Achingly obvious, Mike!
The TC is often described as "The Sports Car America Loved First". While,
mechanically, the Corvette owes nothing to the design of the TC, surely the
spirit of the Corvette was inspired by the MG's ability to be driven in a
sporting manner at that time quite unknown in American cars?
