By the time you read this, our Drive It Day outing to Snape has taken place, which all went well. This included the first outing for our new red gazebo, which revealed that the old Jaguar motto of Grace, Space and Pace is only true for the first and third attribute - they were not designed with gazebo frames in mind.
Similarly our Show at Rickinghall will have happened on 18 May, so more on this next time. However there should be a good show of Jaguars, as I have had several members contact me about coming along from neighbouring regions, and some people that are long term members who as yet do not come to any regional meetings. We hope to make a profit to give to our 2025 charity, Sarcoma UK.
A regular attendee in a 1950s Scammel lorry has now bought a traction engine, so we should see a bit of steam there as well, and cars should range from a 1915 Model T Ford to modern American muscle cars and a Lotus single seater racer!
We present a trophy to the best car and two runners up, so I look forward to revealing those next month.
In the meantime, please get in touch with the respective organiser to book places at the various shows throughout the summer, as per the recent schedule sent out. We are finding deadlines are getting tighter all the time, and more require a payment. Good job Rickinghall is still free for exhibiting vehicles!

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
Vehicle Details
Vehicle Use
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.

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.
