East Sussex Yearly Show
Well after 10 months of planning the time finally arrived of our yearly regional showin the sumptuous grounds of the Bannatynes Hotel in Hastings and what a weekend it was.For those that made the most of it inc those travelling from far and wide -we had representatives from Scotland to the Isle of Wight- a fantastic Saturday of Golf ,relaxation and spa treatmentsThe luxurious stay in the hotel included access to all the spa amenities which were well exploited.Afternoon tea was partaken in the fabulous gardens and then all joined in the availability of the bar before a delicious 3 course dinner where the guest speaker was our own national chairman Peter Leakewho once again proved engaging and informative -a wealth of historical knowledge.The next morning was an early breakfast and then the car show started in earnest with vehicles starting to arrive from 10am and what a plethora of fantastic motors it was. The mayor of Hastings Cllr Paula Ward graciously opened proceedings with the cutting of the ribbon and the show could start in earnest Despite clashing with other major shows ( to be rectified next year) on the day almost 100 cars made it through the gates and the quality was certainly not lacking with the age spanning from the 1920s to the current day ,mostly Jaguars but also Rover, Mini ,Triumph ,MG and other British marques ( even a bit of yank muscle made the scene)Many thanks to our sponsors CKL Developments and Millars classic for their attendance and fantastic displays ,these guys always go above and beyond and are ever approachable with answers and solutions to all your needs The raffle was immensely popular with many prizes donated by sponsors and members alike and then it was time for the prize giving. A difficult choice naturally presented itself but eventually the show winners were as follows
Chairmans Choice Award went to Marc Laidlaw with his 1995 turquoise 4.0 xj sports stunning example of an appreciating classic
Best of British was Chris Best with a very regal 1933 Austin 12 Lite ( Harley)
Best in show went to Andrew Honeychurch and a flawless example of a 1966 E-Type 4.2 Roadster in stunning red

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.
