Well it’s happened again… we have gone through another summer
here in Central New York. Looking back, it was a good summer
for JACNY members. We had great weather for both of our
slalom events; I hope everyone that attended had a fun time.
This year we saw Piehler Jaguar at the ESL Air Show in
Rochester, NY. They had a hospitality tent at the show and also
had a couple of new Jaguars on display, as well as some local
Jaguars driven in by their owners. Anyone who made it to the tent
was treated to excellent food and a great view of the air show. As I
was there working the flightline, I only got the chance to stay for a
short while, but I totally enjoyed the food and meeting some of our
fellow Jaguar owners from the Buffalo Jaguar Club. Thanks to
Mark Ventrillo and all the people at Piehler Jaguar who put it all
together.
We still have a month or two left before the winter hits and we still
have some time to enjoy our big cats before putting them up for the
winter or heading south (lucky people). Let’s get out and enjoy the
nice weather while we can. As some of you know, we are
planning a trip to see Alan Rosenblum’s car collection in New
Hartford, NY on October 29th. The club will cover half of the fee
for anyone interested in going… please contact me if you plan on
attending, so I will have a head count. Thank you for your
cooperation.
This years Fall Dinner Meeting will be held at The Inn Between
Restaurant in Camillus, NY. Look for further details in this
newsletter. Thanks to Linda Dafoe for putting this together.
I would like to welcome our new members to the JACNY Club:
Richard Blake of Endicott, NY, Paul & Jane Cowan of Jordan, NY
and Greg Guay of Avon, New York.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate one of
our club members on a very special milestone… George Parker
will be turning 80 years young on October 15th. On behalf of the
JACNY membership and myself, “Happy Birthday George!”
Hope to see everyone at the Fall Dinner Meeting.

August 7th Slalom…
The second slalom of the year was attended by a smaller number than in June, but still was a lot of fun.
With only eleven entrants, the event was finished rather quickly. Our August slalom saw many of the
usual participants, which is always nice to see. However, I had received an E-mail from Peter and
Angela Pontsa of Ontario Jaguar Owners Association saying they had attended the Challenge
Championship in Dublin, Ohio in July where they had competed in the slalom. Since they had such a
good time, they were looking to repeat the experience, so Peter and Angela made a weekend trip out of
it and joined us for our slalom here in Syracuse.
As some of the members know, we have supported Enable, which helps children, teens and adults with
disabilities. This year Deb Oonk, along with a young man (whose name I didn’t get), attended our
slalom event. A raffle was held, which was won by John Duncan, who was nice enough to give Deb a
sample of what it feels like to run in the slalom.
The results are as follows: Class F, Jeffrey Berry finished first in a 1986 XJ6 sedan with a time of
49.326. Class J, Vars Smith driving his 1990 XJ-S coupe finished first with a time of 47.623; in second
was Jeff Dafoe in a 1988 XJ-S roadster with a time of 48.828. Class K, Peter Pontsa finished first in a
1997 XK8 with a time of 49.204; in second was Angela Ponsta driving a 1997 XK8 with a time of
54.116. Class Z, William Meyer finished first in a 1965 Ford Cobra with a time of 43.150; in second
was Pat Santy in a 1974 Triumph TR6 with a time of 44.286; third place was John Duncan in a 1987
Porsche 911 with a time of 45.060.
Thanks to everyone who participated and helped out with the slalom. I hope it was a day enjoyed by
all. I look forward to next year’s slalom events with the hope that more of our members will
participate.

…Lime Rock Vintage Festival…
The big-doings at LRP this year, had to do with Jaguars. There was the opportunity to
ride with a pro, and to actually drive the new Jaguar XKR-S at speed on the racetrack.
Several folks, both racers and spectators, signed up and enjoyed the experience screaming
around Lime Rock’s 1.53 mile track.
Jaguar Cars was the event’s sponsor, fitting for the E type’s 50th year celebration. As in
three other race events this year, there was an “all Jaguar” race, dominated of course, by
the three Donovan Motorsports’ Jaguars. In fact they dominated all the races in which
they were gridded.
In my case, it rained on my parade in more than one way, since my red E type racecar
failed on Friday, in the first race of the weekend, with a serious engine problem. I moped
around for the rest of Friday, wondering what else I could do for the weekend, since the
car was broken.
