Price on request --- Very beautiful and fully restored MG TC from 1949. Finished in yellow with red interior, this example definitely stands out from other ones.
Exterior:
Fully restored and in excellent condition. Finished in yellow, it stands out from the more common original colors. The restoration has returned it to a clean, correct state, with all the key features intact—wire wheels, rear-mounted spare, and a folding windshield. It's a solid example of a well-maintained classic roadster.
Interior:
This 1949 MG TC features a clean, classic cockpit finished in rich red leather, including the seats, door panels, and dashboard surround. The leather upholstery is in excellent condition, with period-correct pleating and a neat, tight fit. The dashboard is painted in matching red and fitted with original-style Smiths gauges, toggle switches, and a centrally placed ignition and starter switch panel.
The steering wheel is a light cream color, complementing the exterior and maintaining a vintage look. The black carpeting contrasts nicely with the red, giving the cabin a tidy and well-finished feel.
Overall, the interior is simple and true to the MG TC's character—minimalist, driver-focused, and tastefully restored to a high standard.
Mechanics:
This car retains its original 1.25-liter inline-four engine, a hallmark of the MG TC. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and well-detailed, showing signs of a careful and thorough restoration. The engine block is finished in bright red, a correct and period-appropriate color, with a nicely refinished silver valve cover and clean gasket lines.
Wiring, hoses, and hardware all are tidy and properly routed. Original components like the SU fuel pump, generator, and oil filter housing are present and restored, keeping the mechanical setup true to factory spec. The data plate on the firewall is also intact, adding to the authenticity.
Mechanically, this car appears not just complete, but restored to a high standard — running just as well as it looks.
