Since our inception in 1984, the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club has grown to become the largest Jaguar club in the world, serving over 15,000 Jaguar, Daimler, and SS aficionados. Based in Filton, Bristol, the club operates from dedicated office premises, providing local and national support to our members.

Our Mission

We exist to unite Jaguar enthusiasts from all walks of life and enhance your ownership experience through a vibrant community, unique experiences, and technical support. By harnessing the strength of our community, we advocate for parts supply issues and, through our membership in the FBHVC (Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs), we fight for legislators to keep our freedom to use yesterday’s Jaguars on tomorrow’s roads. 

Whether you’re purchasing your first model, restoring a classic, or merely revelling in automotive craftsmanship, we are the Club to come to for technical advice, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences.

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.
