Description
And here is it¦this is THE MG That Caught The Duke's Eye!
In his bachelor days, the Duke Of Edinburgh drove an MG TC Sports Car. He often took the then future Queen for rides in it, while they were courting.
The car obviously had a place in the Duke's heart, because when he visited Ashburton with the Queen in 1981, he stopped to talk to a woman in an MG TC near Ashburton airport.
What a thrill that unexpected meeting was for that woman, who had bought this MG brand new more than 30 years previously in 1947. She held onto the car until 1986 when she sold it to the second owner with 61762 miles.
By that time, the car was showing its age and the second owner set to work rebuilding it, painstakingly stripping it down to the chassis and restoring it to concours quality over a three year period.
Today this MG is a magnificent example of a two-seater British Sports Car finished in Brooklands Green. Back in 1992, the car won best paintwork, got overall highest score and won Master's Class at the Canterbury Intermarque Concours D'Elegance.
Car was sold to the third owner in 1993 with 67608 miles on the clock.
What a magnificent piece of history, with its square, upright radiator, long bonnet, open front mudguards and tiny cockpit , the MG still epitomises the post war sports car era.
With only three owners from new, this MG, Chassis #: TC3890 is of Concours Quality and guaranteed to be One Of The Nicest TC's In The Country.
It Drives and Works beautifully and would be a talking point in any collection.
Original Certificate Of Registration available along with various history, write ups and old photos.
Comes with Original Key, service records etc.
The TC Midget was the first postwar MG launched in 1945.
10,001 TCs were produced, from September 1945 (chassis number TC0251) to Nov. 1949 (chassis number TC10251), more than any previous MG model.
Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
