The Plus

The first post-war MG, the TC may not have been a very advanced car, but it was a breath of fresh air for a population in search of renewal. The British sports car was fast becoming a work of art, and the TC was arguably the forerunner of that. When American soldiers returned home, they often took these little British marvels with them. Despite its somewhat old-fashioned lines, the TC was the epitome of style, and it was the first MG model to sell more than 10,000 units.

Restored from a bare chassis, this 1947 TC has been meticulously refurbished and now sports a superb British Racing Green livery with beige leather interior. Five years after its restoration, it has covered just 1,361 miles (2,190 km) and still looks stunning - a magnificent reinterpretation of this iconic post-war roadster.

Supplied with a Technical Inspection valid until April 2027, this car is an exceptional classic that will undoubtedly delight its future owner.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
