Summertime … 2013-14 Leadership Vice President / Editor Wayne Miller Floyds Knobs, Indiana CatScan Some clubs meet for a rally drive, have lunch, talk cars, and go home. Other clubs emphasize track days, or possibly racing. Our club, the Jaguar Drivers’ Club, Area 51 (JDC51) tends toward road trips to interesting and fun places combined with fine dining and excellent camaraderie. Sure, we do love a good Concours and an occasional technical session, but we are social drivers first and foremost. At our social events, car shows, Concours, track days, and tech sessions, we make new friends, learn new things, and have experiences that create lifetime memories. I thought I knew a lot about cars when I joined JDC51. But through the club I became exposed to new ways to look at cars in general and Jaguars in particular. Other members bring a broad spectrum of experiences and ideas about old and new Jaguars, fun things to do, and fun places to go. I have become more of a fan of the marque, if that is possible. April of 2013 brought two new and thoroughly enjoyable events: a first-time trip to a Saddlebred horse farm, then an early morning trip to Lexington and Three Chimneys Farm for the introduction of the Jaguar F-Type, followed by the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event sponsored by Land Rover, the other half of Jaguar Land Rover USA. Once again, Bill and Sue Hall organized and provided splendid vision and leadership for the Saddlehorse farm trip, followed by the short drive to Claudia Sanders’ Dinner House for a delightful luncheon. A week later, Greg Huelsman pulled the club together for a splendid turnout to see, and hear, the delicious and exotic Jaguar F-Type. Zowie! While April was a transitional month, May began the process of Concours preparation, with Bill Long’s JCNA Judging School on the 11th followed by Ann and Roger Lawson’s sponsorship of a road trip to Elizabethtown airport, the Swope Auto Museum, and Tony York’s on Main, all on the 18th. Next up was the Concours d’Élégance on June 1st, our biggest event of the year. Details follow! I hope to see you and your Jaguars at the September 4th dinner meeting. Come early and let’s visit.

We arrived Friday afternoon and checked into the host hotel. In the evening we toured Cowboy Stadium and then dined at a nearby country club with other JCNA folks. car, the F-Type. It was nifty looking, but rather blocky compared to the sleek 1966 E-Type sitting next to it. One clever thing about the F-type is that the top serves as its own cover when folded – very compact and lightweight. On Saturday morning the Annual General Meeting began at 8:00 a.m. and we were there! About 60 delegates attended, representing 64 different Jaguar Clubs. We attended the dinner and awards banquet, sitting at a table with some nice folks from Dallas. However, Wayne’s lunch did not agree with him so he went to bed while Judy stayed to ‘represent the club’. The awards ceremony followed dinner, and we won the coveted “Came all the way from Floyds Knobs” award. Wayne felt fine the next morning, so we lay around the hotel 'til noon, and then went to visit relatives in Richardson. We spent the day (and night) with them, heading for home on Monday morning. We took a big detour around the closed section of I40 between Little Rock and Memphis, and saw a part of Arkansas (rice fields, I think) that neither of us has seen before, and the driving was easy and pleasant. Hardly any traffic, too. We voted on changes to the bylaws and to the Concours rules and the slalom rules. Judy was a delegate too (2 votes per club). The big item of contention concerned the number of judges a club must have (in its membership) in order to hold a Concours. Presently the number is five (5), but the people concerned with the increasing number of Perfect Scores proposed that increasing the number to eight (8) would somehow solve the problem. Well sir, there was spirited discussion, with some small clubs saying they couldn’t meet those numbers, and others who thought that the proposed solution was not optimal, or even ‘good’. It was Cold and Windy the whole trip. Snow flurries between Nashville and Louisville. Arrived home about 5pm Tuesday, where it was Cold but not Windy. The ensuing voting was also spirited, and was repeated several times in order to account for the delegates who also held proxies. It was not clear to us whether this grand idea passed or failed, so watch your Jaguar Journal for the result! The Jaguar ran fine – except for a dragging rear brake. I saw another Jag just like mine, same color, same year, in the AGM hotel parking lot. Lucky people! Judy and Wayne Miller The meeting broke for lunch at noon, reconvened about 12:45 p.m., and ended at 2:30 p.m. There were some seminars but we took a nap. At 6:00 p.m. a cocktail hour featured a showing of the new Jaguar sports 8 AGM Report Selections from Bob Matejek, NC Regional Director By Bob Matejek, JAGM … Saturday was the AGM. At the BOD meeting, the discussion was very involved as to whether the regional Directors and Chief Judges would be required to have e-mail communication capabilities. It flew through on Saturday. Members at Large (MAL) are eligible for a regional award in the region where they live or the region that they choose when they become a MAL. The minimum number of certified judges in a club, required to get sanctioning is being increased from 5 to 8 in 2014. The average among all clubs is around 15. Gary Kincel was re-elected as NC Regional Director for the coming 2 years. Dick Maury and George Camp were re-elected as President and Vice President of JCNA for the coming year. Judges can be borrowed from other clubs. The goal is to improve the overall judging standards. This proposal passed to increase the number of certified judges to 8. The Andrew Whyte Service Award was presented to George Camp of the Jaguar Society of South Carolina. Protests will be accepted within 30 days after receipt of the score sheet rather than 45 days after the event. With great efforts to control the income and expenses of JCNA, the national club operated through 2012 in the black, prior to the dues