1948' MG TC

Available for inspection in Hampshire, England early February.

Chassis Number – TC5951
Engine Number – XPAG6574

Purchased new in 1949 from Lane’s Motors of Melbourne, Australia (Dealer plates still installed in the passenger foot well), AHZ524 had two keepers before passing to its previous owner in 1962. With the car is a hand written mileage maintenance record dating from November 1953 to June 1963 covering 103,340 miles. The TC was taken off the road in 1965 when the mileage read 112,499. Also present is an Australian equivalent of Road Fund Licence dated to 3rd of April 1963 and a wind screen sticker from 1964 is still visible. This cars originality is therefore unquestionable.

Presented in its original build colour scheme of black with green interior and grill, which is not believed to have ever been anything different, the car is a picture. Two folders of documents, related letters, invoices, period magazine articles, some photographs of before and during the restoration, original instruction manuals and a near complete toolkit come with the vehicle.

If, like me, you find many restorations go way beyond the original quality of manufacturer and like patina in appropriate areas, this car is for you. Having said that, the body work is concourse and engine and running gear mechanically perfect. Only dry weather use since recommissioning which is evident when looking at the pictures.

Car can be viewed in Hampshire and test driven in 100% dry conditions only.
