Find us in Hall 1 of the NEC Classic Motor Show

This morning saw the doors open on the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Situated in Hall 1, the premium hall, there was a buzz in the air as visitors flocked to see the cars on display on the JDC stand.

With a stunning six cars on display, excellently curated by Bryan Mander, the stand looked great. But don’t take our word for it - come and see for yourself. We’re in the bottom left-hand corner from the entrance of Hall 1. Just look for the banner hanging from the ceiling.

But that’s not the only place to see the JDC at the show...

Jaguar E-Type inducted into inaugural Hall of Fame

As part of the show’s 40th celebrations, it has launched a Hall of Fame with four inductees invited to join each year going forward. These are Industry and Community Ambassador, Motoring Club and Classic Car - with the 2024 inductee being the Jaguar E-Type.

The JDC was delighted to be asked to get involved and you will see former Champion of Champions winner Paul Crowther’s E-Type Series 1 Roadster on the Hall of Fame display in Hall 2.

Double bubble on Meguiar’s Club Showcase

We have not one but two cars on the prestigious Meguiar’s Club Showcase stand in the centre of Hall 1. Endeavour Trophy winner Tim de la Fosse and his 1950 XK120 and Champion of Champion finalist James Tetherton and his 1996 XJS Celebration Convertible will both face the judge’s scrutiny on Saturday with the winner announced on Sunday. Best of luck to Tim and James.

Vote for Russ Swift’s SS 100 in the Pride of Ownership

It’s down to the show’s visitors to decide who the winner of the Pride of Ownership competition will be, so we’ll be giving our votes to former stunt driving legend Russ Swift and his striking Jaguar SS 100. With 20 finalists in total, there’s some stiff competition so make sure you support Russ if you are attending the show. Winner announced at 2pm on Sunday.

High Mileage Heroes

On Saturday and Sunday, Bryan Mander will be in the Meet the Experts Theatre in Hall 5 with YouTuber ‘Auto’ Alex Kersten talking about High Mileage Heroes. With his own car showing over 350,000 miles on the clock, Bryan’s insight will be well worth a listen. Take your seat at 2.30pm each day to enjoy this lively discussion.
