The Ponte Vedra Auto Show will return for its 24th year on Sunday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Nocatee Station Field.
The show will feature more than 200 classic and collector cars including cars from the Jaguar Autosport and Touring Club.
The club was founded in 2001 and originally named the Jaguar Club of North Florida. However, as the years went by it became clear to some of the original members that some updates were needed. The club went through a rebrand in 2024 and became the Jaguar Autosport and Touring Club.
“Non-geographical in reach, it focused on the entire range of old and ‘newer’ Jags. A new website was developed; new driving and meeting events were planned on a monthly basis to keep interest. Communication and follow-through with members were key and the results speak for themselves,” said Harold Kelly, treasurer of the club.
Kelly has been a member of the club almost since the beginning, but he has had a passion and a love for cars his entire life.
“It’s hard for me to not be enthusiastic about Jags … and especially XKEs … ever since I was a kid,” he said.
According to Kelly, in 2025 the Jaguar Autosport and Touring Club became the fastest growing club of the more than 50 Jaguar clubs of Noth America in terms of percentage growth year-over-year and in number of members added.
The club’s mission is to bring together Jaguar owners, enthusiasts and admirers who share a passion for cars, community and the driving experience. According to Kelly, most current members own a Jaguar or some other British marques, but having a Jaguar is not a requirement for joining the club. Membership benefits include the chance to socialize with Jaguar, British car and other auto enthusiasts through various events held throughout the year and a long list of resources and referrals for Jaguar maintenance.
The Jaguar Autosport and Touring Club also branches out and collaborates with other car clubs and attends their events.
“You’ll often spot us at the various cars and coffee-type gatherings around town,” said Kelly.
As in years past, the Jaguar Autosport and Touring Club will once again be represented at the Ponte Vedra Auto Show along with other British car clubs in the area like Austin Healy, MG and Triumph. Kelly said it will be a great way to “present a solid, multi-generational array of great English cars.”
