MG TC Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1945–1950) — First Generation
The first-generation MG TC is a two-seat Roadster aimed at drivers who want an open sports car. You get a light, rear-driven layout and a cabin that puts you close to the road.
The MG TC engine in this generation is a compact gasoline unit with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 1.3 MT Roadster is one example: you shift yourself and send power to the rear axle. That simple powertrain and drivetrain layout gives the car its classic sports-car feel.
