This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I and your car are the same age, I don't like running down freeways either! I dreamed of having a TC before I was old enough to drive. When I was 18, the TC was too expensive for me, I found a TD but at 6'4" I didn't fit. Next came the MGA when I was 19, a 1958 roadster with wire wheels and shop manual, drove it home for $300., I barely fit but I still have it. Fair weather cars, but I drove mine year round in N.H. and cross country. Mine was happy at 80 mph and got 30 mpg doing it. My car and I were both young then. Thanks for the fun time, I am envious of your collection and will watch more now that I subscribed.

I passed on an original mint condition TC owned by a woman in our mountain community because I had too many cars at that time and had no garage space to shelter it from the harsh winter conditions. Glad I did that. Any RHD classic was fraught with danger on these mountain roads. My first quasi restoration about four decades ago was a ‘55 MG Magnette; cute as could be but once I got it driving I disliked it intensely. Imagine my horror when my teenage son showed up at my home with a tired ‘80s MG roadster he bought before consulting me. Worst British nightmare was performing a complete brake job on a friend’s ‘85 Aston Martin early V8. Would like view more episodes of specimens in your collection. Thanks very much.

Loved the episode and the presentation and production. This is the first I'd seen, have subscribed and look forward to future shows. Have loved British cars since my parents owned a TD in the 50's and have owned more than a few British cars. My fun car is a 1963 Lotus Super 7 which I've owned three separate times now. I'm a car guy to the core and also a TV guy. Don't know what your backgrounds are but your on-camera presence is terrific and the production is first rate. You've pointed out some editing inconsistencies but I think they're minor and add to the charm of the show. I spent more than 50 years in broadcasting (started really young) and even spent a couple years at KGW in Portland. Keep up the great work.

Hmmm, I'm an American and I do love affordable sports cars. Checks out! 😊 I wonder why the British call bonnets that while in the US we call them hoods...Similar headwear I guess. Trunk and boot don't even have that commonality 😂 Did they ever make an oversize gas tank for this car? Seeing that it's strapped on it appears like it could be easily swapped out for something larger for endurance or overland racing.

To make the differences more confusing, the Brits call Soft Tops Hoods. I tend to use British terms for British cars and American terms for other nationalities. I haven't seen an oversized gas tank, but given the size of engine, the tank is actually pretty large. It wouldn't be too difficult to build one if needed, however!

Another fun and for this one, fear-provoking episode. OMG NO seatbelts! Being of the generation where seatbelts were first used and mandated, my parents effectively instilled the thoughts of “prevent certain death” by using the seat belt every time. My father also survived going through and then back through a non-safety glass windshield, that having a seatbelt in place would have prevented. I would love to ride in this were it a special seat in a Merry-go- round.
@ahaugland1
@ahaugland1 6 ай бұрын
We usually try to put seat belts in our cars if it is feasible, The downside of the MG TC is the floorboards are made out of relatively thin plywood, so there really isn't a good way to put in a lap belt and no way whatsoever to put in a 3 point seat belt. Fortunately a lot of the European cars had laminated safety glass pretty early, when compared to American markets. Early laminated safety glass specifically for windscreens was created in the UK in 1905 and just about every British car had glass made by the Triplex company which began making laminated glass in 1912. It didn't become required in the United States until the mid-1930s.

That's quite the trek in a car like the TC! I think we'd prefer to be driving it in the 60s instead of sharing the road with modern cars that are very much NOT interested in going 45mph. You can even see the massive logging truck in one of the driving shots just sitting off our tail... you can tell when you're being passed by a truck full of giant trees that your car might be a bit slow!

The TC fits in a special place, however, because of the role it played in bringing the idea of European style sports cars to the United States. Morgan certainly followed that lead and was selling cars in the United States by the early 1950s.

@@Everyday2Exotic Yep, huge pretty shiney chrome 21 inch front spoked wheel like a chopper, but not a chopper. Super pretty but for me, 750cc is about the biggest I ever want to ride. Polishing chrome and keeping a pretty vehicle clean though is an extra PITA, no matter what collectible thing you have. Oddly, the smaller the motorcycle you have, the more fun it is to drive. A 250cc bike is lightweight, flicable and highly manueverable and controllable like a Sopwith Camel, where as the bigger bike you get, the more it's like you're sitting at top a freight train or driving a car. Like an MG Midget for example versus a Cadilac Impala, for example. The small Midget, even though it has way less horse power, is a whole lot more fun, and it's the same for motorcycles. People go as high as 1300cc, and then, you might as well be driving a car...

