T-Series 1949 MG TC

[rogerramjet]

Hello all,
Newby here. My old man passed away and bequeathed my brothers and I a 1949 mg tc. We are trying to determine its worth. It is not necessarily for sale at this time. Details;
1949 mg tc, English version (right side driver). Originally was red, was completely rebuilt and repainted british racing green. The body is in very good shape, a couple scratches. It runs very well, we drive it a bit every summer. The seats are not original, I believe they are from a TD. The Tach needs to be rebuilt. I will find a picture if needed.
Thanks for any input!
Ross

I’m surprised some of the MG guys or gals have not jumped on this.
They will need to see pictures before any guess of value can be made.
You might want to see what they are selling for on eBay.

Anyway welcome aboard!

Ross - "English version (right side driver)"

All TCs were 'English Version' - that's the only way they came. It wasn't until late 1949, when the TD came out that any MG game with a left hand drive version. To get good information about the value of the cars, you need to go to the T-ABC group. Their web site is at: https://www.mg-tabc.org/
Cheers,

Check www.hemmings.com , too. You may see some there for sale and you can see what the asking prices are.

If you look at prices at Hemmings or other sites, be sure they include photos. You want to be sure you're comparing roughly equivilent cars, not perhaps to a $100,000 restoration with all the options or to an unrestored barn find.
