C,D and SS register

Because of the proliferation of high quality replicas, and the disinclination of some owners to make their replica status clear, the American Classic Jaguar Association has set up a Register of C, D and XK-SS Jaguars. Administered by Terry Larson, the Register will list all genuine cars with a continuous history, recording all repairs and component replacements. This should put the brakes on the deliberate misrepresentation of cars, and weed out those “clones” which masquerade under duplicated chassis numbers. Larsen warns that any C or D whose history goes “cold” in the Eighties should be carefully checked. With a thorough listing in hand, honest replica owners can continue to enjoy their cars without the risk of any ill-feeling arising. Terry Larsen would welcome any relevant C, D or SS information.

Southern E-Type day

The International E-Type Register, of the Jaguar Drivers’ Club, will be holding Southern E-Type Day and Lunch on June 11th. This year the break is being made from the more traditional, if static, Stately Home setting to the Prescott Hill Climb course — near Cheltenham, Glos. Well over 100 E-Types are expected to attend, and they will be entitled to ‘cavalacades’ up the 1,127 yard Long Course.

Entry to the Event will be £5 per car. E-Types participating in the ‘cavalcades’, which will run from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm will be charged £10 for as many drives on the Hill as possible to fit in. There is no timing, or contest, and BOC marshals will be present to ensure there is no ‘unsocial’ driving. All drivers will have to sign an indemnity form at the Register Events Unit.

What should be an active Day out among E-Types, and other Jaguars, is supported by spares traders, specialist demonstrations and classes for Concours. And there is the Bugatti Owners’ Club museum to wander round, play area for children.

There will be a professionally catered lunch costing £12.00 per person at the Restaurant, tickets, which must be booked well in advance, can be obtained from the Register’s Secretary: Petronel Payne, Stable Yard, Longwood Estate, Owslebury, Winchester, Hants, S021 1LB. Tel/fax 01962 777321.
