relatively spartan but functional.
Despite its improved performance, the MGC did not achieve the expected sales success. One reason for this was that it was so little different from the MGB. In addition, the MGC came at a time of change in the automotive industry, with buyers increasingly looking for more sophisticated and modern vehicles.
After just two years and fewer than 9,000 units produced, the MGC ceased production, making it a rare collector's item today. For classic sports car enthusiasts, the MGC offers a unique combination of 1960s aesthetics and the raw power of a six-cylinder engine. Its short lifespan and rarity have made it a sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts who want to own a piece of automotive history.
