WISCONSIN

Madison MG Group (MMGG)

Our club, unlike its name is actually an all-british marque club, with Triumphs, Jaguars, Austin-Healeys, Lotuses (Lotii?), Minis, a Sunbeam, a Jensen-Healey, an MG Y tourer, as well as MGTs, MGAs, MGBs, and Midgets. We have been in existence since 1991, the re-formation of a MG T-series club by that name which apparently disbanded in the late 1970s. We have approximately 65 households as members, representing at least 150 cars. We are not affiliated with any of the national clubs due to our mulligan stew of vehicles, but we do have a "sister" club in Milwaukee, WI - the Milwaukee and Great Lakes MG Motorcar Group (MGMGMG, or MG3; primarily an MG organization). We also are developing a relationship with a club to the south of us in Rockford, IL named British Boots and Bonnets. They are about the same as our club in terms of size and blend of vehicles.

DON'T BE A SOLITARY CAT
Wisconsin Jaguars Ltd. was formed in 1979 to serve the needs of Jaguar enthusiasts through out the state for the exchange of information and ideas, and to share the sheer joy of these wonderful cars. Since its formation, our club has grown to a membership of more than 100 owners (families) with more than 180 Jaguars. The Jaguars owned by our members range from the MK IV drophead to the current XK8, and from the famous SS-100 roadster through the XK-120, 140 and 150 series, plus all of the XKEs. Some rare models, such as a 1938 SS with custom Graber body, XK-SS and "C" type are also owned by our members.
We believe that our Jaguars should be enjoyed and driven. Accordingly, we tailor our events not only to the owner who prefers to do his own maintenance, or wants to learn how; but also to anyone who wishes to just display or drive their Cat..
