Introduction
from our
President
Stephen Knox
The Thoroughbred Sports Car Club was formed in 1981, mainly by
people from Aston Martin and Jaguar clubs. In its early days there was a
strong emphasis on competition for which the members’ cars were
ideally suited.
Over the years the scope of the club has shifted and, while there are still
members who actively campaign their cars in a variety of motor sport
events, the main aim now is on social activities. These include regular
runs on a Wednesday, weekend outings and overnight stays.
If the members have changed, then so have the cars. There are still
some beautiful examples of Aston Martin and Jaguar in the club but the
range now includes cars from Mazda to McLaren and Ford to Ferrari.
The term ‘thoroughbred’ is less relevant today than it was, as car
companies merge, take over others and share components. However,
the word still conjures up images of quality and interesting vehicles.
Similarly, whilst there are some magnificent sports cars in the club,
members also own saloons and convertibles, but always of the type
that interest enthusiasts.
The TSCC has never been a big club and until recently, membership was
capped at 100. It was lifted to 120 in 2018 and retains a close ‘family’
feel.
We meet monthly at Carlingford Bowling Club.
