XJS 50th Anniversary Run - Bibury to Gaydon - 24th May 2025

Postby davidr » Tue Apr 29, 2025 9:46 pm

We have organised an XJS run between the Classic Motor Hub at Bibury up through the Cotswolds to the British Motor Museum at Gaydon as part of our celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the 1975 launch of our favourite car.
We meet at 10am at Bibury. They have a lovely cafe for breakfast and showrooms full of fabulous classic cars such as Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, Aston Martin and Jaguar.
The run up through the picturesque Cotswolds at your leisure will end at the Collections Centre at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon which houses the fascinating Jaguar Heritage Collection.
JDHT will be bringing several of the XJS’s from their collection to meet us at Bibury and join us for the run up to Gaydon where the rest of the collection will be waiting for us.
The cost is only £5 per ticket which will go towards a prize draw. The only other cost is entry to the British Motor Museum.
Priority will be given to XJS owners but everyone is welcome. Numbers are limited so please book without delay!

I look forward to seeing you there

Hi - thanks for signing up and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
We set a soft limit of 50 people for this event which we have reached but both venues are happy with higher numbers so the event is still open - plenty of spaces available yet!
Best wishes
