Beautiful MG TC from 1948 with pages booklet and black plates from 1968 with the province of Rome.
Since the car was nationalized it has always belonged to the same family who have jealously guarded it over these sixty years.

All regular reviews were then carried out every two years from 1995 to 2017.

In the same year the car underwent a conservative restoration with the replacement of many mechanical parts and was then no longer used.

Model history and curiosity

The T-Type is a car produced by Morris Garages from 1936 to 1955 in various models. These series were the TA, TB, TC, TD and TF Midget.

The T-Types were sports cars with a separate chassis, front engine, four-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

The TF name was later reused for a mid-engined model that was introduced in 2002, the MG TF.

The TC Midget was the first post-war MG model. It was quite similar to the TB, and shared almost the same in-line four-cylinder engine with 1,250 cm³ displacement and overhead valves. The main difference was the increase in the compression ratio to 7.4:1, which resulted in a power development of 54.5 HP at 5,200 rpm. Many examples were modified to adapt to customer needs. It was only produced with one body type, a two-door roadster.

CT has also been exported to the United States. These models had modified headlights and chrome bumpers.

The body was approximately 100 mm wider than that of the TB to provide more cabin space. The length was the same. The tachometer was installed in front of the driver, while the speedometer was positioned on the other side of the dashboard, facing the passenger.

Exactly 10,000 examples were produced from September 1945 to November 1949, the highest number of any previous MG model. The CT cost, in 1947, 527 pounds. The model accelerated from 0 to 97 km/h in 22.7 seconds, and this was a very respectable performance for the time.
