The monthly Jaguar Breakfast Club at the British Motor Museum is scaled-up each September into “Jaguars at Gaydon”, an annual event hosted by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust to delight the wider Jaguar community. This year the Swallow to Jaguar centenary provided a wealth of opportunities as the theme, with the Trust’s vehicle collection forming the foundation of the show displays.

From Sidecars to Sports Cars every decade of history was evident in this broad-ranging centennial extravaganza. JLR brought the event bang up-to-date with a line of showroom MY23 models along with an I-Type-5 from the racing stable. A live show arena presented a selection of significant vehicles and interviews with their owners. Period musical entertainment was performed throughout the day and a stunned crowd witnessed the major highlight of the JDHT’s XJ13 on a powerful demonstration drive. Has any car ever sounded so good?
