MG TC '48 1948
General description :
The MG T series of cars (including the TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF) was produced from 1936 through to 1955. It was replaced by the MGA. The TC Midget was the first postwar MG, and was launched in 1945. It was quite similar to the pre-war TB, sharing the same 1,250 cc engine with a slightly higher compression ratio. It was exported to the United States, even though the car was only ever built in right-hand drive. The export version had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights (7-inch buckets) and twin tail lights, as well as turn signals and chromed front and rear bumpers with over riders. 10,001 TCs were produced, from September 1945 to November 1949 (chassis number TC10251), more than any previous MG model.
