The TC Midget was the first postwar MG, and was launched in 1945. The TC is quite accurately well known as the (specific) car that caused the Sport Car "craze" in America. It was quite similar to the pre-war TB, sharing the same 1,250 cc (76 cu in) pushrod-OHV engine with a slightly higher compression ratio of 7.4:1 giving 54.5 bhp (40.6 kW) at 5200 rpm. The makers also provided information for several alternative stages of tuning for "specific purposes". The XPAG engine is well known for its tunability. The TC engine was a slightly improved version of the XPAG first introduced to MG in the TB. Notable improvement was through the addition of a hydraulically (oil pressure) adjusted timing chain tensioner. All TCs utilized a (single battery) 12 volt electrical system. All TCs came with 19" Dunlop wire wheels. Automatic mechanical timing advance was built into the ignition distributor.
It was exported to the United States, even though the car was only ever built in right-hand drive. The export version had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights (7-inch buckets) and twin tail lights, as well as turn signals and chromed front and rear bumpers with over riders.

Thank you been great to watch this great series again, shame it ended.
Great story on the TC MG the car that offered so much to the early Hot Rodding in USA & also started Carol Shelby's racing Legend.
I used to own a 1955 MG TF British racing green with tan leather interior. I know it was only a replica with VW bettle underpinnings, but for me at age 18 it was a proper sports car and a great looker. I loved the shape of it. I used to enjoy driving it on the road on weekends specially when it was sunny. Loved that feeling every time. I still miss him since I had to sell it 5 years later.
Great show, would love to see it back again....
Brilliant old boy. Brilliant.
Wow these cars look amazing, i have an old mg tc but it is missing many many parts such as carbs intake, gauges, doors stuff like that
M.G. T.C . !!! Bucket list car and I am Canadian !!!

Ben Collins was the Sting and is now the Bond stunt driver. Wow

Ben Collins - He was the original Top Gear STIG
why do they not show the auction....
I'd love to know what it went for too!
@@MattBee1 they did the auction for all the cars on the last episode of the season
Lucky to find such a gem, hey?
Great episode but horrified that on its maiden voyage they took it out in the rain? Even my all metal TR6 would never venture out in such weather.
What's the point in having such a beautiful machine and being scared to drive it?
@@MrMichaelConstantinePlus it was probably coated so it does not rust again.
Wooden framework are still done at Morgan
Its the Stig
Amazing job!, I dislike the colour... Greetings from Buenos Aires.👍
Ant ! You disappoint me ! I always regards you as a very knowledgeable guy ,but come on!!! Is cyanide poisonous?? Off course!!
This "baby" blue is a no - no for me.
It isn't baby blue its name is Iris blue
@@69roary At auction, the auctioneer will call it baby blue. That's why I put baby between "".
@@69roary it is Clipper Blue actually 😉
They didn’t show the auction because in that disgusting colour they would have been lucky to get their money back. And you can over restore a 70 year old car
