Who will be the 2024 Champion of Champions?
The tension is mounting as we get nearer to crowning this years’ Champion of Champions winner when we head to the British Motor Museum for the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust’s Jaguars at Gaydon event – and we’d love for you to join us!
With just five cars in the final, it’s the closest competition yet. The cars will be on display in the JDHT Collections Centre, with judging starting at 9am ahead of the reveal of the winner at around 2pm.
Your five finalists are: - Mk V DHC, owned by Nigel Bowen-Easley
- XK 120 roadster, owned by Tim de la Fosse
- XJS Celebration Convertible, owned by James Tetherton
- XJR (X350), owned by Andy Brooks
- XKR 75, owned by Richard Arnold
Expect to see big cats on display, both outside in the main show display areas and in the Collections Centre, including a few rarely seen variants on display for this event. There’s a dedicated Jaguar Zone in the main Museum building too! Your show ticket will give you access to both the Museum buildings, including over 400 historic British cars, so take advantage to explore these iconic vehicles, especially the Jaguars – you can display your Jaguar and get all this for just £11 per person. Tickets for members attending in a non-Jaguar are £16 or £14 for pensioners. Children are also charged. Check the website and book on line in advance to prevent delays!
