Blowin’ Smoke

Where International Jaguar Festivals are concerned, there are usually two types of JCNA members. There are those who attend, sometimes driving long distances in order to show a car, or compete with others in a rally or slalom and/or soak up the camaraderie of being with like-minded enthusiasts. The second, and inevitably much larger group, consists of those who don’t or can’t attend, for whatever reason. AN UNWELCOME ‘FIRST’ This year, I invented a new category – by flying 600 miles and seeing almost none of the action and few of the people, courtesy of an ill-timed bout of Montezuma’s revenge. Thanks to the efforts of others on site, we have nevertheless managed to put some nice coverage together. One of those ‘others’ was Nicole Smart, who writes the Spotlight…

Paws-itive Lessons from Hosting an IJF

THE BACK STORY When a planned event takes a hard left, some JCNA leaders don’t just pump the brakes. They rev their engines, guzzle the high-test stuff (coffee) and stage a last-minute replacement IJF that would leave even the most seasoned event planner wide-eyed with wonder (or dread). Organizing an event successfully is like a well-tuned engine. The collaborative efforts of many parts and systems are an essential part of the smooth running. Such was the situation in fall of 2023 when the demise of the late October Santa Barbara IJF morphed into a late September South Carolina event. Yes, you read that right – it didn’t just become a sudden load on a totally new set of organizers, the deadlines tightened by a whole month just to make it…

Co-habiting Columbians

When the history of Jaguar historians comes to be written, the family trees of JCNA and the Coventry Foundation will have lots of interconnected nodes of expertise, facilities, archives and personnel. Less than a decade ago, the Coventry Foundation (initially named The Jaguar Foundation, until nixed by Corporate legal) was little more than a gleam in the eye of some forward thinkers such as Messrs Kincel, Wright, Camp and Hagopian, to name just four, all of whom were long-term and senior members of JCNA. They saw both an opportunity and a need to offer charitable donation and tax write-off services and materials not specifically handled by JCNA, for individuals and businesses. By catching the wave of a graying out enthusiast base keen to slim down their fleets, the foundation was…

President’s Perspective

I hope that you are all enjoying a great start to 2024. I know that some of you have expressed your dislike of the inflation increase to the dues this year. Inflation is one of the issues that we, as a board, cannot control. We are all feeling the impact of inflation in our lives. We don’t like it, but we must pay the increased costs it causes. I was in favor of keeping the cost of the dues the same, but the other board members reminded me that it is our responsibility to be good stewards of the club’s financial health. Remember that JCNA’s Annual General Meeting is coming up in a few short months. My hope is that many of you are making plans to attend this year.…

Canada Calling 2.0

In July 2023, the Federal Government of Canada initiated the new Clean Fuels Regulation (CFR) framework to replace the previous Federal Fuel Regulations. The CFR regulations are far more complicated, as they include carbon trading credit aspects, but the general idea is to lower the Carbon Intensity (CI) of the gasoline, diesel and heating fuels provided to consumers. The new CFR necessitates the increased use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel to lower the CI of their products. It encourages producers to reduce carbon emissions at the oil production and processing stage. It also is designed to increase electric vehicle sales. As the transportation sector in Canada is estimated to constitute 25 percent of Canada’s overall CO2 emissions, it is hoped that this initiative will reduce CO2 emissions…

Continental Drift

JAGUAR CLASSIC SPARES ON EBAY Classic Jaguar and Land Rover eBay stores open The multitude of reasons that someone would choose to buy, restore or drive a classic are as varied as they are personal to every classic car user. When it comes to downsides, however, the breadth of those reasons narrows dramatically. One of the biggest single drawbacks of classic car ownership is the sourcing and procurement of good replacement parts for older vehicles, hence the buzz felt when you finally get hold of that new old stock original trim piece for your XJ6, or that OEM filler cap for your Mk 2, is something to behold. But for every hour spent collecting these parts in anticipatory bliss, there can often be many less productive hours spent undertaking ultimately…

Heritage Happenings

We receive many interesting requests at JDHT asking about our cars and archive information, and a recent request pulled these two areas together. We were contacted by Rusty Hansgen, son of the American racing driver from the 1950s and ‘60s, Walt Hansgen. Walt is not very well known in the UK but is well-remembered in the US, as he won four Sports Car Club of America championships and was one of the main drivers for team owner Briggs Cunningham. Walt’s link to our cars is our 1956 Jaguar D-Type – chassis XKD605, registered 393 RW, which won the Reims 12-hour and then went on to race at Le Mans, finishing sixth. It was then shipped out to the US where it was one of the cars raced by Briggs Cunningham.…

Heritage Happenings

The King declared a gauntlet being cast upon stone and the challenge accepted for the 2023 International Jaguar Festival JCNA Class A Slalom Competition Champion. King’s Knights Templar Sir John Boswell II, 2021 JCNA Slalom Class A Champion, dueled Black Knight Sir George Cole, 2022 JCNA Slalom Champion in the fields of Coventry (Foundation) at the 2023 International Jaguar Festival. Although brothers-in-arms, only one could survive this joust to be declared victorious. Sir John piloted his 1938 SS 3½ Litre DHC, while Sir George took the reins of his 1947 Jaguar 3½ Litre saloon. Both chariots were identically prepared with 6-cylinder 125-stallion power, four-speed manual interchange, strong-arm steering, and mechanical rod and bell crank whoa. This competition was a head-to-head line-up of stock, vintage chariots. as Bill Lyons and Bill…

