In 1945, immediately after the end of WWII, MG started production of TC
Midget in the UK. While TC Midget followed suit to the pre-war TB
mechanically, it succeeded to the traditions of MG Midget with the
ladder-shaped frame, oblong leaf springs, thin 4.50-19 tires, engine
positioned behind the front wheel shaft, low and long hood, cockpit in
front of the rear axle, flowing fender that covered 19-inch tires, etc.
The only difference was a slight increase in the body width, and the
driving posture was also in the pre-war vintage style. One of its
attractions was high maneuverability that matched the taste of the
British people who prefer open air. The historical significance of such
TC Midget is not the fact that it is a sports car born in the
devastated state of mid-war and post-war periods but the fact that the
American soldiers who occupied Europe made the first contact with a
sports car from an unknown world, experienced the joy of motor sports
and open air, became fascinated by it and brought many TC cars to the
US, which instantly heightened the fame of MG. It is no exaggeration to
say that the motor sports in the US could not have been possible without
the influence of TC. The 1948 TC Midget that is the model of this paper
craft is the model in which the dashboard is covered with the same
cloth as the interior and the steering wheel is brown, that were the
only changes in the life of TC.Data: 1,250cm3 water-cooled 4-cylinder
OHV engine, producing 54HP; top-speed 75mph
