The MG TC was unveiled to the market in 1945 and was the first
post-war MG model. The new model had the same layout and lines as
the pre-war TB with some minor improvements. MG widened the body of
the TC by four inches and improved interior space while the 1,250cc
inline 4-cylinder engine saw an increased compression ratio that
and raised power output to 55 horsepower. Handling was also
improved with new shackled suspension springs verses the trunnion
mounted springs of the TB model. Despite the TCs’ dated appearance,
the car was widely accepted, especially by American GI’s who had
begun to export their cars back to the U.S. after they returned
from serving in the war. Despite being only produced in
right-hand-drive, the TC was exported and sold new to the U.S.
market, who fell in love with the nimble handling and simplicity of
the TC that proved to be easily modified for sporty drivers and
professional racers. Only 10,000 TCs’ would be produced by the time
production ended in November 1949, approximately 2,000 of which
would be sold new in the U.S. The MG TC is the perfect combination
of pre-war style with post-war performance and when new, helped to
solidify MG as a sports car company. Today, this charming British
roadster is one of the many post-war classics that are highly
respected and collected in both professional and enthusiast
circles.
