Carroll Shelby’s MG Will Go On The Block At Barrett-Jackson
By Jen Dunnaway

At the Las Vegas Barret-Jackson auction in mid-October, up for sale will be none other than Carroll Shelby’s personal 1949 MG TC, the ride he credits with getting him into automotive performance in the first place. The sturdy race car still runs its original 1250-cc four-banger, and it was after winning an Oklahoma road race in this car in 1952 that Shelby made the decision to dedicate his life to motorsports. I guess he figured he had no choice but to improve on the "race-tuned" roadster’s 100 horses! Follow the jump to see more.

i wonder why he would sell such a valuable car, not just pennywise, but history wise to himself? should be interesting to see how much it goes for.

Ol’ Shelby must not be too sentimental, auctioning off a ride with such a personal history attatched to it.
