Not Quite – 1961 MG TC Replica

January 24, 2014

The MG T-series of cars has nearly completely escaped the grasp of the common enthusiast, for better or worse, but what we can still access are some of the replicas. These cars made #22 on the Sports & Exotic Car list, and aside from the more common Fiberfab TD replica, there was also a replica of the MG TC produced by a company known as Octagon Motors. Closer in spirit to the original than the Fiberfab attempt, this car was built on a Triumph Herald platform, and runs a 948cc four-cylinder putting out 34.5hp, versus the original TC’s 54.5hp. Fortunately, the Herald was also built with larger engines up to a 1300 with 61hp, a whopping 6.5hp over the original TC. You can find this 1961 MG TC replica for sale in San Francisco, CA for $3500.

Now hold on a second there – you’re already wondering, what the heck is this fake piece of $#!+ doing here. Well, the fortunes of companies greater than yours were built on a fake – the original Ford Taurus was merely a fake Audi 5000. So sit down, pour yourself a smooth, cold glass of King Cobra Fine Malt Liquor, and allow the wisdom to flow over you and to reflect on some new ideas with an open mind. The revolution was not born in driving the same old MGB everyone else has. So let’s take a look at our feature car, this 1983 Fiberfab MG TD replica in Orange County, CA for $3900.
