Description

This MG TC EXU is, in every meaningful sense, a new car. It has undergone a meticulous frame-up restoration by From The Frame Up, with every component removed, refurbished, rebuilt, or replaced to exacting standards. The result is a fully sorted MG TC that combines factory authenticity with enhanced performance and reliability.

All coachwork is new, and every sheet metal panel was stripped to bare metal, repaired as necessary, and finished to a show-quality standard prior to painting. The exterior is finished in Clipper Blue, an original factory color offered only during the final years of MG TC production.

Powertrain & Mechanical

The XPAG 1250 engine has been comprehensively rebuilt and tuned for both performance and drivability, making this TC exceptionally strong on the road while remaining mechanically sympathetic:

• Rebuilt XPAG 1250 engine

• Crane fast-road camshaft

• Oversized pistons

• Tuned for relaxed cruising and reliable touring

The drivetrain, differential, suspension, shocks, wheels, and tires have all been fully rebuilt or replaced. All electrical systems are new or professionally refurbished, ensuring modern reliability without compromising originality.

Rare EXU Specification

This example is one of just 494 MG TC EXU models produced, featuring factory safety upgrades required for U.S. importation in 1949. These enhancements include:

• Front and rear bumpers

• Turn signals

• Dash-mounted rearview mirror

• Improved dual horns

• Dual headlamps with both high and low beam functionality

These features make the EXU variant particularly desirable for collectors seeking originality with improved usability.

Interior & Presentation

The interior is finished in Biscuit, complementing the Clipper Blue exterior beautifully. Every detail reflects the care and precision of the restoration, offering the appearance, feel, and confidence of a freshly delivered MG TC.

Overall Impression

This MG TC EXU represents an exceptional opportunity to own a maintenance-free, fully restored example of one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built. It delivers the charm and character of a classic MG with the confidence of a modern restoration, equally suited for show, touring, or spirited driving.
