Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a custom 1949 MG TC Boat-Tail Speedster featuring a handmade aluminum body in the style of an MG Q-type racing car. It includes a rebuilt XPAG inline-four engine with a supercharger, a Ford T9 five-speed manual transmission, and other modifications. The car is offered with a clean Texas title.
Condition
6
While the car has undergone significant modifications and a refurbishment, the description highlights both positives and negatives. The rebuilt engine, custom bodywork, and upgraded transmission are positives. However, the unknown true mileage, aftermarket steering box, and the fact that it's a modified vehicle contribute to a slightly lower rating. It appears to be in good shape, but it's not as pristine as a fully original, low-mileage example might be.
