This past Saturday we had the opportunity to stop by the
Jaguar Club of America Concours D’Elegance, a Jaguar car show at Crown Center.
Over 70 Jaguar vehicles were in attendance, with everything from classic Jaguar
coupes to bespoke Jaguar sedans.
To contrast against the Jaguars of old, we took the 2012
Jaguar XFR sedan, a 510 horsepower modern marvel, which attracted quite a crowd
of its own.
Each of the vintage Jags were in pristine condition, ready
for a rigorous evaluation process to determine best in show. Each Jaguar was
judged on quality of restoration, cleanliness, and dozens of other detail
points.
The winning car was a stunning 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster
owned by James and Helen Boley.
I had the opportunity to speak with Rick Van Tuyl, president
of the Heart of America Jaguar Club, who recommends that anyone with a Jaguar
join! It’s easy and more information can be found on their website at: http://www.jcna.com/clubs/main.php?club=sc16&Vref=sc16