That said, Our MG TC isn't necessarily much safer! There have been a few bikes that have tempted me, mostly in the line of old British classic bikes, but it doesn't make much sense to me to own them if I can't ride them. The rules go both ways, however, as it also means Amy can't have a Vespa, which she would love.

It IS a fun car to drive but you definitely need to know what to expect. I have several other early cars that are a far worse choice on the road along with some that are better. It is possible to get a TC reliable and usable, both by improving your driving skills and sorting the issues with the car at least a bit at a time. There are several MG TC owners who do truely drive their cars for significant distances on all sorts of roads, including the occasional highway, but it definitely does take dedication to do it and if you are only after the general style but want more driveability, the MG TD or TF are probably better choices.

This is the only car I have ever hand cranked. Great job BTW. The TC is a box of nails to drive. Total rubbish...extremely fun rubbish. The TD is a decent driver, but I barely fit...so awkward for me to truly judge. The MGB was really the 1st car that had room for my legs and head. The A had some leg room but the top was punitive. I only have seen one pre war 1930s MG TB (or TA) "Midget" that this is based on. I didn't work on that car or drive it...but it is very similar. One of the best driving and service reviews of the car I have ever seen.

Thank you very much! Amy has the opposite problem with the MGB in that her legs aren't long enough to easily push the clutch to the floor, even with the seat all the way forward. The MG TD was indeed a significant leap forward in suspension and handling and is a much easier car to drive. Going the other way, I have a few prewar MGs as well (a PA and NB) which are also a bit more of work to drive than the TC, in that the gearboxes are non-synchro. They also have mechanical, cable operated brakes, but that is not really a detriment, especially on that light of a car.

Why are they called "suicide doors"?
@Everyday2Exotic
@Everyday2Exotic 6 ай бұрын
Because the doors are rear-hinged, if the car was moving and the door was opened, the driver or passenger would have to lean forward and OUT of the vehicle to close it. As seat belts were not in common use during the peak of this style of door, the risk of falling out of the car and into traffic was pretty high, hence the name "suicide door". If your door did open while driving, it was best to first pull over and close it. Although suicide doors are cool, it's probably a good thing that they phased them out!
@ahaugland1
@ahaugland1 6 ай бұрын
The storyline, by my understanding is that, because the doors are hinged at the rear, if the car is moving and the door comes open, the airflow catches it and pulls it open quickly. If the passenger attempts to grab the door, they're liable to be pulled out of the car (pre seat-belt) and into oncoming traffic. At the same time, if you don't stop the door swinging open, it is liable to swing back and either damage the door or the body of the car. I've nearly had that happen with this car shortly after I acquired it where I was driving in town and the driver side door latch pulled free from the underlying wood, allowing the door to swing open as I was going around a corner. I caught the door and ended up holding it closed with my elbow for the rest of the drive home. Fortunately I wasn't going over 10 miles an our when it decided to let go. We have since rebuilt the door with new wood and it shouldn't happen again. This is definitely a problem with wood framed cars where things are screwed or nailed to it and the screw holes for the door latch had been stripped out enough that there wasn't much keeping it in place.

I'm perfectly willing to hear if there's something you feel we got completely wrong. I am definitely a fan of the MG TC and enjoy driving it, in many ways more than the MG TF or the various other prewar and postwar MGs in the collection. A big part of that enjoyment is that it takes more actual work to drive it. At the same time, the scoring is comparing it to other cars built both earlier and later the driveability score in particular, is how usable is the car as a daily driver in a modern context, where you run errands and travel on highways, etc. You can make anything work if you needed to and we have a friend who took his MG TD to go buy lumber, with the photos to prove it, but the argument here is that the TC is a fun car to drive occasionally, in circumstances where it is enjoyable and safe. At the same time, if you need trunk space and proper weather protection, maybe you should ALSO own a Cadillac!

So sorry that this video was too speedy for your taste, we've worked to adjust our style a bit. If you have the time, check out our latest Volvo video that just released, I specifically slowed down our edits to try and make them more easy on the eyes. Would love to hear your feedback!