At 6:00 p.m. I decided that I couldn’t just sit around for the weekend watching my
grandson Matt Hagopian racing the MG Midget and having all the fun, so Matt and I
packed the red Jag in the trailer and headed north for the ride back to NH to pick up my
silver street-legal E type to use as a substitute!
Four hours later, at 10:00 p.m. Friday evening, we were back in Sunapee dropping off the
red car, and installing a competition seat, a transponder, race tires, and race distributor,
into the silver car - that job taking us till 1:00 a.m. Still bright and cheerful (?) at that late
hour, the decision was made to turn around and go right back to the track! Another four
hour drive (all me!) and we arrived at our hotel in Lakeville CT at 5:00 a.m. Two hours in
bed followed by a shower, and we were back at the track by 8:30 a.m. ready for
Saturday’s three scheduled races!
The silver car did well, taking the checkered flag in all of those races. I finished “in the
bottom half”, but had some fun racing another similarly prepared E type from Vermont,
whilst Donovan collected all the “hardware”. Some might question the sanity of one who
would do what we did, but as they say, “the show must go on”!
Bottom line is that I enjoyed the weekend, the racing, watching my grandson, and the
good wishes of our supporters, most of whom were JANE members.
In all that we do, my motto is that “to have memories, one must live memorably!”
Now, let’s see what went wrong with that motor!

How We Acquired Our First Jaguar
By Jeff and Christine Berry
It all started with a trip to Home Depot, which just happens to be close to a car dealership, not
Jaguar dealer, I might add. There sat a very nice 1982 series III XJ6 burgundy with white
interior. The car looked sharp, but on closer inspection it had a few flaws… one of which was
being overpriced. Thus, started the hunt for an affordable XJ6 in good condition.
The search was a long and interesting one to say the least, two years to be exact. During this
time, I found a number of Jaguars that were really nice but were either too far away to look at or
were way overpriced. Some were even painted yellow as in School Bus Yellow or had flames
painted on the sides. Quite a few had 350 Chevy engines installed, but that’s not a Jaguar.
My quest to find the right Jaguar took me to New Jersey, New York City and Connecticut. There
were a few nice ones that I procrastinated on and they were sold.
Finally one day while searching and about to give up, there she was… a 1986 Series III XJ6
Windsor blue with gray interior. The pictures showed her to be in excellent condition with super
low mileage. The pictures were nice but having seen too many cars that were photo shopped, I
was a little nervous. I started to doubt myself that this would be the one for me. But the inner
voice in me said to go for it… so a phone call later, I was all set to make a trip to Greenwich
Conn.
Upon arriving at the owner’s house, there sat in the driveway a beautiful dark blue XJ6 Jaguar.
It was love at first sight. The sunlight reflecting off the leaper on the hood was just too much and
I knew I had to have her.
The test drive convinced me even more that I had to have this car, so an offer was made
(nervously) and it was accepted. The next week I returned to bring my new found treasure
home. The trip home was exciting as I had never driven a car like this before, much less owned
one. The feeling was hard to describe, but I wanted to stop and ask someone for some Grey
Poupon.
That was four years ago and we have not been disappointed in our choice. We have had
wonderful times taking her to car shows and Jaguar events; she has even won a few ribbons.
Most of all, we have met many wonderful and friendly people.

Playing with Jane - 2011......................................................by George Parker
On the weekend of August 12 - 14 it was time to make our annual trek to the JANE
show in Sturbridge, MA. The JACNY contingent was a little light this year with
only Burt Markowitz and the Parkers in attendance. Friday the 12th was a beautiful
day for the drive to Sturbridge. But for both Burt and the Parkers the trip was not
uneventful! Burt made it from his home in Ithaca to about Marathon in his E-type
when some funny things started to happen.....battery not charging, A/C failing, no
P/S. Fortunately, he was able to pull into a local repair shop, and....yup, you
guessed it....two belts were broken and shredded! Luckily, they were able to
replace one of the belts, the important one driving the alternator, water pump,
and A/C..... and soon Burt was on his way lacking only P/S.
For the Parkers it was a different story. They had registered the E-type and George
spent a couple of days checking it over and cleaning it up getting it ready for the
show and packing all the stuff needed for a three or four day adventure.
