The seller offers for sale a 1946 MG TC, presented as a charming post-war British roadster. Imported from the UK, it has been technically refurbished and registered in the Netherlands. The engine and carburetors were rebuilt, brakes overhauled with turned drums, and a new fuel tank and stainless steel exhaust were fitted. The car starts reliably, produces no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. While the body shows some areas of touch-up work and minor rust spots, it remains structurally well. Inside, the bench seat is original and well-preserved, the door panels have been replaced, and the carpet is in fair condition. The folding roof is neat and functional. This MG TC offers a fine blend of originality and usability for enthusiasts seeking a usable pre-1950 classic.
The MG TC was introduced in 1945 and played a crucial role in popularizing British sports cars internationally, particularly in the United States. Its simple yet effective design, light weight, and engaging driving dynamics captured the imagination of post-war drivers seeking spirited motoring. The TC featured a narrow body, classic wire wheels, and a folding soft top, embodying the archetypal British roadster. With its 1.25-liter engine and lively handling, it delivered an enjoyable driving experience that became the foundation for MG’s global success. Today, the MG TC is admired not only for its role in shaping sports car history but also for its enduring charm, making it a highly collectible and rewarding vehicle to own and drive.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.
