WHAT WE DO
The Southern British Car Club of Greater Chattanooga (SBCC) is a very active British Car Club. While we try to have activities every month, you may choose to only participate in one or two events per year, or maybe you will want to “drive the wheels off” as long time member Charles Long is fond of saying. It is your decision how much you participate.
Below is a brief description of several of our activities

.
- British Fools Bash is is a yearly activity held in late March or early April around April 1st. This is a gathering of the British Car Clubs in East Tennessee. These clubs rotate hosting the event. They are: English Auto, Blount British, and Plateau British. There are 2 other British clubs in East Tennessee, MG Drivers, and Appalachian British Motoring. Our club will host the event once every four years.
- Cambridge Square This event started in 2018. The first Monday night of each month we gather at Cambridge Square in Ooltewah. This is a cruise-in for all types of cars and pickup trucks. We generally look at cars, talk about cars, and grab a bite to eat.
- “Gathering at the Sonic” From May through September we gather at the Sonic in Ooltewah on the third Friday of each month at 7PM for hamburgers or hot dogs then half-price milk shakes at 8PM. We have a lot of good conversation sometimes lasting until 9 or 10PM.
- Monthly Drives We try to have monthly drives. The mileage is approximately 200 to 250 miles depending on where you start. January 1 is the New Years Day Drive, in March there is the St. Patrick’s Day Drive. During the summer months the drives are often going to a British car shows in Townsend, Morristown or Rugby, TN, Dillard, GA and Rogersville, AL. We have done Sunday afternoon drives, but most are on Saturday. We have also taken overnight drives, the most recent ones to Cumberland Gap, KY in 2015 and to Hilton Head, SC in 2017. Where would you like to go?
- Annual British Car Show The club has held an annual All British car show in October since the early 1990s, often having over 100 cars. While we were at the Chattanooga Choo Choo for 25 years we had to move to a new location. We hope that Cambridge Square in Ooltewah meets our needs starting in 2019.
- Cars and Coffee Several members have attended the Cars and Coffee held on the 3rd Saturday of each month at the Perimeter Shopping Center at the intersection of HWY 153 and Lee Hwy.
- As you see we offer a variety of activities. Pick and choose what you want to do. Make friends with other British car enthusiast and JOIN THE FUN.
