The Suncoast British Car Club was formed by a group of British Car enthusiasts in 1991, celebrated its 20th birthday at the Devereaux-Kaiser Car Show on January 30, 2011. Since 1991, the Club has been the center of activity for British car enthusiasts in Sarasota and Bradenton and surrounding areas of Florida's suncoast.
Our mission is to promote the enjoyment of owning, maintaining and driving our British cars. We try to do that through our monthly meetings and holding or attending a variety of events of interest to the membership over the year.

The Jaguar Mark IV (pronounced mark four) is a saloon car built by Jaguar from 1945 to 1949. It was a relaunch of a pre-Second World War model made by SS Cars Ltd from 1936.
This particular example is named Ivy ( IV, get it? ). The car was born in Coventry, England in October 1948. It was originally being constructed as a L.H.D. but while on the production line, was converted to be R.H.D. The car was imported to Binghamton, NY around 1964.
The car returned to British ownership then the Clark's acquired her in 2007. The Clark's did quite a lot of work on her with new upholstery, woodwork, wheels, tyres, hubs, bearings, a 5-speed gearbox, SS muffler system, lighting, indicators, and a myriad of fittings that hadn't worked in years. A final touch was the green finish.
