Scale: 1:35

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. Many were bought by US servicemen and shipped back to the United States, this little vehicle was responsible for the sports car boom in post-war America.

It's a very smart model of the immediately 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 I live and where the cars were made. They truly are tiny, having a huge steering wheel too with about 4" between the wheel & the seat. No good for me then.

Matchbox made this car between 1978 and 1984 in green, cream over brown 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 extremely modest rate.
