The JDC will be in its now usual spot in Hall 1, the first hall on the left-hand side when you arrive at the NEC. Look for the ceiling banner in the bottom left-hand corner from the entrance and you’ll find us with another fantastic display of cars, as outlined below, and a very warm welcome!
Embracing the event’s theme, the Club promises to deliver the ‘best of both worlds’ by displaying a selection of Jaguar’s most celebrated competition and road cars, each with a unique story to tell.
Leading the line-up is the legendary 1956 Jaguar D-type ‘Long Nose’ (393 RW), one of only eleven ever produced. Thanks to JDHT for loaning us the car.
Continuing the racing theme, the JDC will also feature the renowned modified Mark I saloon, BUY 1, created for the 1959 production saloon car season.
Grant Williams, who will be on the stand, will also present his freshly restored Jaguar Mark II ‘JAG 400’, an ex-competition car from the early 1960s.
Visitors will also be treated to the 1967 Jaguar Mark II Convertible, an extraordinary transformation by specialists Vicarage, commissioned by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher.
Nigel Webb’s stunning Jaguar Mark I 3.4 tribute to Mike Hawthorn, which was painstakingly put together over 15 years will also be showcased.