increase coming in for 2013. The dues increase is still needed to replace the reserves that were spent over the past few years. The Fred Horner Sportsmanship Award was presented to Cameron Sheahan and Carolyn Arnquist of Jaguar Owners Club of Oregon for participating in 11 sanctioned JCNA car events. A new Concours Class #22 was added for the new F Type. A proposal will be presented at the Fall BOD meeting to reduce the number of classes by combining some classes together. The Dealership of the Year was presented to Royal Jaguar Land Rover of Tucson. There were numerous Concours revisions, mostly editorial to move sections to different locations. JCNA Club Web Site Excellence awards were presented to Jaguar Club of Southern Arizona, Maggie Secker, Webmaster and North Georgia Club, Dick Maury, Webmaster. Discussion Item Championship first place ties will be settled with the total accumulated score after the top three scores. This will encourage more participation and less gaming for trophies. This was only a discussion item. The Karen Miller Newsletter Editor Award was presented to Irene Eve Chudzik with JAGMAG of the Jaguar Club of Ohio. Stay tuned for next year. Saturday afternoon, there were seminars on Running a Rally, Cooling your Old Jag, Preparing your Car for a Concours, and Club Newsletters. It was clarified that grill badges are not allowed on Championship Cars except on badge bars. They are not original equipment from the factory as the Championship Cars are supposed to represent, and there is no Jaguar Cars part number to them. Bob Matejek, JAGM, NC Regional Director AGM Report Selections from Dennis Eklof, JANE By Dennis Eklof, JANE (Jaguar Association of New England) Delegate Gus Niewenhous and I were JANE’s delegates to the 2013 JCNA AGM in Dallas on March 22 and 23. This article will not go into gory details on all the resolutions that were passed. Rather, the intent here is to capture the highlights and tragedies of the weekend. afternoon when he suffered a severe stroke. He was life-flighted from the hotel to a hospital. The sad events of his being stricken certainly cast a pall over the meeting for the entire Dallas club and for all the attendees. Unfortunately, subsequent events were even worse -- Tom passed away on Sunday morning. We all offer our condolences to his family and the entire Dallas club. I want to first start with the tragedies. The President of the Dallas host club, Tom McGrath, was helping with the registration desk on Thursday 9 The Dallas club deserves a lot of kudos for stepping into the void left when the Mexico City event was canceled last August. Despite the limited preparation time, and the trauma of Tom’s stroke, the Dallas folks put on a first class event. Our hats go off to them for their efforts. There has always been confusion over pin striping, and this is one area where local interpretation has been widespread. The new judging guide has a detailed table on what is considered by JCNA to be authentic. My Main Takeaways The rules regarding modifications required to enter a car in S3 class were tightened. This was in response to incidents in the past where superficially modified cars were entered in the Special classes to avoid the more intense competition in the Champion and Driven classes. There are lots of details below about the specifics of the meeting in the subsequent sections, but for me the main takeaways from the AGM were: Given the profusion of permanently installed navigation systems in newer cars, and the falling prices of aftermarket GPS systems and smart phones with navigation, GPS devices will now be allowed in JCNAsanctioned rallies. Limited attendance: There were only 56 delegates present out of an eligible 126 from the 63 JCNA clubs. In all fairness to the Dallas club, they had little time to plan and promote the event, but it is nonetheless a wake-up call for our 2014 JCNA planning, and a signal that much attention is needed on a national level to increase club participation. JCNA is turning serious attention to membership programs and to Concours judging inconsistencies. It is certainly needed and welcome in both areas. JANE is now the largest club in JCNA, and we can all be proud of being part of making JANE such an active, successful, and most importantly, fun club while many other JCNA clubs are struggling. In a modest move toward the 21st century, JCNA Directors must now be active email users. While JCNA membership increased modestly in 2012, it had declined significantly for several years through 2011, so there is an ongoing concern over membership. The recent strengthening of the JCNA Membership Committee and JANE member Ed Avis’s addition to the Passport to Service program (see awards section below) are moves in the right direction. JANE is fortunate to be growing, and we are now clearly the largest club in North America. Friday Social Event Some clubs seem to have opened their membership to individuals who are not required to be JCNA members. This is now explicitly prohibited in the JCNA bylaws. The Friday social evening was a tour of Cowboys Stadium, and one had to be impressed with its vast size and opulent clubs and other facilities. Our tour guide said we had walked about 1 ½ miles during the tour. Saturday Awards Banquet Following the tour we were treated to a Tex-Mex buffet at a nearby country club. You can find some photos on the JANE website. The awards banquet featured three speakers and the traditional awards ceremony. Saturday Business Meeting Saturday featured the usual business meeting, with about 56 club delegates and 13 JCNA officials debating and voting on various issues facing JCNA and its member clubs. Details of the resolutions can be found in an attachment to the Event Report on the JANE website. However, here are a few highlights: The first speaker was a representative of the Virginia club describing the upcoming 2013 JCNA Challenge Championship they are hosting June 1216 at the Wyndham Virginia Crossing Hotel (the same facility was used for the 2011 JCNA AGM). This looks like a very nice event and is really an easy drive from the Boston area. We hope some of our JANE members