MG TC, 1949 information

Photo overview  -  MG history  -  Technical data
Information

The MG TC was the first new post-war MG. The TC was introduced in 1945, and based on the pre-war TB, it was very similar. A major improvement to the TC was the larger interior, which was increased by 10 cm. The design was similar to the pre-war TB, with swept separate wings, large 19-inch wire wheels and a folding windshield.
The MG TB/TC series were much admired by the American soldiers who were on the point of returning to America; this type of small sports car with its smooth handling, was not yet known in America...
As a result, many TBs and TCs were shipped to America, and also the MG TC was in great demand at the other side of the pond.
All TCs had right-hand steering, leaf springs all around and a 54 bhp four-cylinder engine.
In 1950, the MG TC was succeeded by the MG TD.
