1948 MG TC Roadster Roadster

This outstanding example was imported to the United States in 1951 and remained with the same American family for 70 years before being acquired by its current Massachusetts owner in 2021. Throughout its life, the car has been enthusiast-owned, properly maintained, carefully garaged, and thoughtfully preserved rather than over-restored—qualities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Since taking ownership, the current caretaker has invested more than $13,000 in mechanical and cosmetic improvements while respecting the car's originality. Tasteful safety upgrades include discreetly installed brake lights, windshield wipers on the fold-down windshield, and seat belts to satisfy Massachusetts inspection requirements without compromising the MG's authentic appearance. Finished in striking red, the all-steel body remains exceptionally straight with excellent panel fit and finish. The paint presents beautifully and is complemented by outstanding chrome trim, Lucas headlights, Lucas fog lamp, Lucas horn, chrome luggage rack, rear-mounted spare tire, and correct 19-inch knock-off wire wheels. Also included is a desirable second set of four 16-inch racing wire wheels mounted with tires. The interior has been beautifully restored with newly upholstered tan leather seating and matching rear storage compartment. A new black convertible top, matching boot, side curtains, and tonneau cover complete the package. The dashboard features original Jaeger instrumentation, including tachometer, ammeter, water temperature and oil pressure gauges, along with a passenger grab handle. A handsome new 15-inch wood three-spoke steering wheel is currently fitted, while the original 17-inch steering wheel accompanies the sale. Power comes from the original numbers-matching 1,250cc XPAG inline four-cylinder engine equipped with dual SU carburetors , new radiator and paired with its original four-speed manual transmission.
