American Coventry
We’re pleased to announce a new vehicle repair and restoration shop specializing in Jaguar and other British cars is coming to town. American Coventry is currently relocating their shop and services to St. Augustine, FL. While the shop has a long history of offering top-shelf restorations for vintage cars, their initial focus upon opening will be helping the British car-owning community get their beloved cars back on the road in safe and reliable operation.
American Coventry’s first shop is expected to be up and running in October 2025, with a larger facility being slated for completion in June of 2026. Their initial facility is limited in size, so only a few vehicles will be serviced at a time. Take this announcement as your notice to get in touch with American Coventry now to reserve some time for your Jag this winter.
Location Opening in October 2025:
200 Waler Way, St. Augustine, FL 32086
