There were 81 MG TCs built in 1945

23 were exported (none to the USA)
58 were registered in the UK.

CJ, not what it says on the card unfortunately - although that is the correct number of exported vehicles...?

That isn't the only source for the number of MG TCs produced in 1945...

I maintain that there were 81 TCs produced in 1945 (verified by 4 sources) which means my figures would be correct.

Me neither...

I vote we call this one a let as it's disputed.

I won't take the point, but will set a question..

So.....

An easy one..

The MG TF was launched in 2002. To get the point I need the answers to:

a) What was the date it was launched?
b) Where was it launched?
c) Who unveiled it?
