Comments from the dealer
1948 MG TC ROADSTER - 1,081 MILES SHOWING
Probably one of the most popular MG models ever made, this model is really just a post war example of the earlier TA and TB pre war models, which had to be suspended during the war years as the Abingdon MG factory was turned over to the Ministry of Defence to assist in the war production of weapons and materials.
The US servicemen based in the UK during the war just fell in love with MG Midget design and driving down English country lanes, so when the conflict was over and they were sent home, they pined for this car.
Lovingly known by many past and present owners as "bone shakers", they are such fun cars to drive because they deserve all your attention and give you back so many reasons to smile.
As a direct result of US demand, the TC was developed by MG and export sales sky rocketed. Later models, particularly the MGA and MGB directly were riding on the initial success of the TC's US market success.
Presented here is a much loved and restored TC #9260, in a very traditional colour combination of Green with Green interior and a Tan coloured roof.
We hold an original style instruction manual (Handbook), which comes with the car.
Powered originally by a 1.25Lt 4 cylinder engine, it produced (54.4bhp) 40.6Kw of power, delivered to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual gearbox. Performance figures suggest 0-100kph in 21.3 secs and a top speed near 130kph.
The current owner has supplied the a large folder of documents, magazines, parts catalogue and photos relating to the current condition of the car. He purchased the car in 1986, so there is a wealth of knowledge, love, toil and expense put into this car over nearly 40 years of ownership.
This example would please the most fastidious MG enthusiast and would be an ideal car for classic car events, show and shines and cruises.
Eligible for Historic registration in most jurisdictions, this equates to minimal on road costs.
The current SA plates # 308-783 are not available with this sale.
