1948 MG TC

'Traditional Style from a Charming Forties Sportscar'

"In a motoring world in which... cars tend more and more to resemble one another in appearance, the MG two-seater stands unique..."

The Autocar - 17 October 1947

In October 1945, inside five weeks of the official conclusion of the Second World War, MG announced the immortal TC.

Closely related to pre-war products from Abingdon, this traditional British car combines the styling of a swept-wing two-seater that so epitomizes MGs early years, with an emerging post-war driveability that lends itself readily to today’s discerning motorist.

Hydraulic brakes, synchro-mesh gearbox and adequate, if by no means lightning performance makes this classic MG the ideal car for nostalgic touring. Take the wicker hamper, picnic and travel rug and step back into a past and pleasant era of British motoring.

The MG TC can also be largely attributed with opening up the sportscar export market from Britain to the United States.

As the peerless MG historian F. Wilson McComb wrote in his history of the MG sportscar, the TC "...transformed American motor racing from a little-known professional sport into an activity within everyone’s reach. Even the Sports Car Club of America sprang from one small branch of the MG Car Club. One can scarcely believe that a couple of thousand little old fashioned two-seaters could so influence the taste of an entire nation". Indeed a remarkable little car.

The MG TC offers fun touring for those who would enjoy the challenge of an involving drive with nostalgia in abundance...

Please note as per the original design the MG TC does not carry seatbelts.
