San Diego Jaguar Club History |
History of the ClubBack in 1958, a young Navy pilot, John Duncan, was transferred to San Diego from San Francisco. He owned a Jaguar XK 140 MC FHC. He had been very active in the San Francisco Jaguar Club. San Diego did not have a Jaguar Club so he joined the Coronado Sports Car Club. There, he met Bill Grevemeyer and Bill Swett, who also owned Jaguars. They decided to organize a Jaguar Club in San Diego. The men placed flyers on every Jaguar they saw. Early in 1959, they had enough people interested to apply to Jaguar Clubs of North America for a charter for the Jaguar Automobile Club of San Diego. The club's corporate charter defined its purpose as providing a social environment within which Jaguar owners can share their enthusiasm for Jaguar cars, perpetuate the heritage of the marque, and encourage the preservation and restoration of older Jaguar cars. While the official name of the club was the Jaguar Automobile Club of San Diego, we now call it The San Diego Jaguar Club.

History of our Logo
Bob Fitzgerald was President of the San Diego Jaguar Club in 1962. The club was very active in area rallies, as were other car clubs in San Diego. The cars in a rally were numbered, but Bob felt the SDJC cars should be identified as belonging to club members. Bob sat down at his drawing board and created the artwork for the club logo. This turned out to be the wire wheel with "JAGUAR CLUB SAN DIEGO" printed around the tire. To emphasize the motif, he drew a Jaguar as depicted by the hood ornament, leaping from the upper portion of the tire. Copies were made to pass out to members entering the rallies to tape on the car doors.
The club decided to order patches. Small patches were placed over shirt pockets and large ones were placed on shirt backs. These were worn to rallies, driving events, and the Concours.
The leaper Jaguar was later updated, reversed, and moved to its present position. The new logo is used on newsletters, mastheads, decals, Jaguar car windshields, stationary, badges, writing pens, hats, and lapel pens.
