Equipment
Painted centerlock wire wheels, rear-mounted spare, single driving light, badge bar.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Recent mechanical sorting. Old but presentable paint with some cracking on the fenders. Light surface rust poking through on the wheel spokes. Tidy underneath. Good older restored interior. Light discoloration on the top. Never fully restored but maintained and still presentable. A driver quality TC, which isn't at all a bad thing when talking about old MGs.
Market commentary
Despite four TCs being in the sale, all of them sold well. But while this largely original car had a strong result at over 30 grand, the bidders saved all their exuberance for the visually almost identical but completely unrestored Lot 126, which sold for an inexplicable $112,000. That might be the best totally original TC in the world, but it just makes this car seem like a much better value.