will attend. You can see more information about the event at http://www.jcna2013cc.com. There is a serious concern at the national level about the inconsistency in Concours judging standards across the various clubs. It would seem that for some clubs the scoring in Champion Division revolves around where in the 99’s your car will fall. There were discussions and proposals on how to break multiple 100-point ties for national awards. In contrast, I have been around JANE Concours for a decade, and I can recall only two 100-point cars in that entire period. While no clear-cut solution has been found, some constructive resolutions were passed: I was the second speaker, though I did not speak for long. My purpose was to pitch the 2014 AGM that we are hosting, and I was greatly aided in that endeavor by an absolutely fabulous video presentation that Mike Axford and I developed. We owe Mike many kudos for a really first class job shooting the video and producing the end result. You can see it on YouTube at http://youtu.be/siu7Rdi1sv8 or by going to the JANE website and clicking on the flying banner at the top of the home page. Try it – it’s really cool. Beginning with the 2014 season, for a local club to receive a JCNA Concours sanction, they must have eight certified judges as active members on their roster. The previous requirement was five judges. Many of the smaller clubs opposed this resolution on the basis that they borrowed judges from neighboring clubs. However, the majority of the delegates agreed that this increased requirement for judges training programs would help deal with the judging inconsistencies. While the existence of a JCNA judging guide implies that the rules should be strictly applied in all Concours, there have been documented instances where local clubs have chosen to “interpret” the rules to suit their own situations. A clause was added to the rulebook to explicitly prohibit such local deviations. The final speaker was Fred Hammond, who is the Jaguar Cars of North America liaison for JCNA. Fred filled us in on some of the highlights of Jaguar sales in 2012 and plans for release of new models and new power trains. You can find a link to a copy of his speech on the Event Report about the AGM on the JANE website. JANE received only two awards at the banquet. The first was a Third Place newsletter article award that went to Tracey Levasseur for her three-part series “What Is a Concours.” Congratulations Tracey! The second award went to Ed Avis. JCNA President Dick Maury gave a special Presidential Award to Ed Avis for his work on the JCNA Passport to Service program, citing Ed’s extraordinary contribution to revitalizing this important membership-oriented program. As many of you know, Ed has done a fantastic job as Membership VP for JANE, and he has 10 Dennis Eklof obviously carried over his enthusiasm and skills to the JCNA stage. Congratulations Ed! AGM Report from JCNA By Jerry Litz & Mike Meyer, AGM Delegates, Jaguar Club of Ohio AGM delegates at work, The AGM was held in Dallas and hosted by the Jaguar Drivers Club of North Texas and Jaguar Owners Association of the Southwest. The meeting started at 8 a.m. with opening remarks and a brief state of the JCNA report by JCNA president Dick Maury. In general, JCNA is financially sound and has remained steady at approximately 5,500 members. Also, a new club has been formed in New Mexico. Dick advised that an Electronic Media Committee had been formed and a President’s Award has been created. people to donate Jaguar cars, memorabilia and the such in a manner that provides the donor a tax benefit. The location and details of the trust are to be worked out by the board. The delegates voted to approve the proposal. Then we began work on the agenda items. The complete agenda is available on the JCNA website for those who are interested. This report will only focus on the highlights. The agenda started off with four Discussion items. One of the items had to do with 1st Place ties in the various classes. It was noted that there are an increasing number of perfect scores by the end of the Concours season and it was suggested that a tie breaker be instituted. A score totaling and averaging proposal was presented as a method to break ties at the national awards level. After much discussion, the general consensus was that better educated judges and additional judges training would be a better way to handle the matter. The Electronic Media Committee will be responsible for revamping the JCNA website as well as improving the club’s presence on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. The President’s Award will be given to the person that, in the president’s opinion, has made an outstanding contribution to the club in the previous year. In addition, Dick put forth a board proposal to create a nonprofit trust to be operated by JCNA . The purpose of the trust is to provide a way for 11 New Business included thirteen items involving corporate and bylaw policy changes as well as rule change proposals. For the most part these changes were what could be best characterized as “housekeeping”. However there were several new business items which should be noted. into consideration when a club requests sponsorship. Lastly, Fred announced that Jaguar is looking for XK120s, “C”, “D” and E-types for use in its marketing displays around the country He asked that members willing to loan out cars contact him. In return, those loaning the cars would be invited to participate in the events. Under the JCNA Administrator items, clubs were reminded of the importance of keeping club addresses and contact information up to date. Clubs were also urged to activate the PayPal dues payment option for new members on their club home pages on the JCNA website. There is evidence that doing so helps pull in new members. Once payment is made, JCNA sends the local club a check for their portion of the dues. Elections for President and Vice President were held. Dick Maury was elected President and George Camp was elected Vice President. Closing remarks were made by various board and committee members and the meeting adjourned at 3 p.m. During