Seller's comments about 1946' MG TC
Purchased by a Jersey resident in 2012 through an auction in Paris. The following auction catalogue description explains the MG's previous history:
"This matching-numbers MG TC was sold new by Cleveland Garages in Jersey where it was purchased subsequently by a French motor dealer. Remembered as an exceptionally original and low mileage car, it then passed through the hands of two collectors before being purchased by international motoring consultant Christian Philippsen. It seems that the MG had covered relatively few miles over the years but the previous owner used the car more extensively, taking it over several Alpine passes including the Gabber and la Bonnette without encountering any problems, the engine remaining cool and retaining healthy oil pressure. The Musée International de l'Automobile in Geneva fitted the tachometer reduction gearbox and the shield beneath the dashboard, both of which had been missing, while other noteworthy features include a polished aluminium rocker cover and recently replaced hood, side screens and carpets. The present owner has driven the car no more than 500 miles during the last eleven years and always has kept it in a dry and heated garage. Its overall condition is described as very good, with delightful patina. For several years the owner belonged to the MG Car Club and was the Club's contact in Greece. This car is number '8850' on the MG Car Club's T Register. It is offered with FIVA A2 certificate (un-restored).”
Aside from the works mentioned whilst in Europe and routine maintenance on the car, whilst in Jersey a friend mechanic has fitted a new uprated steering box. Also we have just overhauled the brake system (Nov 20) and undertaken a service. It is now driving well and ready for its new owner.
Finished in Black with mellowed paintwork. The wood frame looks in excellent condition from underneath where visible and there are no signs of corrosion or repairs. Likely to be the original bodywork.
Original leather seats in a wonderful supple and patinated condition. Full weather gear comes with the car.
Hood and side screens were replaced by a previous owner not so long ago. The dash and instrumentation are in good
order.
An early post war MG TC with low mileage and still with many original features including the delightful nicely patinated original leather seats. Located in Jersey the car is ready to go. We can help with the shipping and import procedure if required and please get in touch if you required additional information or pictures.
Thank you for the interest.
