Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Do I need to own a Jaguar to join?
Jaguar ownership is not a strict requirement — enthusiasts and admirers of the marque are welcome. However, most members are proud owners themselves.
What does membership cost?
Membership fees are set annually by the committee and are very reasonable. Please contact the secretary for current rates, or you'll see them when registering online.
Can I bring my Jaguar to events?
Absolutely — that's the whole point! All models and years are welcome at club events. The more Jaguars, the better.
I'm new to classic car ownership. Is the club for me?
Yes! Many members joined knowing very little about their car's maintenance. The club is an excellent source of knowledge, and members are always happy to help.