the course of the two day AGM a number of seminars were held. Under the JCRC Proposals there were a number of rule changes put forth. Most of these were clarifications and minor revisions. One change that generated a lot of discussion concerned the number of Certified Judges that a JCNA President Dick Maury picks club needs to obtain a up a website award from Deanie Kennedy. Concours sanction. Currently 5 or more Certified Judges are required. By a very close vote, this was changed to 8 or more with the rule taking effect in 2013. The reasoning behind the change relates to the tie breaker discussion held earlier. It was felt that having more Certified Judges in each club will help improve the quality and diversity of judging and reduce the number of ties. During the discussion, the JCRC chairman reminded clubs of the importance of the Judge Training Program. One of the more interesting was titled “Growing Your Club Through Social Media”. It was presented by a marketing director for Dr. Pepper. If you thought social media was a passing fad, this Jerry Litz, at left, admires the elegant hotel presentation will lobby accoutrements. convince you otherwise. The statistics, market info and technology associated with social media are overwhelming and in some cases, especially regarding privacy, scary. There is no question that, like it or not, use of social media by the clubs will be key to bringing in new and younger members. There was also a very informative seminar about Club Newsletters. Other significant rule changes concern pinstripes and XK engine cylinder head colors. New charts have been created for both and are effective this year. Of note is that painted pinstripes are now deemed non-authentic. Also, the rule was changed concerning the amount of time allowed to file protests. Rally Committee proposals include rule changes regarding the use of GPS devices. In a nut shell if the GPS is “on-board” that is factory installed, its use is permitted. Slalom Committee proposals were “housekeeping.” Representatives for the Challenge Championship to be held in Richmond, Virginia this summer, the 2014 AGM to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, 2014 Western States event (location to be determined), and the 2015 AGM to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania presented updates for their respective events. The rest of the meeting was devoted to the nineteen Committee Reports. These included, Jaguar Cars and JCNA Liaison Reports, JCNA Financial Report, Membership Report, Publications/Trophy/Regalia Report, Business/Insurance Report, Legal Counsel Report, and Jaguar Journal Report, to name a few. Fred Hammond presented the Jaguar Cars Liaison report. In his report he noted that sales for both Jaguar and Land Rover are improving and a number of new Jaguar models are in the works. He feels the future of Jaguar is very promising. Fred also pointed out that while Jaguar is willing to assist JCNA and its members, Jaguar expects the clubs to make it worthwhile. This includes maintaining a list of contacts on both the JCNA and club websites. They also want to clubs to improve the quality of their websites and be involved in social media. Jaguar takes all the above 12 2014 AGM to Cambridge: Plans Moving Forward By Dennis Eklof, Jaguar Association of New England (JANE) As most of you undoubtedly already know, JANE is hosting the JCNA Annual General Meeting on the weekend of April 4, 2014. This is a huge undertaking for our club, but I am happy to report that we are moving ahead aggressively with the event planning. As chairperson of the planning committee I have a great group of contributors who are energetically moving forward with planning. The main features of the event are already finalized: the evening, but we will keep you posted. As with Friday evening, the banquet is open to all JANE members. The final event of the weekend will be a Sunday breakfast at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. While the Museum is not sufficiently large to handle the 200+ attendees we anticipate on Friday night, we couldn’t have the national meeting here without tying in such a unique treasure as LAAM. All JANE members are also welcome at this Sunday morning event. If you want to stay up-to-date on what’s going on surrounding this meeting, go to the JANE website. There you can sign up to get email updates by clicking the 2014 AGM Info link, and you can read the notes from all of our planning meetings by clicking the JCNA AGM 2014 Planning Notes link. As the year passes, we will need more and more volunteers to make all this happen, so give me a shout and join our group! The main venue will be the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Memorial Drive in Cambridge. It will be a terrific venue for the event, with fine meeting and banquet spaces, space for us to display over 20 cars, and newly renovated guest rooms. The Friday social event will feature an evening at the MIT Museum, a short bus ride from the hotel. We will be adding some directly car-related aspects to the already fine museum displays representing MIT’s engineering excellence in robotics, holograms, and other fascinating engineering marvels. We also plan a fine spread of food and, of course, a cash bar. The event will be open to all JANE members and will be an excellent opportunity to see a new aspect of our area’s culture, as well as meet Jag lovers from around the country. Put April 4th on your calendar! During most of Saturday, the delegates to the meeting will be tied up with discussing and voting on various rule changes that will govern JCNA events in 2014, but we plan to go all out in organizing a variety of optional area activities for non-delegate attendees. Saturday evening there will be a cocktail reception and the annual Awards Banquet. This is always a fun evening and another opportunity to get to know JCNA members from across North America. We are still working on selecting the main guest speaker for Speaking of the group, I need to thank the members of the AGM Planning Committee for the great job they are all doing toward making this major event a resounding success.

