We're fortunate to have many classic car clubs in the
Tampa Bay area!
Each of these clubs include a variety of activities as incentive to keep your car running. Members have multiple chances to drive and enjoy themselves with events guaranteed to draw everyone's interest.
Although there are many "dual" members in these clubs, we have been known to combine our activities on occasion. One of our favorite parts of owning any British car is the people. Whether your at a show or on the road, the cars give folks a great outlet to connect and share stories. As long as we are given any excuse to keep that MG or British sports car running, and keep it running, there will be great British car clubs like these!

The Florida Suncoast MG Car Club
"In August of 1980, a few friends got together and decided to form a club for MG owners. By November, they were ready to incorporate as the Florida Suncoast MG Car Club. Finally, after a lot of work, the club was ready to be listed with the international MG Car Club, Ltd. as the second official center in the state of Florida."
Now, this active group of enthusiasts hosts a monthly breakfast gathering, a monthly gathering, and also hosts the MG Jamboree, a weekend of fun and community that has become one of Florida's favorite MG gatherings. We've seen folks come from as far as Georgia and Alabama for this event! All the information you may need can be found at the club website: http://fsmgcc.com/.
The MG Car Club of Florida
Another club in the area that caters to the MG crowd is the Suncoast Classic MG Club. They have teamed up with the Nature Coast English Car Club and have regular meetings every month. Everyone is welcome to meet the members and admire the cars in the lot. If you are interested in being considered as a member of the club, please complete the application provided on their website and mail it in.
Typical "Events of the Month" with the Suncoast Classic MG Club range from a scheduled run, lunch, picnic, local meet or event, Chili Cook-Off, Shrimp in the Park, or a number of other events.
The Sun Coast Classic MG Club was founded in 1973 out of pure fun and frustration by Bob Sumner and a bunch of diehard MG enthusiasts over pizza. Several of the founding members are still at it, still eating pizza and still participating in all events. So if you like tradition and the love of driving your MG, this club is for you. Yes, we have show cars but everyone has a daily driver to brave the weather. The Nature Coast English Car Club was founded more recently to serve British car owners in the northern part of our area.
