1947 TC 2735 / XPAG Gold Seal (TD), no number
1949 MGTC 6802 / XPAG 7538 original (TD engine currently installed), Green / Green
TC6802’s engine is highly tuned and fitted with a Shorrock supercharger. Purchased from TCMG members Malcolm and Joyce Buckeridge in April 2017. The previous owner (before Buckeridges) had the car for 62 years (bought used in 1952).
TC6885 is titled as a 1949 (produced in Oct. ’48). Its original engine, XPAG 7749, is still in the car. It was formerly owned by ex-TCMG member Jay Reichwein. Jay owned the car from the early ’50s until about 5 years ago. I bought it about 2 1/2 years ago from a guy in San Clemente. As I was going through the documents that came with the car, I discovered that up to about 5 years ago the car was only about a mile away from me and I had no idea it was there. If the documentation is to be believed, the car has only about 25,000 miles since new. However, it is cosmetically quite tired but very solid and straight. It has not run for many years so will be something of a project to get it on the road again.