And that’s what we did. Here are our photos from the trip: you can fill in the commentary ! Walter and Helen Kindler 14 15 16 As you can tell, we had a really good time ! Walter and Helen 2013 Challenge Championship: a Pride of Jaguar in Richmond By Ian Callum Editor’s Note: The following is an article written by Ian Callum, Jaguar Design Director, and posted to Jaguar Blog at the Interactive Jaguar website, where you also can view a video about Jaguar at the 2013 JCNA Challenge Championship, at www.interactivejaguar.com. At Jaguar, we really embrace our heritage, so it was important for me to be a part of this year’s Jaguar Clubs of North America Challenge Championship in Richmond, Virginia. It’s the key annual gathering of all the Jaguar enthusiast clubs in America. Five days of enjoying classic Jaguar cars on the road, the track and Concours field. I was the guest speaker at the awards dinner and was able to present one of the top honors of the night; the ‘Best Design’ award. Everyone I spoke to - and I spoke to a lot of really passionate owners - I tried to pass on the message that Jaguar, today, is one company with one story. The core values we put into our cars now - design, performance, agility and glamour - are the same as they were 50 years ago when Sir William Lyons was running the company. We really want the enthusiasts who own our classics, like the members of the Jaguar Clubs of North America (JCNA), to become our brand ambassadors. We want someone who maybe owns an E-Type to consider driving a new F-TYPE; someone who loves their classic XJ to consider driving a new XF or XJ. Anyone with an XK120 or XK140 should look closely at our latest XK models. 17 To encourage this, we took along a line-up of our latest performance models to Richmond. Two supercharged V6 F-TYPE cars, an XKR-S GT, an XFRS, as well as the XF and a long-wheelbase XJ. As you’d expect, we gave non-stop hot laps in the FTYPE cars during the slalom part of the event at Richmond International Raceway. The response to the F-TYPE was remarkable. People kept telling me how great it was for Jaguar to be back to building a pure two-seat roadster; a car that looked so great, performed so well, and sounded so sensational. I know a few orders were taken by the local dealers during the weekend. One of my duties was to present an award for the ‘Best Design’ of the show. It was the first time the award had been given and we created this very beautiful glass trophy especially for it. My single objective was to pick a car that simply looked great. It was a tough decision, especially with all the E-Type models that were there, along with some of my favorite Jaguar cars, like the gorgeous XJC Coupe, and extremely rare XJR-15, a car that I’d worked on in a former life. In the end, it was hard not to recognize Dr. David North’s 1936 Saoutchik-bodied SS100 roadster, at right. This was truly a wonderful car. I find American classic car events like this to be very different from similar European ones. Americans seem to be a little less precious about originality; they’re happy to modify their E-Type models to make them drive better, or look the way they want them. I have to say that I find that very appealing. I recently bought a 1961 Mk2 Jaguar sedan that I’m having completely rebuilt to my specification. The details are secret for the time being, but as a hint of what I’m doing, there’s a big 4.2-liter engine going under the bonnet. Certainly throughout the Jaguar organization these days, our passion for our heritage is becoming much stronger and very genuine. That enthusiasm is coming right from the top, from our CEO, Dr. Ralf Speth, who incidentally owns a rather beautiful Series 1 E-Type Roadster. Thank you to everyone at JCNA for inviting me, and for putting on such a terrific event.

This Saturday we will celebrate our first official Cars and Coffee for Dystonia for 2013! Events Report: Bill Hall updated club members on upcoming events and meetings including the Dayton Trip on August 24th. For those of you that are new to our event, Cars and Coffee for Dystonia was started 3 years ago by 17-year old Jacob Spielberg of Prospect. At age 8 Jacob was diagnosed with an neurological disease called Dystonia for which there is no cure. Jacob traveled for medical treatments over the years to help his debilitating disease and then finally being lucky enough to receive a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. Jacob has "brain pacemakers" that help interfere with his genetic form of dystonia. When Jacob was sick and in a wheel chair getting his treatments, he always wanted to go look at all the cool cars, no matter where he was. The foundation that connected Jacob with the best doctors and treatments for his disease is the Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia and Parkinson foundation. While Jacob spent many years recovering from his DBS and is now living the very normal life of teenage boy. About 3 years ago Jacob decided to create a fundraiser to combine his love for cars with a fundraiser event as a way to give back to the foundation that has not only helped Jacob but so many other patients with Dystonia and Parkinson’s. As a matter of fact, this past year, the foundation opened their first Dystonia Center of Excellence in New York, with more plans to help so many other patients like Jacob. Membership Report: Greg Huelsman mentioned that the Cars & Coffee event will be held next Saturday at Captain’s Quarters. He then introduced Tom and Connie Jones of the Lexington Concours. Tom Jones spoke describing the Lexington Concours and encouraging members to turn out in Lexington for the Car Club Paddock Challenge, a fund-raising effort in support of the Kentucky Children’s Hospital.

