JEC Grampian Region - 2026 Charity Presentation

From Jim Mann

Many thanks to those of you who managed to come along to our Annual Gathering at Drum Castle on the 26th of July. We managed to raise a tidy £1,000 for our charity, COTAG 4 x 4 Response. Our Treasurer has already made a bank transfer to the COTAG account, and they have been extremely grateful for our support in 2026, which will allow them to carry on their excellent work supporting the community in the Northeast.

 

We are trying to find a suitable photo opportunity to gather a number of our Jaguars alongside the 4 x 4 and Trucks of the COTAG Team, where we can get some good photos of a presentation of the funds for our magazine report. The most suitable photo opportunity will be at the Bennachie Visitor Centre Car Park on Sunday the 27th of September at 09:00. A link to the Visitor Centre is at the foot of the email along with local directions. The early timing is so we can get the photos before the trucks head off-road on their mission for the day – making a recce ahead of the upcoming Bennachie Hill Race in October, and therefore end up very dirty! Ideally, we would like a good showing of our cars to enhance the photo and with that in mind, especially given the early hour proposed for the photo, we would carry on afterwards to Anderson’s of Inverurie, the furniture store, for a Coffee and Cars get together from just after 10:00.

 

If you can make it along to the Visitor Centre, please email me at to let me know we will have a decent turnout. If you are only planning to attend the Coffee and Cars, then no requirement to let me know about that as it is a simple turn up and enjoy type outing. If anyone needs directions for Anderson’s of Inverurie, please check out the link here: <

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.
