This exceptional 1947 MG TC Roadster is a ground-up restoration that has been judged to the highest standards of accuracy and finish in rigorous Antique Automobile Club of America judging, presented with AACA Junior, Senior, Grand National and Senior Grand National awards. The exterior is finished in classic British Racing Green, with properly painted silver wire wheels mounted with correct Dunlop tires. The interior has also been restored with correct Biscuit light tan leather that is in very good condition and fitted with safety belts. The finish of the wood dashboard is superb, including clear gauges, all switches, controls and trim, fitted with a Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel. A tan cloth top and top boot add to the exterior presentation, along with Lucas King of the Road headlamps with correct and rare cat's-eye lenses, a badge bar mounted with a single spotlight, an auxiliary horn and AACA awards, with dual spares mounted at the rear. With right-hand drive, this features a 1,250cc engine with 4-speed manual transmission. Under the hood, the quality and conservation of the restoration are again in evidence with the correctly painted firewall, hardware, accessories and trim all appearing like-new.
This is an important part of post-war sports car history. This car presents a unique opportunity to own what many consider to be the epitome of British classic touring convertibles and is sure to be enjoyed for years to come by its next owner.
This 1947 MG TC is a magnificent example of the classic British Roadster and is an absolute joy to drive. 1.3-Litre (1,250cc) 54hp/64lb-ft 4-Cylinder Engine. 4-Speed Manual Trans. The MG TC has truly classic looks, not unlike early Jaguars and Triumphs. The design is magic. It's elegant and absolutely stylish, with a disproportionately long hood. Professionally restored and excellent throughout. The MG TC is a standard transmission, rear-wheel-drive roadster. It represents the state-of-the-art in engine design, transmission, and suspension... for 1947. The MG does have rack and pinion steering, which for its time was a superb offering --- and was a big improvement over the reins and stirrups that were in use just a few years earlier. Because there are no controls, ergonomics are superb. The few switches that do exist are right where they should be, because there's plenty of room on the dashboard for controls and amenities that will only come decades later.
