TC Provenance List Being Updated and Modernized by TCMG
The well known TC Provenance List was created by TC owner Bob Stein well over a decade ago. Steve Simmons has assisted with data submissions and updates for the past few years but the list has grown too large to manage by hand. TC Motoring Guild has jumped in to help update, modernize and maintain the list. Two of our members, Mike Simmons and Steve Simmons are currently working to convert years of hand typed notes into a sorted and organized database of TC car numbers, owner names, locations and historical data. The project will take a tremendous amount of man hours but the end result will be a fully modern and searchable database, hosted on the TCMG website. You can see the old hand-typed Provenance List HERE until the new version is completed.
Our next monthly meeting will be held on Zoom on February 27th. The evening’s program will involve our members sharing their three favorite MG related items. Choose up to three things that aren’t bolted to your car. It could be the first MG key chain you ever got, a perfect condition period shop manual, a first edition “The Red Car”, the cross flow head you bought, installed, then realized it was porous and removed it, the T shirt from your first GOF, a copy of the speeding ticket you got in your TC (an exceedingly rare item), MG models, literature, etc. Items don’t have to be MG-centric, but should be related, like Lucas, SU, etc.
If you have photos to show and aren’t familiar with screen sharing on Zoom, send your photos to Joyce Edgar by February 26th and she will display them for you at the meeting.
Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
January recap: 30 members attended our January meeting on Zoom. Seven TCs were driven a simulated 10 miles by Edgar, Lemieux, M. Simmons, S. Simmons, Sorensen, Thelander and Zucca.

Monthly Events
THIS IS AN RSVP EVENT! Join us on March 17 for a driving tour ending at TCMG member Gene Olson’s home in Bradbury, where we will enjoy an outdoor picnic and a tour of his newly built log cabin. Relax in the shade of 35 oak trees and enjoy views of the San Gabriel Valley. There is a hiking trail adjacent. Bring your lunch with you! The host will provide coffee, tea, and desserts.
The picnic and cabin tour will run from Noon – 3:00 PM. Details on the driving tour are forthcoming. The photo above is from our last event here in 2021.
Please RSVP so our hosts know how much seating, food and beverages are needed. RSVP info will be sent out in our group email soon, or contact Gene Olson directly.
February recap: Nine members with 4 TCs participated in our Lame Duck Kup event. Congratulations to David Edgar for “bringing home the duck” this year!
