Mike Card's question about rear window dimensions is a good one.

Also of interest would be opinions about when the change took
place as well as when or if black changed to tan.

I've used a black Moss UK double rear window on TC2459 and I am
trying to decide what to use on TC4427 - probably tan with double
window. Mike Sherrell is not clear on any of this - he is very honest
about the uncertainty!

Mike, I can measure the Moss one tonight or over the weekend for
you if this will help. We have a concours on Sunday that requires
raised soft tops.

Replying to Viv James following his response to Mike Card's query about TC
rear windows I have some information gleaned from Clausager's "Original MG T
Series".

He states in his list of Production changes for the TC that from about TC5178
(April 1948) the tonneau changed from black to fawn. I assume therefore that
the hood also became fawn at this time (although Clausager doesn't mention it
in the production changes table he does say in the main text that the hood
became fawn in 1948). He also mentions the window in the hood changed from
twin window to a single window also in 1948. He does not make clear whether
all these changes took place in April or were spread.
