THE STORY
New though the 1250cc MG TC Midget was in 1945, it was in essence an evolution of a sporting line whose DNA sequence was first laid down in the late 1920s. Yet despite---and perhaps because of---its quaint "vintage" character, the first MG to be officially imported stateside found droves of fans among American sporting motorists, providing fun aplenty on the road and an affordable entry point to the world of motorsport.
In this realm, the nimble, light, small-engined MGs had already earned a deserved reputation for punching above their weight, one notable example being the supercharged K3, which in 1933 took a class win in the Mille Miglia and victory in the RAC Ulster Tourist Trophy in the hands of the legendary Nuvolari at an astonishing average speed of 78.65 MPH.
