"Fewer than 10,000 MG TCs were built, but they had influence far out of proportion to their numbers. Powered by a 1250cc pushrod engine mated to a four-speed transmission and with live axles and leaf springs front and rear, performance was modest. Yet, this beautiful traditional roadster introduced many thousands to the joys of sports car motoring and, as has been said many times: 'The sports car America loved first.'
