1948 MG TC, click picture to enlarge.The MG, which was the second generation removed from the older Austin, was probably the car that turned many Americans on to the notion of wanting to own and drive the European sports cars. This sporty MG TC sports car, with its sweeping front fenders, cutaway doors, fold down windshield and knockoff wire wheels was a type of car not often seen on the American roads. The MG TC had a 1250 cc 4-cylinder engine that turned 54 horsepower at 5,200 rpm which is a comparatively high rate of rpm. It had a 3 speed transmission and 4 wheel Lockheed hydraulic brakes. It also came with a telescoping steering column and a six volt electrical system. The interior had leather upholstery and a wood grain dash panel.
