The TC Midget was the first postwar MG,[1]�and was launched in
1945. The TC is quite accurately well known as the (specific) car
that caused the Sport Car "craze" in America. It was quite similar
to the pre-war TB, sharing the same 1,250�cc (76�cu�in)
pushrod-OHV�engine with a slightly higher compression ratio of
7.4:1 giving 54.5�bhp (40.6�kW) at 5200 rpm. The makers also
provided information for several alternative stages of tuning for
"specific purposes".[5]�The XPAG engine is well known for its
tunability. The TC engine was a slightly improved version of the
XPAG first introduced to MG in the TB. Notable improvement was
through the addition of a hydraulically (oil pressure) adjusted
timing chain tensioner. All TCs utilized a (single battery) 12 volt
electrical system. All TCs came with 19"�Dunlop�wire wheels.
Automatic mechanical timing advance was built into the ignition
distributor. It was exported to the United States, even though the
car was only ever built in right-hand drive.[6]�The export version
had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights
(7-inch buckets) and twin tail lights, as well as turn signals and
chromed front and rear bumpers with over riders. The MG TC featured
here is finished in Sequoia Cream with a gorgeous green leather
interior and tan convertible top. The car sat and after 42 years in
storage, it was fully restored with no expense spared by Marquis
