MG cranked out 81 new TCs in 1945, when materials (and everything else, for that matter) was in short supply, then another 1,600 in 1946, and finally 3,000 in 1948. In all, 10,000 were made until the model was discontinued in 1949. South Africa and Australia bought quite a few, but the big surprise was America, where 2,000 were sold and about 1,500 others were imported privately. There was even a North American model, still RHD, but with turn signal... flashers and vertical chrome bumpers. In all, the MG TC offers a cheerful way to experience motoring as it was at the dawn of the post-war era. The T-Series MGs are fairly robust mechanically, though some engine and transmission parts are becoming more difficult to find. Keep in mind that T-Series cars were designed for weekly maintenance, so make sure everything is properly greased and oiled before driving far." We are pleased to offer this wonderfully restored 1947 MG TC Roadster for consideration. The car is finished in classic, British Racing Green over green interior. The car has been through an extensive and highly detailed restoration using only original, refurbished or correct original parts. The car appears to feature all correct numbers and features excellent mechanicals throughout. The interior remains very tidy, excellent dash, original Jaeger Gauges, clock, three spoke steering wheel, highly detailed engine bay, full soft top with side curtains, door pockets, console. The signature 19-inch spoke wheels are excellent, true and mounted with newer tires. What an opportunity of acquire on of Britain's best.
