Circuit des Remparts, Angoulême - Exclusive JEC Tour

Join fellow members on a superb drive to South West France to the amazing ‘Circuit des Remparts’ event in Angoulême. This exclusive tour for Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club members is hosted by an experienced tour manager, alongside former TWR Jaguar Director and knowledgeable motorsport expert Richard West, who will lead the tour from the start to finish.

This motoring festival takes place over the third weekend in September; to include a non-competitive rally around the stunning Charente countryside, famous for its Cognac vineyards and distilleries. The weekend culminates with the racing taking place on the closed streets of Angoulême, on a 1.5 km circuit which has remained unchanged since the 1930’s, when it was run as a Grand Prix. Drivers such as Trintignant and Fangio have both raced in Angoulême.

The tour departs from Portsmouth as you board the overnight ferry to St Malo. We have arranged a meeting point once on board to get to know your fellow tour participants. The real fun starts as we arrive the following morning into St Malo in Brittany and take to the stunning French roads and head for the pretty village of Combourg for a lakeside breakfast stop. From here enjoy the superb empty French D-roads with suggested stops along the way. The first overnight stay is in Fontevraud just a few kilometres from the Loire River. Your charming hotel is situated in the main square, where you can enjoy a drink after the day's drive before dinner that evening.

Day two brings another superb day of driving as you head into the Vienne Valley. We have included a coffee stop as well as other interesting stops such as the ruins in one of the ‘plus beaux villages des France’. The run then takes you into the Charente to your central hotel in Angoulême, complete with secure parking and an outdoor swimming pool, perfect after a day’s driving.

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).

  • 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).

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.
