If you ever think it’s not worth attending the Jaguar Breakfast Club because it’s raining and no one will be there, think again! The first meet of 2022 took place on a deluged January day, yet one hundred Jaguars appeared through the horizontal rain to put on a fantastic display at the British Motor Museum

The February Jaguar Breakfast Club was extraordinary, with the emphasis on “extra” rather than “ordinary”, and witnessed a staggering three hundred or so Jaguars and Daimlers descending upon the British Motor Museum to display in the winter sunshine.

Following the three hundred Jaguars in attendance in February and with a keen northerly wind blowing, we expected a more modest turnout for the March meeting, but it may have been even bigger!

The April Jaguar Breakfast Club was the sixth anniversary to the exact day of the this hugely popular event. With the sun in the sky, a large concentration of XJ40s on the lawn, the very first lightweight E-type on display and the buzz of young drivers in classic cars driving a circuit in the adjacent car park, there was so much to see and do.

The June Jaguar Breakfast Club featured a dedicated display of modern X150 XKs. It is great fun to put a particular model in the limelight at the breakfast meetings and during the year these can range widely from classics to the present day.

The July Breakfast Club was an “away day” at the Classic Motor Hub, an exclusive classic and sports car showroom in a remote location in the Cotswold hills.

The August Jaguar Breakfast Club had the theme of “Supercharged Saturday”. There is definitely something about Jaguar owners and superchargers so we guessed the event might be popular, but we were astounded to receive 307 registrations from supercharged Jaguars (and Daimlers).

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.

October was “away day” by the kind invitation of Jaguar Classic to visit their impressive Classic Works – free of charge! As a theme for this visit we chose the 25th anniversary of the X308 XJ, with a line of these 4-litre V8s forming the centrepiece display outside the main entrance to Classic Works.

Many people will ‘remember, remember the 5th November’ as being a rather damp day for their bonfires, but Jaguar owners will mark the day for our Breakfast Club gathering at the British Motor Museum where around 130 cars enjoyed a convivial morning in great company.

The stunning vision of over 150 Jaguars at the Jaguar Breakfast Club warmed everyone’s spirits on a chilly December morning at the British Motor Museum. The cars spanned eight decades as though assembled as a living museum to complement the exhibits inside.
