Original Toronto Star caption: The 1948 MG TC owned and raced by North York salesman Tom Berent is one of about a dozen cars he owns - and the one he likes to talk about. This was the first sports car that really caught on in North America; he says of the MG TC; so called for Morris Garages; the manufacturer; and model TC. This year he's competed in five races in the U.S. and Canada.
