By 1949, the MG TC had become outdated. When it was originally released, it was a slight improvement of the TB version that was designed prior to World War II. MG (which stands for Morris Garages) Car Company answered the call for a more modern car by introducing the TD in 1950.

The Lane Motor Museum was established in 2002, by Jeff Lane, in Nashville, Tennessee. It features the largest collection of European vehicles in the United States. Though they have over 330 vehicles they only have on average 150 cars and motorcycles, not typically seen in the U.S., on display.

The Museum is housed in a former 132,000 square foot bakery. The majority of the vehicles were built in the 1950s through 1970s but they do have some from the 20's and as current as 2000.
