Model history

After the end of the Second World War, MG started production of the TC in 1945, which was based on the previous TB model. The MG TC combined classic British roadster design with simple engineering and was an immediate success. Although it was only available as a right-hand drive model, a large number were imported to the USA. The MG TC was instrumental in igniting the passion for sports cars in America. With over 10,000 units produced, it was the most-built MG-T model of its time. Its blend of lightness, agility and charm made it a unique vehicle of the era.

    Technik: Der MG T-Type mit den Modellen TA, TB, TC, TD und TF war ein einfacher Roadster mit separatem Rahmen, den MG von 1936 bis 1955 herstellte. Danach wurde er durch den MGA ersetzt. Der MG TC war der erste Wagen, den MG nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg 1945 herausbrachte. Er sah dem Vorkriegs-TB sehr ähnlich und hatte fast den gleichen Motor. Mit geringfügig auf 7,4 : 1 erhöhter Kompression leistete er 54,5 bhp (40 kW) bei 5200/min. Der Innenraum des neuen Wagens war breiter und bot eine modernere Ausstattung. Er erreichte eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 140 km/h. Der MT TC wurde auch in die USA exportiert, allerdings nur in rechtsgelenkter Ausführung. Die Exportversion hatte geringfügig kleinere „Sealed Beam“-Scheinwerfer nach US-Standard, größere, doppelte Rücklichter, eine Blinkanlage und verchromte Stoßfänger vorn und hinten. Es wurden über 10.000 Fahrzeuge gefertigt, für MG-Verhältnisse eine große Zahl. 1947 kostete das Fahrzeug in Großbritannien! LG Tom
