Do you remember the thrill of that first drive in the open air, on a twisty country road? Well that feeling is what the members of the Mid Maine Sports Car Club strive to keep alive by restoring and driving our vintage British cars.  To celebrate our cars during British Car Week, from May 31 through June 7, the MMSCC is sponsoring an All British Car Show on Sunday June 1. The cars will be displayed on Chestnut Street between Camden National Bank and the common from noon to three PM. The public is invited to view the cars as well as vote for their favorite car. Peoples choice trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place.
