My father was fortunate to have a succession of Jaguars as company cars and I fell in love with them. In 2019 I achieved my ambition of buying, what I believe to be, the last of the classically styled Jaguars, an X 100 convertible. The car had the usual XK issues with rust etc, but over 5 years I have worked around the car slowly getting them all dealt with and now feel I have a solid car.

We love driving around the fabulous North Wales roads with the top down and 4 years ago we looked around for a club to join, found there was not an active one, so dipped our toes in the water and organised a one off meet for any local XK8 owners. We were somewhat amazed when we had 16 cars turn up, we had a great day out and picnic. This led to a discusion with a certain Ron Wood who came along on that drive and the XKCC North Wales Region was born.

The Region is now very strong and we average regularly get over 30 people on our monthly outings.
