The MG TC is the original sports car, as far as North America is concerned. Mechanically and visually very similar to the pre-war TA and TB, the TC used the 1250cc XPAG pushrod four cylinder, producing 54.5 horsepower. The TC was incredibly popular among US servicemen stationed in England, who saw a great contrast between these small cars and the massive cars sold in the US. The TC was only ever manufactured in right-hand drive.
