SUMMARY

A rarely seen, remarkably original MG TC that appears to have never been restored. A very exciting project.

DESCRIPTION

  • Nicely preserved TC imported from the USA in 1990 and correctly dry stored since
  • 1,250cc XPAG push-rod OHV engine making 54.5bhp at 5,200rpm in standard form
  • Carefully selected by a knowledgeable motoring enthusiast to form part of a collection of landmark classics
  • Although running and driving, it will require some recommissioning however you will never find a better basis for a restoration project
  • Fresh to market for the first time in 32 years, we welcome any inspection of this remarkable discovery
  • On offer from a deceased estate, it's accompanied by paperwork from HMRC confirming that no taxes are due
  • Sensibly guided with a realistic reserve, this seems a great opportunity to return this 76 year old Midget to top form
