History of the MGCCT

In 1930 a club was started by a group of MG enthusiasts which soon came to be sanctioned by the then new MG Car Company Ltd. The name of this club was simply and appropriately the M.G. Car Club Limited. The underlying mandate was to bring together owners and enthusiasts to share activities and camaraderie with other enthusiasts of these wonderful MG cars.

Fast forward 25 years - Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Two individuals, Mike Hunt and Bill Moffat (both current and active members of our club), being MG owners and enthusiasts, saw the need for a car club to co-ordinate many of the motorsport events of the day. An application for Centre status was submitted to the M.G. Car Club in England and on June 13, 1955 permission was received and thus was born, The M.G. Car Club of Toronto Ltd.

Over the past 50 years our club has evolved from being primarily involved in motorsports to a combination of rallying, touring and technical activities, reflecting the changing lifestyles and interests of our members.

Currently our membership stands at around 200 people, representing about 300 MG cars. While most of our members drive MGB's, many own and drive much older cars and some are lucky enough to have a pre-war MG in their garage. The M.G. Car Club of Toronto is a multi model MG club. The Club has twice been awarded the prestigious Nuffield Cup, first in 1992 and again in 2005.

In 1991 a brand new register was formed called the North American MGB Register. In 1992 we hosted their first convention in Peterborough Ontario. Over 450 MG's attended from all over Canada and the USA. The tremendous success of this event was due to the dedication and commitment of our members. A select committee of 12 members spearheaded the coordination and that number swelled to 50 members when the convention started. The success of that show created many new and innovative features that are still in use at current conventions.

The MG Car Club of Toronto was selected by The North American MGB Register to host MG2010 which took place in Belleville, Ontario.