While the weather was wet and the turnout small, a good time was reported by all participants Respectfully submitted, Harold Leggett for Sue A. Hall, Secretary Thanks to all of your support over the past 3 years, Cars and Coffee has raised more than $10,000 to help fund a cure for Dystonia.

Thanks, Louisville Cars and Coffee From the Louisville Cars & Coffee organization: 21 Events and Outings Spring Fling Saddlebred Horse Farm Tour Jaguar Drivers’ Club Road Trip Saturday, April 20th, 2013 By Bill Hall, Activities Chair Shelby County, Kentucky is “The American Saddlebred Capital of the World,” because it is the home of many of the country’s most outstanding American Saddlebred breeding and training facilities. We visited one particular horse farm, Undulata, which was once owned by one of the founders of the breed. Typically see we will see a horse worked, walk through the barns, and a foal and mare. Tours are conducted at an actual working horse farm, these are not typical attractions. Stepping back in time on a hands-on tour of a working Saddlebred Farm and stepping into the arena during a training session was quite a thrill. Talking with an owner and a trainer. Watching these distinctly skilled and beautiful show horses as they’re worked. Walking through the barns. In the spring and summer, petting a new foal. And taking lots of pictures – seeing this “jewel of a breed” up-close is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Following the farm tour, we adjourned for lunch to the Science Hill Inn in Shelbyville, Kentucky Science Hill’s history as an outstanding preparatory school ran from 1825 until 1939. The name “Science Hill” derives from the fact the original school focused on math & science, and was not just a finishing school. Many girls later graduated from Wellesley College. The eastern portion of the property was purchased by the gentlemen Wakefield and Scearce and turned into galleries and shops. Today Science Hill is best known for its dining room - a restaurant in the finest Kentucky tradition. May we offer you the warmth of the hearth and the best of the kitchen with the hope you will return often. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 F-Type Unveiling at Three Chimneys Farm, Midway Saturday, April 27th, 2013 By Greg Huelsman, Membership Chair, photos by Greg Huelsman, Tony Baily, and Harold Leggett Elizabeth appears to be tweaking Walt’s nose ..

The airport operates under Federal and State regulations. Anne and Roger Lawson operate the airport, and are the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at EKX. Swope’s Cars of Yesteryear Museum The Swope's Cars of Yesteryear Museum features vehicles ranging from the early 1900's to the 1960's in a variety of makes and models in both original condition and restored condition. After years of planning and nine months of construction, Swope’s Cars of Yesteryear opened in May 1999. The collection consists of sixty magnificent machines of the past, all museum quality. These are exciting automobiles that stir memories of long ago days when motoring was a fun-filled adventure. 44 The museum allows car fans and collectors to admire the progression of automobiles over time. The Swope collection includes antique cars like the 1914 Model T and the 1925 Pierce Arrow to classics like the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1956 Thunderbird. Tony York’s on Main Glendale Kentucky’s fine dining destination! Can’t make up your mind on what to select? Well neither can we, so our menu changes daily. Our menu ranges from delicious gourmet salad to amazing surf and turf. Tony York’s on Main in historic Glendale uses only fresh ingredients and the menu changes daily based on what is in season and the chef’s inspiration. So a trip to Tony York's on Main -- which is both elegant and unpretentious -- is different every time you visit. Tony York’s serves up Kentucky-inspired dishes that are “kicked up a notch,” as Emeril Lagasee would say. Recent menus featured blackened shrimp with grits, ahi tuna, and prime rib with caramelized onions, meatloaf, chicken livers, fish and chips, southern fried chicken and the German favorite, Jaeger schnitzel. There are also vegetarian and even vegan meals available by special request. The selection may seem limited for those with an Appleby’s appetite, but there are plenty of choices for those that prefer more of a culinary experience. There is typically four to six hors d’oueuvers, two soups and two to three salads from which to choose for lunch and dinner, as well as several entrees. For dinner, the best bet is the five-course dinner, which includes an appetizer, soup, salad, entrée and dessert for just $40. 45 46 47 48 49 2013 Jaguar Clubs of North America Judging School & Concours Training Saturday May 11, 2013 By William A.

