1947 MG-TC

Please read carefully. This very nice 1947 MG-TC was listed earlier and I am running it again for the last time. You will not likely find anything beyond a basket case for this price, and if you want a perfect TC and want to pay for it, this is not the car for you. This TC is the rare thing one might call a "driver," a car that you can use and enjoy while it appreciates and continue to perfect it—not a nut and bolt show car brought out only for special occasions. My opening price is less than I have sunk into it. I will not take less, so no offers outside of this listing.

The top bows are present, with a rough top. There are no side curtains. Fittings for those curtains on the doors are needed as are the dot snaps for a tonneau cover. The low fuel warning light on the dash is missing. The expensive parts work has been done. What's left is largely cosmetic. The car was originally dark green and traces remain. The existing paint could be buffed out and touched up, but there are some rough spots on the bonnet. Some small trim pieces like the slot for the bonnet on the radiator shell are needed. The wheels were originally silver and are now black and need repainting. The tires are like NEW, and during storage they never touched the ground.

The seats and door panels are in nice shape, though I am told they are vinyl. They look and feel like leather, so I'm not certain as to the truth of this. The rear shelf compartment needs upholstery on the wheel wells and I have seen the matching green fabric available at Moss Motors.

The body is solid, as is the frame and all the wood. There is a minor hole at the base of the wheel well on the driver's side that could be easily repaired. The rear fenders are fiberglass, I am told, but they look great.

Bottom line, this is a great candidate for driving around all summer, and then restoring down the line. Thework to make it roadworthy has been done; everything left is just small detail.

One more negative—the fender mirrors were re-situated at some point, and the nickel size round holes where they originally went remain. They can easily be filled if and when the car is repainted. They have become so un-noticeable to me that I almost forgot to mention them. (see photos).

The opening price is less than I have invested in this car. If you shop around for the TCs that are available today you will find that the Buy-It-Now Price is below what’s out there and comparable, and way, way below what the price guides say.

I have attempted to give a clear and honest description of this classic vehicle. Car is sold as is, where is. No guarantees, refunds or explanations. I have owned several TC’s and if you are serious, this is an opportunity that does not often come along.

Down payment of $1000 due within 24 hours. Balance within 7 days. The car is located 20 miles south of Richmond Virginia at the intersection of I-95 and I-85, making pickup easy and convenient.
