JEC Grampian Region - The Italian Job 2026

From Jim Mann

Believe it or not, the end of summer is fast approaching, and it is time once again for “The Italian Job”, which is traditionally our final runout of the year with the Jaguars before they are tucked away for their winter hibernation – although we will have the COTAG photo opportunity at the end of September this year!

 

The 2026 Italian Job will take place on Friday the 11th of September, starting from the Raemoir Garden Centre, with a departure time around 11:00– so no early start or driving after dark. I haven’t yet settled on a destination restaurant, but it will be somewhere with decent car parking and a great menu – no longer necessarily Italian of course.

 

If you want to take part in this outing, please email me on jim.mann2@btinternet.com to let me know how many will be in your party – remember this is a social outing and partners are most welcome. If you could let me know by Friday the 4th of September 2026, that would be great.

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.
