This is a special MG TC Roadster as it is the first car that Carroll Shelby drove in a race. In May of 1952, Shelby's friend, Ed Wilkins, allowed Mr. Shelby to drive this MG TC in a road race at Norman, OK. He won the race and the second race too.
For 20 years prior to being purchased by the Ron Pratte collection, the car was part of the Syd Silverman Collection.
In 2005 the MG was awarded the Collier Cup at the all-MG vintage race in Watkins Glen, NY. The car is powered by its original 1250cc 4-cylinder engine that has been built up to 100+ horsepower.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2015