The F-type will be offered in three different versions: all with rear-wheel drive, all with supercharged engines, and all sporting an eight-speed automatic transmission. And all of them share the same mission: to make Jaguar once again a relevant contender in the world of performance sports cars. Initially, there will be three powertrains for the roadster (a coupe version and a manual transmission will follow soon): V-6: $69,895; the “entry-level” Ftype offers a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that makes 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Jaguar estimates it 2014 Jaguar F-type V8 S and V6 S roadsters will do 0–60 in 5.1 seconds and top out at 161 mph. A sport suspension, 18-inch wheels, and a regular rear differential are all standard, as are steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. A Meridian 380-watt audio system with 10 speakers is standard as well. 69 Jaguar Auction Results SCM April 2013 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale: January 13-20, 2013, Scottsdale, AZ USA roofliner, seats and carpeting. Instruments done to same standards. Stunning wood accents and supple leather shift boot round out the interior. Show-detailed engine bay and undercarriage confirm the car as truly concours-ready. Cond: 1-. SOLD AT $132,000. Coupes of this vintage are now finally starting to get their due at auction, as in some cases they are even more scarce than their convertible counterparts. This stately feline ticked all of the boxes for bidders and sold for fair money. #366-1968 JAGUAR XKE 2+2 coupe. S/N J681E78156BW. Yellow/black leather. Odo: 8,480 miles. Numerous hood edge chips and micro-pitting and dull areas in bright trim on both sides. Heavy pitting on knockoff hubs. Taillight trim dented. Scratches on front and rear glass. Both door gaps variable. Cond: 2-. SOLD AT $24,200. Called a 2+2, but really a 2+¾ if you ask me, as the rear seat is too small for humans. The automatic trans might have let it down a bit as well, but I say this is fair to both parties. #107-1954 JAGUAR XK 140 MC roadster. S/N S810337. Red/tan cloth/tan leather. Odo: 3,204 miles. Gorgeous older restoration with great attention to detail. Excellent paint with buffing marks evident. Very slight door gap issues with fit probably to original factory standards. Hood fit slightly off. Also some buffing marks in the chrome bumpers. Interior excellent, with slight age cracks in seats and minor wear to carpeting. Excellent trim and instrumentation. Perfect gauges and controls. Spotless engine bay detailed for any JCNA event. Equally spotless underside. Cond: 2-. Gooding & Company Scottsdale: January 18-19, 2013, Scottsdale, AZ USA SOLD AT $126,500. This was an appealing color combination, and it was good enough to overlook the very minor issues. Sold within estimate after very slow-paced bidding between two determined-but-cautious bidders. A fair deal for all. #47-1952 JAGUAR XK 120 coupe. S/N 679724. Silver/gray leather. Odo: 568 miles. Elegant little Jaguar restored to concours condition. Paintwork the very best with equal attention paid to prep and panel fit. Minor soiling of wheels and slightly hazy headlamps are the only two negatives noted on exterior. Equally well-restored interior with new 70 RM Auctions, January 18, 2013, Phoenix, AZ USA #181-1974 JAGUAR XKE Series III convertible. S/N UE1S25119. Silver/ black cloth/red leather. Odo: 4,495 miles. Miles are actual with long-term, very limited-use ownership. Other than a respray, an original, time-warp car. Very nice original leather interior. Brightwork acceptable. Equipped with a/c and wires. Cond: 3+. #166-1953 JAGUAR XK 120 roadster. S/N 673913. Eng. # W8212B. Ivory White/ black cloth/black leather. Odo: 49,189 miles. Recent restoration with numerous mechanical upgrades, including larger valves, forged piston and electric fans. Also has 5-speed gearbox. Excellent body and panel fit with flawless leather interior. Should be a wonderful tour car. Complete with JDHT certificate. Cond: 1-. SOLD AT $77,000. An unrestored final-year E-type. Price paid was about right for a presentable Series III, with the low miles thrown in for free. New owner can drive the heck out of it or keep it as a preserved car with no financial loss either way. SOLD AT $121,000. The upgrades did not hurt the value here, as it Bonhams: January 17, 2013 Scottsdale, AZ USA sold for $25k more than Lot 138, the high-point XK 140 MC. Price paid pushed the upper limit of retail, but any premium will soon be forgotten after the first major tour. #370-1951 JAGUAR MK V drophead coupe. S/N 647460. Eng. # Z3482. Black & red/tan cloth/red leather. Odo: 65,263 miles. Top-grade restoration 10 years old and holding up fine. Some very minor flaws and paint swirls. Good matching chrome throughout. Excellent headlamps and driving lamps. Cloth top unmarked. Cavernous rear trunk excellent. Steel wheels, center hubs painted, chrome mock ears, wide whitewall tires. Lovely red leather seats and door