The TC Midget was the first postwar MG launched in 1945. 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 54.5bhp (40.6 kW) at 5200 rpm. The makers also provided several alternative stages of tuning. The TC was quite unusual in that it was only ever built in right-hand drive. The export version had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights and larger twin rear lights, as well as turn signals and chrome-plated front and rear bumpers.
The body was approximately 100 mm wider than the TB measured at the rear of the doors to give more cockpit space. The overall car width remained the same resulting in narrower running boards with two tread strips as opposed to the previous three. The tachometer was directly in front of the driver, while the speedometer was on the other side of the dash in front of the passenger. 10,001 TCs were produced, from September 1945 (chassis number TC0251) to Nov. 1949 (chassis number TC10251), more than any previous MG model. It cost £527 on the home market in 1947.
This car was restored more than 20 years ago and is in near concourse condition. The car was restored by the legendary Ben Gerber who is known for his Healey restorations, but he restored this car as part of series of early MG T cars that he restored in the late 1990's. The car comes with a soft top and side screens, tonneau cover, and wire wheels.
You would be hard pressed to find another MG TC in this condition.
