"This was, and still is, the poor man's sports car," says Bob

McClaren, president of the Tidewater MG Classics, with his 1947

MGTC. "it's an honest little car. It's a car with character that's

fun to drive."

Frank Linse, vice president of the club, has four MGs, including

this 1971 MGB-GT

Linse's 1958 MGA coupe has had a complete restoration. He believes

in driving all his MGs rather than showing them.