trim, red carpets, polished wood, all the correct instruments. Clean and detailed engine and engine bay. Matching numbers. Engine rebuilt at resto. Fitted very discreetly with a/c. Cond: 2-. #138-1956 JAGUAR XK 140 MC roadster. S/N S812042DN. Carmen Red/tan fabric/ red leather. Odo: 56,546 miles. A factory-equipped “MC” with C-type high-compression head that produces 210 horsepower. Recent high-point restoration, has been driven only 1,000 miles since completion. Popular OTS configuration. Cond: 1-. SOLD AT $97,750. Sold in 2005 for $52k at Worldwide’s Seabrook, TX, SOLD AT $93,500. The 140 offers a touch more leg room over the 120, sale (SCM# 38326). One of just 972 dropheads with bigger 3.5-L. Transitioned Jaguar out of the post-war era with vintage style, including archaic suspension and handbuilt craftsmanship. With a/c, this would make a comfortable tour car with good show potential. Sold in the room about at a fair market value. and the “MC” configuration adds about $10k to the package. Price paid here was on the low side of market for a recently restored 140. 71 Silver Auctions: January 2013, Fort McDowell, AZ USA #340-1957 JAGUAR XK 140 MC roadster. S/N S812485. Red/tan cloth/tan leather. Odo: 2,724 miles. With a C-type cylinder head, period aftermarket wood-rim steering wheel, and modern color-coordinated seat belts. Very competent older restoration, but not a concours job. Paint has obvious polishing scratches, but still presents well. Excellent replated chrome, although the knockoffs have rust forming toward the center of the rims. Door gaps slightly off. Seats show some light wear and soiling. Cleaned-up engine bay. Rattle-can undercoating sprayed over dirt and grease. Cond: 3+. NOT SOLD AT $69,000. A pretty #407-1960 JAGUAR MK II 2.4 sedan. S/N 125443DN. Eng. # BG327388. Black & silver/red leather. Odo: 139 miles. Better than it left the factory when new. No miles since restoration. Paint in very good condition, silver not quite as nice as black. Good panel fit except for left rear door that needs adjustment. Chrome, glass, rubber, script all excellent. Steel factory wheels very good with new tires. Lovely red leather and superior wood veneers. Wilton wool headliner, carpets and other details excellent. Dash and instruments perfect. Engine bay clean and detailed. Undercarriage excellent. Cond: 2+. decent car when it was redone, but now a nice driver not worth the expense to restore. I’m not the only one to feel this way, as the car was seen at Dan Kruse Houston in November 2012, selling for $76k (SCM# 214708); at Dan Kruse Austin in September, no-selling for $77k (SCM# 213405); and at RM Plymouth in July, selling for $63k (SCM# 209068). Market-correct high bid here. NOT SOLD AT $42,000. The Mk II Jaguar sedan was a popular car that offered real luxury at an affordable price and was another milestone design success for William Lyons. Built 1960–67 and fitted with the venerable XK engine in 2.4-, 3.4- or 3.8-liter form. (The 3.4 was the base model, and the 2.4 was directed at the economy market.) Fine cars, but prone to rust bugs and not easy to restore cost-effectively, as seen here. $120k in resto receipts with no chance of recovery. Worth the $55k low estimate. Russo and Steele: January 2013, Scottsdale, AZ USA #399-1964 JAGUAR XKE convertible. S/N 881232. Eng. # RA59989. Cream/black canvas/red leather. Odo: 66,547 miles. Restoration from 2007 and driven little since. Very good paint, good panel fit, nice chrome. New chrome wires with oversize tires, some hammer dents on knockoff ears. Wiper scratch and one stone chip. Nice interior leather, wrong center console and armrest, period radio. Scuttle-mounted antenna needs attention. Good dash and instruments. Clean engine bay, missing wheelwell rubber seal. Carburetor air box removed. Spare wheel in trunk worn and pitted. No hammer or tool roll. Could use some expert sorting. Includes Heritage certificate. Cond: 3+. #F403-1966 JAGUAR MK II 3.8 saloon. S/N P1B79246BW. Black/tan leather. Odo: 87,546 miles. In same ownership for over 25 years. Very correct and stock-looking. Originally gold, body still solid. Paint shows some checking and crazing. Chrome and trim are decent. Interior has been redone. Engine rebuilt years ago. Original Borg-Warner 3-sp auto swapped for a 700R4 for drivability. Steering box was replaced with a rack-and inion system. Cond: 3+. NOT SOLD AT $23,000. The S-type has great road manners for a four- door. It has a wider track than an E-type and actually handles better. High bid was $15k short of the seller’s hopes. They drove it back home to Sedona. SOLD AT $92,000. Decent example of the legendary sports car with monocoque construction that revolutionized the company fortunes and the sports-car world. Needs some attention to detail to be really proper. Well sold in the room at just above low estimate. 72 From the Editor I welcome all Jaguar Drivers’ Club members to submit articles, pictures, and noteworthy stories that you’d like to share with fellow members.