Passing of a Scientist

[Editor’s Note: When Benjamin Franklin wrote that “…in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes” he had a point. Nevertheless, despite their importance, neither topic is much discussed in car magazines. Apart from the occasional obituary, or discussions of the terrible 1955 Le Mans accident, Jaguar Journal has barely mentioned mortality in decades. Nor have we recently discussed dealer closures, although in the 1980s and 1990s there was coverage of the rationalization that took place to enhance dealer facilities and sales territories. This article touches on both topics, in what Stan Fitch rightly refers to as a personal story of love and loss, be it a life partner and arch Jaguar fan, or familiar faces and facilities in our dealer network. We will be returning to the dealer…

Expanding Our Horizons

Anyone who has witnessed the work involved and passions aroused by JCNA concours debates at an AGM will realize why the JCNA judging rules and model-specific concours guides are without doubt amongst the most exacting and stringent anywhere. Unlike individual shows that develop their own criteria, sanctioned JCNA events strive to supplement subjectivity with dispassionate objectivity, to allow championships to be won and lost across dozens of events in three countries. One consequence of these exacting rules and superlative standards, is that cars prepared to JCNA specifications stand a good chance of winning honors at non-sanctioned events. Not only that, but when Jaguars enter non-Jaguar events, we help to promote our favorite marque and entertain show-goers who may not have realized just how beautiful a wellprepared Jaguar can be without…

First Of The Few

JAGUAR SHOW I bought my first Jaguar, a 1989 XJ6 Vanden Plas sedan, as a new car for my wife. Six months later, I was at the Minneapolis Auto Show and saw a stunning red Jaguar, which the booth staff told me was a pre-production example of a forthcoming new model, the XJR-S. The car looked unique to me, and the fact that it was a pre-production car and the only one in North America added extra interest. Several weeks later, I stopped by the dealer and saw the car being readied for shipment – apparently back to the UK. I questioned if this really was the only one, and I was told that yes, it was unique in the country. When I asked about buying it, I was told…

A Testament to Craftsmanship

HORSES FOR COURSES Not surprisingly, Jaguar Journal features lots of stories about the famous Coventry sports racers such as the C-Type and D-Type. Part of the reason Jaguar did so well with their sports car efforts is they targeted specific events such as the long-distance races in Europe. Formula 1 racing even then would have been very expensive and more of a gamble, whereas national-level short circuit racing lacked the global prestige of the classic endurance events. This focus on the requirements for success at Le Mans, Reims, etc., meant that the Jaguars were less suited to smaller, more twisty tracks, which in turn left room for smaller teams to alter the specification, or even build completely new bodies and running gear, thus achieving David and Goliath success against the…

A Testament to Craftsmanship

On Friday, September 29, as the earth turned ever closer toward the sun’s bright glare, a line of Jaguars pulled into the parking lot of the Lake Murray dam. Enthusiastic rally participants disembarked onto the warm asphalt, congregating into a small assembly of squinting onlookers, awaiting instructions for the much-anticipated event set to commence at 9:00 A.M. Periodically, the clamor of work trucks, in a hasty endeavor to deposit massive loads of granite rocks near the water’s edge for urgent repairs, momentarily eclipsed conversation and forced a few Jaguars to migrate to safety. Greg Wells (Jaguar Journal) and Tony Martin (JSSC), our valiant volunteers, hovered near Darryl Beech (JSSC), the rally organizer, testing timekeepers on their smartphones and scrutinizing the rally route. While this writer made two frenzied trips to…

Member Spotlight

Tom and Amy Van Doorn’s Jaguar journey began in 1984 in Greenville, South Carolina, when Mark Lovello presided over the local Jaguar club. It was a time when the JCNA was just a glimmer on the horizon, but their passion for British cars was already ignited. A chance encounter with a black 1967 E-Type in a dealership showroom would set the stage for over 50 years of connection to Jaguars. A JAGUAR LEGACY The family’s love for their E-Type spans generations. From Tom’s mother, Connie, spotting it in 1968 to the friendly bet that secured its place in their lives, the car became a cherished family member. Tom’s father, Don, was nearly six and a half feet tall and took a bet that he would fit in the car with…

New Regional Directors

SOUTHEASTERN REGION I have been a car enthusiast for my entire life. In the early 1960s, I became enamored with a Jaguar XK 150 that was owned by a neighbor. Thus began my love of Jaguars and my desire to eventually have one (or more) of my own. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND I am a retired orthopedic surgeon and I practiced for 40 years in the Pittsburgh area. During my career, I held numerous leadership positions including Chief of Orthopedic Surgery, Chief of Surgery, and president of the medical staff at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in McKeesport, Pa. For the past 20+ years, I have served on the Board of Directors of Auberle, a large, non-profit social service agency focused on under-served children and families in crisis in the Pittsburgh…
