The MG T-Type was introduced in 1936. The TA would create the design that would set the style for MG's sports cars for the next two decades. They had an upright chrome grille, deep-cut doors and a slab-shaped petrol tank at the rear. These lightweight two-seater cars with their modified suspensions were very nimble, and a 'works' racing program helped spread the fame. In 1939, the TB was introduced featuring a more powerful, shorter-stroke 1,250cc XPAG engine. At the London Motor Show in 1945, the TC was introduced. The TC was wider, heavier and more refined than the TB.
This example has been given a concours-quality restoration which was completed in 1999 with no expense spared. There is a tan cloth top, tan leather upholstery, Birdseye maple woodwork, and an original three-spoke steering wheel.
In 2009, it was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $25,000-$35,000 and offered without reserve. The lot was sold for the sum of $30,800 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2009