Obviously, it was in great shape having just completed an over 1000 mile trip the
Challenge Championship in Ohio.....But, not so fast!...On Friday morning when
backing the car out of the garage to begin the trip there were no brakes!...Well,
almost no brakes. A quick inspection under the bonnet revealed the problem. The
rear brake reservoir was almost empty! The fluid had drained through a bad seal in
the slave cylinder into the vacuum booster! The E-type was sick, and going
nowhere! So, at the last minute all the travel stuff had to be transferred to the XJ8.
At least the trip was made in air-conditioned comfort!
Saturday, the day of the show, was also a beautiful day. It was up early to get the
cars ready and onto the show field.....on the lawn behind the Host Hotel
overlooking Cedar Lake....a beautiful venue! For Burt that was easy since his car
was show-ready. But the Parker XJ8 needed a quick wash job and clean up to be
at least presentable for the show. At noon it was “rags down” and the judging
began. There were lots of beautiful Jaguars there, but probably the most
outstanding entry was an original, not a repro, C-type… a very rare car.
That evening the awards banquet was held in the huge tent adjoining the show
field. Burt took home his usual first place in the Preservation Class and the
Parkers, a second in the modern saloon driven class.
A Poker Run was planned for Sunday, but neither Burt nor the Parkersparticipated.
Burt headed home, while the Parkers visited the Bostonarea.....returning to Sturbridge
that evening, and back to NY on Monday. In spiteof some unexpected difficulties, it was
a fun weekend. The annual JANE show isalways a great event for a Jaguar enthusiast.
How about joining us in this adventure next year?

How the Wobble War was Won..........................................by George Parker
I was shocked when it happened for the first time! It was 1990 and I was out
for a pleasant drive in our newly restored XK 120 OTS when out of a clear
blue sky, while motoring along at about 30 mph, we hit a bump and the front
end went into a violent steering oscillation.....the wheels wobbling back and forth.
What on earth was going on here? Everything in the front suspension was new and
tight. I examined everything, but could find nothing wrong. I called in many “car
guy” friends to look over the car, but no one could detect a problem. I found that
the only way I could avoid the wobble was to make sure that the front wheels were
in top condition....true and properly balanced. In that manner, I was able to drive
the car. But all the time I knew that the dreaded wobble monster was lurking,
waiting to strike again at any time, and I really didn’t know what to do about it.
Finally, about five years ago I decided that I had to find and solve the problem,
once and for all. And the only way to do that was to call in the big guns! So I
called my friend and local vintage Jaguar guru, Brian Donovan. After explaining
the problem, Brian’s answer was succinct, “It’s the lower ball joints.”
“But Brian, everything, ball joints and tie rod ends, are brand new and tight. “ I
replied.
“ George, you’re not listening. It’s the lower ball joints! ”
“ OK, I’ll check them out ”
And I did. But they appeared fine. So the only thing I could do was tighten them
up. The shop manual calls for .010" end float. I took out shims until I had only
about .002". It worked! Any tendency to wobble seemed to disappear. Problem
solved......or was it?
Later that same year I had occasion to talk Jaguar stuff with Bill Tracy (yes, that
Bill Tracy!), and I brought up my wobble problem that I thought was solved. But
Bill added another wrinkle, “You know, George, Jaguar changed from a brass to a
phenolic cup in those lower ball joints early in production. I think it was to address
the wobble problem. And I have some right here.”
My response was quick, “I’ll take a couple. “
Now I had phenolic cups, but what to do with them? Since I wasn’t experiencing
any wobble, I lived by the old adage.....if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. So the phenolic
cups languished on my workbench for several years. But that changed in the
summer of 2011.
11
We made the journey to Lenox, MA and entered the XK120 in the new
Tanglewood British Motorcar Festival. While there, to my consternation, the
wobble returned! I wasn’t a happy camper, but I concluded that wear in the lower
ball joints had now resulted in excessive end float, and all I had to do was tighten
them up and I’d be good to go. Since the wobble only occurred at low speeds, the
trip home to NY on the MA Turnpike and NY Thruway was made without
incident.
When I inspected the ball joints I was in for a surprise. There was no wear or
excessive end float! So my old fix wouldn’t work this time. And, to my surprise,
when I put everything back together I found that the wobble occurred almost
immediately....the car was basically undriveable! Then I remembered that I had
switched wheels front to rear, and those rear wheels were so bad as to induce the
wobble at the slightest bump. Back to my original fix....true and balance the front
wheels. So I shipped them off to Hendrix Wire Wheel in NC. They did their usual
fine job truing the wire wheels, balancing, and shaving round. I got them back
with a total radial run-out of about .005". I was sure the car would now be
driveable. But the basic problem, whatever it was, was still not fixed.
