Models of Yesteryear Y-8/4; 1945 MG TC

Models of Yesteryear

Box notes: "A logical follow up to the pre-war TA & TB models, the TC had a 4 cylinder 1250 cc engine with a four speed gearbox. Bought by many US servicemen and shipped back to the United States, this little vehicle was responsible for the sports car boom in post-war America. SCALE 1:35 "

Very smart model of the immediate post-war MG. As I type this article I can report that I was looking at a 1:1 MG TC - and a TD too, both for sale in a used car showroom here in Abingdon where the cars were made. They truly are tiny, huge steering wheel too with about 4" between the wheel & the seat.

Matchbox made this car between 1978 and 1984 in green, cream over black mudguards, red or blue. The hood is shades of beige & tan and the interior can vary across a range of colours. No versions are classed as rare and all of them are valued at the same modest rate.
