    Found this pic on the net, but no info to go with it.  Just loved this car, so classy.

    Something about the gas tank doesn’t look like a TC to me.  ???

    Beautiful. But it also doesn’t look like a TC windshield. Could this be a Morgan rear end? ..or a customized TC maybe?
    Something’s not right  (for a TC).

    I’m watching my team (UNC) try to beat Duke so I’m just guessing.

    That is beautiful.

    But if it’s a TC, it has been heavily customized. You already noted the rear end. And I agree with Roy, that it’s not a stock TC windshield frame

    I tracked down the website that this photo came from.  Very interesting site.  The car is shown on this site as a MG NB Magnette. The N-type Magnette was produced from 1934 to 1936 and was developed from the L-type and K-type but with a new chassis.  Here’s the link, lots of historic photos.

    The N-type Magnette was produced from 1934 to 1936 and was developed from the L-
    type and K-type but with a new chassis. The N-type used a 1271 cc 6 cylinder that
    originated in the 1930 Wolseley Hornet and then was used in the K-type. The Magnette
    NA was revised as the NB in 1935, gaining front-hinged doors and a radiator slats

    Thanks Bill. That clears it up. I’ve never heard of a NB.

    Rumor has it that it was a lighter weight racing/sport model. They used pine instead of oak for the framing and floorboards….

    I kid, I kid… 😛
