1946 MG TC – Competed on HERO-ERA’s Flying Scotsman Rally
For many years the MG TC has been regarded as one of the archetypal British sports cars of its period – purposeful in appearance, with the classic rear ‘slab’ type fuel tank, long swept front wings and a brisk performance, the car was every youngster’ dream in the early post war years. Demand from North America was to take precedence in those ‘export or die’ times and the waiting list for home market cars was very long indeed.
The example offered here is believed to have spent a few early years in Ceylon before returning back to the UK. It is also quite an early example bearing chassis number TC0426. She is in fact the 175th MG TC built as the first production car was TC0251.
Restored to a very good standard this car would appear to be extremely correct. She was purchased by the current owner in 2019 and competed on HERO-ERA’s Flying Scotsman Rally in 2022 and 2023 as well as enjoying a number of MG Car Club runs.
Whilst in the current ownership maintenance has been undertaken by a local MG specialist which has included brake shoes and wheel cylinder replacement, and pre-event preparation before entering last year’s Flying Scotsman rally. Some minor paintwork rectification was also undertaken last year.
