What’s special about this listing

1948 MG-TC – Honest, Complete "In-Between" Driver – Great Project
Description: This iconic 1948 MG TC boasts a fascinating history, having been restored by the Verbiesen Car Museum in Los Angeles and later won in a lottery in 1977, a very complete and solid 1948 MG-TC. This car is the ideal "rolling restoration" or mechanical recommissioning project. It was parked in dry storage 1 year ago and is now ready for its next caretaker.
The Good:
* Engine turns over freely with good compression and ran well when last operated
* Highly complete car with a solid chassis and healthy body tub structure.
* Includes all original weather gear: convertible top frame and tonneau cover.
* Older paint and interior with a wonderful, honest patina.
* Wiper motor disassembled.
* Ignition key bypassed, needs new
The Needs:
* Has been sitting for a year, so it will need the standard mechanical recommissioning before driving (fuel system flush, carburetor cleaning, and a brake system overhaul/bleed).
Excellent opportunity to acquire a complete, unmolested T-Series MG that you can bring back to life over a few weekends. Clear title in hand. Located in [Your City/State].
