How many MG C are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 123,023 on the road Built 1967-1970 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
An MGB with a 3.0-litre straight six, sold only from 1967 to 1969 as a roadster and GT. A bulge in the bonnet was needed to clear the taller engine, and the extra weight over the nose gave it a reputation for dull handling when new. Time has been kinder: it is now valued as a relaxed, long-legged tourer.

The most are from 1968: 22 still registered. Every year is listed under the chart.