While waiting for the wheels to return from Hendrix, we attended the JANE show
in Sturbridge, MA. There I took the opportunity to discuss the problem with one
of my JANE friends, Carl Hanson. Carl had also experienced the wobble problem
and we had discussed it in the past.
“Carl, what have you done about your wobble problem?” I asked.
“Oh, I’ve got that all solved. Turns out, there was a Jaguar Service Bulletin back
in 1950 that addressed the problem.” he replied.
“A Service Bulletin? What did it say?”
“It said to replace the brass cups with phenolic ones, and to use no grease! I’ll
send you a copy.”
I was amazed.....Good grief, Charlie Brown, ball joints with no grease?
Carl was as good as his word. Shortly after returning from Sturbridge, I found
Jaguar Service Bulletin #68, dated July, 1950 in my email inbox. And sure
enough, it said in bold letters that it was imperative that no grease should be
allowed to get to the ball joints. And it went so far as to indicate that the ball itself
should be removed so that the seal containing any grease could be removed so that
no grease left there could get down to the ball. Wow, this was really a revelation!
12
So, the next step was to install those phenolic cups that had been lying on my
workbench all those years. It was a fairly simple process. The brass cups were
removed from the caps with a sharp tap on the workbench. The spigot surrounding
the ball had to be removed from the axle carrier to accommodate the phenolic cups.
That was accomplished easily by a little twisting with
channel lock pliers. Then the phenolic cups had to be
pressed into the caps. Here I took an
extra step that may not have been
necessary. The phenolic cups appeared a
little large to be pressed in, and I was
afraid of getting them in halfway and not
Figure 1 - Spigot and brass

the right.
carefully reduced their radius a little with
sandpaper. They pressed in easily.
Figure 2 - Pressing the
phenolic cup into the cap.
Next, I cleaned all grease from the ball using a spray can of
brake cleaner. Fortunately, the seals were flat and appeared to
contain no grease. I certainly didn’t want to go to all the work
of removing the ball as the Service Bulletin indicated. And the
seals were old and cracked, so I simply inserted the spray
nozzle into a crack in the seal and flushed it out with the
brake cleaner. I made sure I had removed all traces of
grease from the seal and around the ball.
Figure 3 - Phenolic cup in place
in the cap.
For the installation of the caps on the ball, I first snugged
them in place with no shims and measured the gap with a
feeler gauge. It turned out to be .002" on both sides. Even
though the Service Bulletin still called for .010" end float,
I couldn’t get myself to go that far. I used a .005" shim,
which should give me about .003" end float. Note that this
should be done with a jack under the lower wishbone to
take the load of the torsion bar. Sometime in the future
when I feel more confident with the fix, I’ll probably add
Figure 4 - The ball cleaned
another .005" shim to see how it works.
of all grease.
By the way, I also made sure that the caps no longer have any grease nipples to avoid
any inadvertent introduction of grease in the future.
13
How the Wobble War was Won (Continued)
At this point, the wheels had been trued and balanced and the phenolic cups had
been installed. The only thing left to complete the project was to check and adjust
the front end alignment. I was particularly concerned with having at least the 3
degrees positive castor specified in the shop manual. I won’t go into the details of
that here, but it’s a straightforward process, though time consuming and tedious,
using a simple camber/castor gauge and an aluminum rod to measure toe-in. The
one complication that had to be addressed was that the car had to be level. Of
course, my garage floor is far from level, so I used a laser level to determine the
pads necessary to be placed under three of the wheels to level the car.......With the
alignment done I was ready to roll! And the test drives proved successful, with no
indication of wheel wobble.
A word about history… It’s interesting how sometimes knowledge gets lost over
time. And how sometimes when we think we’re improving things we’re really
making them worse. This wheel wobble problem is a perfect example. When
these cars started to be restored many of those involved thought they were
“upgrading” when they replaced those cheap phenolic cups with more substantial
brass cups. And there were no grease fittings in the caps (in cars leaving the
factory after July 1950)....so we’ll improve the car by installing them! I’m guilty
of that myself. When I bought new ball joints they came with brass cups, so I
drilled holes in the caps and installed grease fittings. What I, and others,
unwittingly did in the name of “improving” was reintroduce a problem that Jaguar
had solved many years before!
