Along with the Le Mans, Nürburgring and Targa Florio races, the 12 Hour Florida International Grand Prix of Endurance at Sebring had become one of the world’s major tests of automotive excellence by the early 1960s. Success at Sebring could give a new sports car instant credibili - ty. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the newly introduced MGB was raced there by the factory in 1963, while a U.S. dealer fielded a team the follow - ing year. What is surprising is that two of the three MGBs that achieved success in 1964 still survive, and have just been restored to the exact specifications in which they raced that year.

The New England MG ʻTʼ Register, which in photo courtesy New England MG ʻTʼ Register spite of its name is an international organiza - March 2010 tion dedicated to the maintenance, preservation and enjoyment of T-Series and vintage MGs, is raffling off this 1949 TC to raise money for its annual scholarship.
