MG TA & TC Gold Portfolio 1936-1949

Following the Morris Motors takeover of MG in 1935 the overhead-cam Midgets were swept aside in favour of the T-series of cars with push-rod engines. The first T-type was used by the quasi-factory teams of trials drivers who recorded some good results. The 1292cc engine and longer wheelbase, together with other innovations produced a comfortable car. A slightly more robust engine was designed for it successor, the TB. Announced just before the outbreak of war so few were built. After the war further changes came with the introduction of the TC. Due to government restrictions most of these were designated for export and captured the hearts of the Americans, 10,000 being built before the more modern TD arrived in 1949. The TC lent itself to being modified for racing and the super engine was used in many specials.