I’m indebted to several of my Jaguar friends for finally getting this vexing problem
solved. Brian Donovan was the first to open my eyes to the fact that the root of the
problem lies in the lower ball joints. Then Bill Tracy introduced the fact that there
was such a thing as phenolic cups, and they probably were somehow related to the
problem. But it was Carl Hanson who tied it all together, did the research to find
the Service Bulletin, and put the problem to bed! My thanks to them all!

Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival
***************************
Friday, September 9, 2011 was part of the 63rd annual Watkins Glen Prix Festival. The day was
overcast with temperatures in the 60’s but that did not decrease the enthusiasm of the six
members from JACNY who participated in the Chemung Canal Trust Concours d’Elegance – a
judged show for selected classic and vintage cars in concours condition.
One of the most fun and exciting parts of the Concours event was being able to take two laps
around the old Watkins Glen race track course, which was enjoyed by all of us.
Aldis & Janet Lemesis from Fairport, NY, brought their beautiful red 1962 Jaguar E-type and
they won 2nd place in the show. This car certainly attracted many spectators at the show. The 1st
place honor went to a 1933 Marmon sedan. This car was present at the first Watkins Glen Grand
Prix in 1948. It was driven to that show by the same owner who rode in the car this year, driven
by his son from their home in Pennsylvania.
Bill & Janet Goodman and their son, Chuck, drove their 1954 Jaguar XK-120 OTS from
Pittsford, NY. This is the second year in a row that a JACNY car has finished in the top 3 at the
Watkins Glen Concours, as the Goodmans captured 3rd place last year.
Bill & Cheryl Baldwin arrived in their 1957 Turner 803 from their home in Victor, NY, after
leaving their summer home in Lake George, NY, which suffered extensive damage from the
recent hurricane. The pictures they shared of the destruction were amazing. The ’57 Turner was
originally Bob’s father’s car, and had spent many years in a barn before Bob restored it.

…JACNY Car Tour Event in October…
Alan Rosenblum Private Car Collection Tour
JACNY is heading back to New Hartford, NY on Saturday, October 29th, for a second
opportunity to view the private car collection of Alan Rosenblum. Alan is a local car
collector that has amassed quite a collection. Anyone that attended the first tour a couple
of years ago knows that this is a great chance to view some fantastic cars ranging from
Bugatti to Packard and everything in between – there are even some Jaguars. The cars
are in great shape, some are very rare and unique, and all are kept in running condition
and are exercised from time-to-time. The facility that houses his collection is just as
impressive; full of all types of automotive art and history.
The second you step foot in the building, the two-tone black & white 1938 BMW will
have you hooked. If you missed the first tour of Alan’s collection, please try to make this
event – you’ll be glad you did. Alan will be there again this time to lead us on the tour,
and provide the great stories that go along with each of these fine motorcars.
On the first tour, two years ago, there was no per person admission and JACNY made a
donation to the Saratoga Auto Museum. Alan has set-up admission to the collection
differently now; he requests $20 per person that is donated to local charities. JACNY has
decided to split the cost of admission with attending members, so it will cost you $10 per
person to get in, and JACNY will pick-up the rest. The collection is not open to the
general public, so take advantage of the situation and enjoy an afternoon of motoring history.
Details:
The car collection is located in New Hartford, just Southwest of Utica, at 117 New
Hartford St. The date is Saturday, October 29th – we will meet there at noon –
$10 per person admission.
RSVP is not really required, but we would like to have an idea of who is coming so we
can pass on a rough estimate to Alan. Please contact Jeff Berry by e-mail;
[email protected] or phone; 315-656-9732, if you’re attending.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JANE Adirondack Mountain Tour.... A Heads-up
by George Parker
I’ve been in conversation with Carl Hanson of JANE about a tour of the
Adirondacks that he’s planning for next spring. Although the details and dates
have yet to be determined, some potential activities include visits to the
Saratoga Automobile Museum and the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain
Lake, and dinner at the Savoy in Rome. The timing may be late May 2012. He
plans to extend an invitation to JACNY to join the tour at any point that’s
convenient. For those of us who don’t travel to the JANE Show each year,
here’s an opportunity to meet and mingle with some of the nice folks from
JANE. Watch the Kitty Letter for details as they develop.
