1949' MG TC

Original Clipper Blue with beige interior and a eye catching registration plate.
First registered on the 24th of November 1949, this MGTC, chassis No. 10213 was one of the last 50 TC’s produced.
In its original rarer Clipper Blue colour. From 2009 it was and restored with new wiring loom, renewed braking system, re-chrome of all major parts that needed it, a new S J Gilbert steel covered Ash body tub and Bill Collingburn leather seats as well as many other parts.
Mechanically, it has been well maintained. There are a few minor marks. The engine has been replaced with another XPAG unit. 1165 miles on the clock but do not know actual mileage of the vehicle from new. The engine runs well, starts easily and shows good oil pressure with no overheating, and the gearbox and back axle are nice and quiet. A minor fault with the gearbox is the known issue with it jumping out of third gear with no load. (Asking price reflects). Suspension in good order. The under-bonnet area is clean and tidy. The interior of the car, including leather seats, door cards, and carpets and the canvas weather gear i. e., hood and side screens, are in good condition – there is also a Full tonneau cover. The wheels are good as are the (correct type) tyres. LED Bulbs throughout as well as LED dual forward side/ indicator bubs. Rear 1130 tank side panel mounted indicators and central high line brake light mounted behind the spare wheel.
Believed to be originally sold by the London MG dealer University Motors Ltd the car has the distinctive number plate VMG 54 and Buff logbooks covering years 1954 through the 60’s show owners in the London area.
Brooklands screens and steering wheel add to the style as well as the two Windtone horns mounted to the front between the wings and radiator, an option that could be included from new by University Motors.
We’ve had some good times with it including the revival but increasingly and sadly being used less and less. It has had almost no use for the last few years hence the decision to sell.
