There are few dedicated Jaguar meets taking place during the depths of winter, but the monthly Jaguar Breakfast Meet at the British Motor Museum is one to ignore the adversity of the season. However, with a freezing cold morning forecast for the first gathering of the year, not too many cars were expected. But the British Bulldog Spirit was clearly in evidence with well over fifty Jaguars arriving for breakfast in sub-zero temperatures, including a superb and recently acquired 1968 Jaguar 340, whose owners nonchalantly undertook a 130 mile round trip to be part of the event.

The New Year at the Museum has brought much added interest for Jaguar enthusiast with many improvements currently underway to enhance the interpretation of the Jaguar Heritage Trust section of the Collections Centre.
