Welcome to the 'Host Region' of both the JEC 2019 and 2021 Jaguar Summer Festivals

The JEC's Oxfordshire Region was officially launched In June 2018, after a ceremonial cake cutting celebration at Bicester Heritage's Flywheel Festival. We are an extremely active and ambitious region. At our March 2024 AGM we will have had no less than 200 meetings with more than 20 Members, Family & Friewnds at each and every one. Many of our events attract JEC Members from many other Regions, far and wide, and all such visitors are always most welcome.

Membership continues to be growing fast, with more than 80 subscribers and personal contact with, and engagement by, significantly more than half of the JEC members across Oxfordshire, Eastern Gloucestershire & the fringes of Swindon & Aylesbury. You would be more than welcome to join us.

We typically hold at least 2 meetings a month, very often 3, a few times 5 and even 6 once ! These take place right around the shire and are made up of drive-outs, talks, visits, 'open nights' and more.

Our 2024 programme has seen us focus on even bigger and better events, with some top flight speakers, trips away and providing significant & vital support to Club events including at Bicester Heritage, as our 'spiritual home', and the British Motor Museum / Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust at Gaydon. We are already planning to outdo this in 2025.

Over the weekend of 2nd-5th July 2021, the Region was honoured to play 'host' to the, biggest and still best to date, JEC Summer Jaguar Festival, held at Bicester Heritage, with some 35 of us playing our full part in the operation of the event (including the parking of more than 1,500 cars !), providing or supporting major components of it (the Driving Experiences around the Test Circuit, entering the Pride and Joy competition, entering the Concours (and winning it) and providing a drive route to the event from Heythrop Park Hotel). If that was not enough, we also set up a lot of it on the Friday and took a lot of it down again on the Monday. It was a VERY full-on, but hugely enjoyable, weekend !

We have regularly hosted other JEC events at Bicester Heritage, such as the Young Jaguar Enthusiasts' Driving Experiences in 2022 and 2023, when our Members cars' were a major part of the experiences fleet. This event was triggered by our Region. Annually, we've partnered, some 7 times now, with Mission Motorsport to deliver 'Veterans@Heritage'. Our Members and their Jaguars take Veterans, Dependants and serving military personnel about to, or recently, resettle into civilian life, for passenger experiences. Our partners, the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust always help out, as do Bicester Heritage tenants, with some Jaguar 'exotica'.

If you would like to know more about the region or want to attend one of our meetings then please have no hesitation in contacting us, using the Region Enquiry function on this site, for more information.
