After a rainy night in Glasgow, the sun came out on Saturday 28th June just in time for the JEC Scottish gathering at the Riverside museum on the the Clyde. There was an excellent turnout of 106 Jaguars of different eras, but pride of place went to 9 XJSs, on the marque’s 50th anniversary. All Scottish JEC regions were represented, mainly Grampian and Glasgow, and of course our friends from Jaguar Drivers Club. We were pleased to welcome those who attended from JEC “Central” too. All in all, this was very friendly meet, and much crack was exchanged. As in 2024, the museum proved an excellent host and its visitors were delighted to see our cars, with some excited children getting the chance to sit at the wheel! Most importantly though was the £1500 raised for the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance. Grateful thanks to our own Jim Mann for making it all happen and to his marshals. A full report will appear elsewhere in the magazine.
Closer to home 17 GR JEC members went for a drive and lunch on 12th June. Beginning in Banchory we went along the south Deeside Road to Aboyne where an excellent lunch was served at the Boat Inn. Returning on the A93, we stopped at the Deeside Gliding Club to watch aircraft taking off. Plans for our major gathering at Drum Castle in July were discussed. Information on the event is coming out now but a particular effort is requested from members to help out.

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.
