1949 Mg Tc Yellow Convertible

This 1949 MG TC Convertible, reportedly the recipient of a body-off restoration about 30 years ago, is described by its seller as a “turnkey car, ready to drive,” with “no problems.” The TC is reported to have been restored to “concours condition,” with “every nut and bolt correct.” The car’s original XPAG engine is noted to have been rebuilt. The top and leather interior were reportedly redone by Richmond Auto Upholstery, with the materials showing no damage and light wear creasing of the leather seats. The frame and suspension components are described as having been powder coated, with the transmission and rear end also evaluated. The TC is noted to have been previously owned by the late MG collector John Leonard, is described as a multiple show winner, and is reported to have been kept in a climate-controlled environment. Based on the photos, both the engine bay and underside present as very clean, with no visible surface corrosion.
