MG TB Tickford Drophead

Millrace Motor Club successfully represented this extraordinary 1939 MG TB Tickford Drophead Coupe on Bring a Trailer, achieving an impressive final sale price of $80,660—a remarkable result for one of only 57 examples built with rare Tickford three-position drophead coupe bodywork before World War II abbreviated production. Our comprehensive concierge service included professional photography showcasing the car's stunning metallic gun-metal gray and black exterior, luxurious red leather interior, and exceptional provenance including its 1987-1990 refurbishment and multiple concours awards from prestigious events like the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the 1990s.
