Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description: This vibrant looking MG TC is chassis number 3999 and, with the sequence starting at 0252, rendering it as the 3,747th TC to roll out of Abingdon. The associated engine number was XPAG4651, and this engine remains in situ to this day. From Abingdon, this TC was shipped directly to South Africa to start its long life in that distinctly benign climate in 1948. The added benefit of South Africa requiring right hand drive cars is moot in this case. The TC was never produced in left hand drive from the factory with even the Americans proving prepared to suffer a steering wheel on the 'wrong' side. By 1990 the TC was in the hands of the Ellerine family, notable South African furniture retail magnates with a love for, and a sizeable collection of, classic cars. In the mid 1990s the Ellerines commissioned a 'no expense spared' restoration of the MG. This was carried out by renowned specialist Roger Pearce of Rolo Motors, Johannesburg. With the TC going on to form part of the Ellerines's prized collection, only around 200 miles have reportedly been covered since that diligent restoration. By late 2024 the MG found itself in the UK and our current keeper bought this lovely example in November 2024. The MG was first registered here in January 2025 making Jeremy the first UK keeper to date. Quite the provenance! Since then the car has had indicators fitted, a welcome safety feature. The rear ones are neatly placed at the rear, and the front ones are cleverly installed in the side lights On the wings. A switch is discreetly fitted under the dashboard. This lot is available for viewing/inspection.
