Sarasota's Zack and Greta Hamric spend 100 hours each year maintaining their 1956 Jaguar XK 140MC Roadster formerly owned by Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
When they saw it at the St. Louis Car Museum & Sales four years ago, they quickly decided to purchase the vehicle.
In addition to the average of 12 miles per week they drive the car, they enjoyed showcasing it at St. Armands Circle Park, during Concours d'Elegance on Jan. 11.
Zack Hamric called the event "tremendous" because of the amount of Jaguar enthusiasts present, calling it a "great show" with a "beautiful job" of production.
Held by the Sun Coast Jaguar Club, the event allowed the public a free opportunity to view the British luxury vehicles, which came mainly from around Florida, as well as for members of the club and affiliated clubs to gather together.
Originally scheduled for Oct. 12, it had been postponed due to Hurricane Helene, and Hamric noted he was glad for the chance to support the businesses of St. Armands to help them move forward into the new year.
Club member Craig Green said members enjoy gathering together "because we love Jaguars, because we enjoy the legacy of Jaguars, the beauty of the car."
"Everybody likes supporting the club," he also said. "We like the camaraderie of it. It's a good group of people."
