HOW IT ALL BEGAN
The image above was the original advert and article that was placed in Jaguar World magazine back in July 2003. The idea initially was to just simply get a few XK8/XKR owners together. We wasn't then expecting what followed !
Now in our sixteenth year we are still going strong thanks to the ongoing support of so many.
