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.
