We have been involved with the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and other organisations now for many years, however when the JEC started up a new region on our doorstep we felt that it was right to lend our support in whatever way we could and friends and customers encouraged us to come to the first Somerset Region meeting at the Ashcott Inn in October 2018. So just before Christmas we were ask if we would be interested in hosting an open day in the spring of 2019. This then was how our…
Mods & Rockers Back in the day you either rode a scooter or motorbike, you liked Ska, Two-tone or Rock and Roll, contrasting ends of the same spectrum.

We are very proud of our Jaguar Summer Festival 2018 at Wroxall Abbey. What better way to enjoy the event with a video recap. OVERSTEER PHOTOGRAPHY With so much going on, we were bound to miss something so we asked Oversteer Photography to come and take some video of the day for us.

Notable absentee was championship stalwart Adam Powderham who, due to business commitments, missed his first race in 6 years but attended as a spectator. Having missed the first 2 rounds…

Brands Hatch Rounds 15- 16 Race Report: Ramms Hatch? As we sank deeper into the season the cars development had increased and so had driver ability across all teams on the grid, this said nothing would prepare us for the freezing cold temps and heavy rain we would see across the weekend making it difficult for everyone to find their groove in this November race. Testing saw our old team mate Richard Knott joining us to get back in the swing of things before his return to the championship next season…
Japanese Imports The stigma.. JDM or (Japanese Domestic Market) cars are available through auctions daily with approximately 80,000 cars a week sold. These completely rust free Japanese imports are particularly hand plucked from the land of the rising sun for their placement all their life in the lower sunny prefectures of the country, meaning the climate is warm and very dry dry however not too intense an environment for the car to live, additionally the cars have not seen snow and more importantly there is no grit normally seen on the…
