This MG TC is a matching numbers example, excellent restoration and
has been fully mechanically restored in 2020. The MG is powered by
a 1,250cc inline-four engine paired with a four-speed manual
transmission and finished in Rally Green over tan leather. The MG
offers an authentic vintage motoring experience with
right-hand-drive configuration and classic styling cues. This MG is
showing 12,800 miles with only 1,700 miles since the engine
rebuild. This MG is in excellent overall condition, is priced to
sell, and is ready for scenic touring, vintage rallies, and
enthusiast events. 1948 MG TC represents one of the most
influential post-war British sports cars, a lightweight two-seat
roadster that helped ignite the American fascination with European
sports cars. This MG was built on November 11, 1948 at the MG works
in Abingdon-on-Thames according to factory records maintained by
the MG Car Club . The MG was originally delivered in Great Britain
and is rumored to have been owned by a Swiss film industry
executive who later shipped the roadster to Boca Raton, Florida for
seasonal driving. Under current ownership, the MG has received
servicing by the specialist shop, From The Frame Up in Mesa AZ. The
servicing spanned from 2019 to 2021 which included a full engine
rebuild, gearbox servicing, electrical replacements, brakes,
suspension and alignment, fuel sending, air filter, cooling, rear
differential, dash components, and paint touch-ups. A new
convertible top and tonneau cover were installed. This MG has been
overhauled and is ready to be enjoyed! The MG is finished in Rally
Green that is in excellent condition, complemented by sweeping
fenders and the TCs distinctive upright grille. Chrome trim
including the grille surround and lighting bezels is in excellent
condition, and the MG is fitted with the rare aftermarket Midge
radiator mascot produced by HJ Randall. The MG has a flat folding
windscreen, horn, headlights, parking lamps, fog light, windshield
wipers and dual rear-view mirrors that are all in good working
condition. The rubber trim and seals through the exterior are in
great condition. A tan convertible top and tonneau cover installed
in 2021 are in excellent condition, and optional side curtains are
included. The MG rides on 19-inch wire wheels that were installed
in 2019 and used less than 2,000 miles, with a rear-mounted spare
with MG three-eared knock-off hub. Badge bars carry Royal
Automobile Club, Great Britain, and Swiss insignia, and the
original British license plate GVE 656 remains affixed to the
front. The MG presents in excellent condition and will be
appreciated by enthusiasts! The MG interior is in overall excellent
condition reflecting the compact and purposeful cockpit typical of
the TC series. The interior is trimmed in tan leather that presents
in excellent condition with minimal signs of normal use. Gray
short-pile carpeting remains in very good condition and complements
the traditional tan textured dashboard. The dashboard includes two
map lights and has backlite instrument gauges. A four-spoke
banjo-style steering wheel frames the original Jaeger
instrumentation, maintaining the period-correct driving environment
that enthusiasts appreciate. Tan leather door panels with storage
pockets provide modest practicality within the intimate two-seat
configuration. This MG is powered by the original rebuilt 1,250cc
inline-four engine (engine number XPAG 7944) paired with a
four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drum brakes. The MG
is powered by a 12v system with generator. The mechanical work done
on the MG between 2019 and 2021 totaled over $46,000 from
documented invoices. The work includes the following: full engine
rebuilding with heads, seals, gaskets, valve seats and bearings,
clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing replacement, gearbox
pinion housing replacement, distributor replacement water pump
