Introduced in late 1945, the MG TC boasted a wider cockpit than its TB predecessor but shared a similar ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. With its dual-cowl dashboard, fold-flat windscreen, cutaway-doors, swept wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TC looked every inch the traditional sportscar. Powered by Abingdon's renowned XPAG 1250cc OHV four-cylinder engine, it was reputedly capable of 78mph. The last MG product to ride on nineteen-inch wire wheels, the TC attracted a strong following in the USA (especially among demobbed servicemen).
