Our Forum is a place for members and non-members alike to get help, seek advice and share experiences about their Jaguars. As the place where most discussion goes on within the club there is always something new to catch up on, learn or a new opportunity to help out a fellow JEC member. Today we take a look at some of the best threads from across the forum for various models. If you’re not involved in our forum then you can do so by clicking HERE.

MK2

The MK2 needs little introduction and is the absolute embodiment of ‘Grace, Pace, Space’ as championed by Sir William Lyons. Come to any JEC event and you’ll be sure to see plenty MK2s in fine running order – this is due to our caring members preserving these beautiful cars, but also a testament to the knowledge contained within the MK2 section of the forum. One such example is forum user jaglover842 who has recently brought his father in law’s 1964 3.8 MOD out from storage after it was put away with a fuel pump issue on jaglover842’s wedding day. 


The car looks stunning and we look forward to seeing it at future events! Read the full thread HERE, pictures are below.

XJS

Aside from sharing ongoing projects our forum is a great place to receive help and support from other owners. In the XJS area, forum user MichaelSB asked about removing a piece of trim on his XJS Celebration Convertible and received plenty of help from other users who had experienced the same issues. Having figured out the issue and which part needed to come out – the only thing left to do is see how he got on… Read the thread HERE

F-Type

We are lucky to be part of a club that not only has a rich heritage, but is still producing some of the world’s most exciting cars. The F-Type section of the forum is testament to this, with caring owners doing right by their modern classics. One of the most interesting threads in the F-Type forum is called ‘Running in a new engine’ where forum users discuss the virtues of the early oil change, but also deliberate if it’s absolutely necessary? Given engines are made in considerably cleaner environments and the components have vastly finer quality control measures there is a very different running in process compared to 30 years ago.

Before you get in touch with us please make sure to note down as many of the following details as possible. If you can complete the checklist ahead of time, it’ll make the process of arranging your insurance quick, simple and easy.

 

Personal Details

  • Your personal details, including your full address, home, work and mobile phone numbers, and email address.
  • The full name, address, date of birth, duration of licence to drive, and 5-year claim and conviction record of the person who will be driving the vehicle(s).
  • Your membership number for the JEC
  • How many vehicles are in the household (you might qualify for multi-car insurance).

 

Vehicle Details

  • The make, model and year of the vehicle(s).
  • The current overall mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • The engine size and specification of the vehicle(s).
  • All modifications made to the vehicle(s), such as the installation of non-standard wheels, aftermarket electronic equipment, performance-enhancing parts, or cosmetic upgrades.
  • Any previous professional valuations of the vehicle(s).

 

Vehicle Use

  • Where the vehicle(s) is/are typically kept overnight (e.g. a garage).
  • The expected annual mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • What the vehicle(s) is/are typically used for.
  • What cover (if any) is required for:

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
