1948 TC 4952 / XPAG 5630, Black / Red

3rd Owners of TC4952. This car belonged to my dad, Dr. B.G.Stewart. He gave it to me when I was 4. It has been in my name since 1972. My dad bought it from the widow of the original owner. As far as I know, it has been in Bakersfield for 60 years. I still have the Motoring Guild badge from ~1960. I took it off because I didn’t want to lose it. Went to the VARA race on 5/5/12 and saw a TC with a new badge!

Still running without a top since 1964! Original color was black. My dad painted it yellow, then black. He and his buddy replaced the dash with walnut. The steering wheel is from a 1964 Aston Martin. Original wheels were chromed in the mid 1960’s after the yellow paint was topped with black. It had a quarter inch of paint in 1985. I stripped it and painted it black. Again. I used to run two SU pumps, finally broke down and bought the electronic SU decoy. Tompkins steering kit, heater from the 1960’s. That’s about it. Would love to have a set of the Alfins!

My wife had a 1976 MGB when we go married. We sold it and got a 1983 Porsche 911SC. We just sold that after 24 years so the TC has won out twice.
