1949 MG TC Midget Authentically restored, exceptionally correct
For the enthusiast who values authenticity, craftsmanship and pure driving pleasure, this 1949 MG TC, chassis number 8797, is a rare opportunity. This is no average TC, but an example restored with knowledge, respect and attention to detail exactly as this car was intended.
The MG TC holds a special place in automotive history. Introduced immediately after World War II, this model played a key role in the revival of the sports car. In particular, American soldiers stationed in Europe fell in love with the TC and brought it home. This laid the foundation for the international sports car culture as we know it today. To this day, the TC is the most iconic and beloved model in the MG T series.
Restoration with vision and integrity
This MG TC has recently undergone an extensive body-off restoration performed by a highly respected and well-known MG club member, along with his son. A father-son restoration team with deep technical knowledge and a clear philosophy: no cosmetic embellishment, but an honest and correct rebuild that preserves the car's character.
The restoration is fully documented with an extensive photographic file, in which every stage of the process is insightfully recorded. The quality and care with which has been worked are clearly visible in it.
