The Jaguar Breakfast Club never ceases to amaze. Whereas wind and rain would keep many people at home, one hundred Jaguars made the journey to the British Motor Museum for our January gathering, some having travelled sizeable distances.

The February Jaguar Breakfast Club saw over 200 Jaguars! Such an astonishing turnout on a dry February day resulted in a busy social occasion, meeting old friends and making new ones.

There were upwards of 250 Jaguars at the March Breakfast Club. It was a chilly but dry morning, although someone must have forgotten to remind classic Jaguar owners that it was still winter, because so many arrived that you would have thought it was high summer!

The Jaguar Breakfast Club celebrated two anniversaries for the 1st April meeting. The gathering marked seven years of the monthly Breakfast Club held at the British Motor Museum since April 2016. Added to this was our tribute to the F-Type following ten years of production.

The Jaguar Breakfast Club, in cooperation with the Jaguar Drivers’ Club arranged an excellent visit to the Great British Car Journey on Sunday 30th April. This car museum, located on the banks of the River Derwent in Derbyshire, is a delightful treasure trove of British motoring nostalgia, displaying a rotating selection of 130 cars from the 1920s to 1990s, some of them in showroom condition and others very much “lived in”.

The annual ‘Supercharged Saturday’ event took place under supercharged blue skies attracting almost 600 Jaguars to the British Motor Museum. Over 350 supercharged models were arranged in model groups and supplemented by at least 200 naturally aspirated Jaguars, so even the view from the ‘cheap seats’ wasn’t half bad!

Jaguar Breakfast Club supporters received a prime display area at the excellent “Simply Jaguar” event, Beaulieu. This huge show featured around one thousand Jaguars and attracts visitors from far and wide – and that’s why we had an official presence there, to spread the word and make our regular meeting even bigger and better!

JBC returned to the British Motor Museum for a JBC first – a mid-month gathering! They said “There will be rain!”. But, there wasn’t (at least not during the main event).

A conventional Breakfast Club on an unconventional day… a JBC first, a mid-week meet. Thursday 15th July 2023!

Jaguars at Gaydon took place on 2nd September at the British Motor Museum. This is an annual event gifted to the Jaguar community by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, this year and attracted around 700 Jaguars and Daimlers to an action-packed show – making for a rather fantastic extension to a standard Jaguar Breakfast meeting!

The October Jaguar Breakfast Club was an especially privileged event at the invitation of Jaguar Classic to visit Classic Works, Coventry, where all those wonderful recreations of C-types, D-types and more are built.

A perfect world would be one where the sun always shone at Jaguar events, but for the November Breakfast Club we suffered a hiccup to this utopia. It rained! The early deluge did subside through the morning, although, unsurprisingly, only the hardy set out for Gaydon and we expected a low turnout.

The final event of the year saw an ethereal atmosphere of freezing fog and sub-zero temperatures, which apparently only strengthened the resolve of indomitable Jaguar owners to attend, with over one hundred cars arriving through the icy mists.
