Featuring classic prewar styling, nimble handling, and startling
performance from its 1,250cc engine, the MG TC
almostsingle-handedlyintroduced North Americans to British sports
cars. The TC also served as the early racing mount of many of the
top racing drivers of the 1950s, including eventual Le Mans
champion Carroll Shelby, who won his first race in a TC during the
early 1950s. It also helped create the British sports-car parts and
service businesses in North America. This handsome MG TC was built
on October 14, 1948, and as offered, it sports an older restoration
and remains quite attractive. Finished in Blue Metallic paint with
a Beige canvas top and Biscuit interior with Black carpeting, this
TC comes with weather gear including a zippered tonneau cover and
side curtains. Power is delivered by a proper 1,250cc XPAG inline
4-cylinder engine, paired with an updated 5-speed manual gearbox
for relaxed cruising and better performance. Interesting features
include Lucas 'King of the Road' headlamps, an Auster fold-out
windscreen, Lucas windshield wipers, signal lights and taillights,
and Cream-colored 19-inch knock-off wire wheels. The engine and
surrounding engine compartment are quite tidy and well-maintained,
as are the chassis and suspension, which remain in OEM
specification. Accessories include a Lucas driving light and Lucas
Altette horn, a RAC badge, a rear luggage rack, and a rear
spare-tire carrier with a spare wheel/tire mounted. A
coolant-temperature gauge, seat belts, newer correct-type exhaust,
and an armrest/storage bin are desirable additions. A historic
British sports car, this highly engaging 1948 MG TC is a motoring
icon that is ready to collect, enjoy, and appreciate.WE WILL TAKE
