For the September Jaguar Breakfast Club we joined forces with the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust to stage “Jaguars at Gaydon” the largest-ever breakfast meet so far held at the British Motor Museum, although breakfast came and went as the event continued in full swing until 4pm!
Over 750 Jaguars arrived to enjoy the day including an incredible 500 modern XKs that created a magnificent display to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the model.
“Jaguars at Gaydon” welcomed all models and that’s certainly what was seen with classic and modern Jaguars in equal abundance, including fifty XJS’s for the XJs Club’s National Day, which formed an impressive line spanning the grass bank above the main show arena.
The show arena saw XKs with interesting stories and the JDHT brought out some rarely seen XKs from their collection along with cars across the eras to remember Sir William Lyons whose 120th birthday coincided with the day of the event. A huge cake was baked specially for the occasion and devoured with delight by all who visited the JDHT stand.
There was musical entertainment throughout the day performed by the trio My Favourite Things who had feet tapping with a selection of vintage hits from Sir William Lyons’ golden age of SS cars and Jaguar.
