This 1948 MG TC is finished in off-white over red and powered by a supercharged 1,250cc inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The current owner purchased the car 29 years ago in a state of disassembly, and proceeded with a frame-up refurbishment including new paint, driveline rebuilds, and more.

This TC is offered by the seller on behalf of its owner in Montreal with a spare transmission, refurbishment receipts and photos, supercharger blueprints, a fabric soft top, and clean Quebec registration in the owner's name.

Hydraulically-operated drum brakes are featured at all four corners and said to have been overhauled during the refurbishment.Photos of the tan soft top in its raised position are provided in the gallery.

A 4-spoke banjo steering wheel has been installed in place of the original, and the seats are covered in red leather. The wood dash panel houses Jaeger instruments that were reportedly sent to the UK for service and calibration. Approximately 2k miles are shown on the odometer.

The engine and transmission were reportedly rebuilt during the older refurbishment, and the latter is paired with an overdrive unit.
