Celebrating More Than 50 Years of the Jaguar Drivers' Club of Canberra
In March 1971, a notice was widely circulated to Canberra Jaguar drivers on Jaguar Driver’s Club of Australia letterhead. The notice was an open invitation to Jaguar owners in Canberra to attend a meeting to form a Jaguar Divers’ Club of Canberra.
The story of the group of motor enthusiasts who responded to that notice, and their successors, has now been published. It is the story of their dedication to the Jaguar Marque and their love of their individual Jaguar cars.
A number of Jaguar devotees did meet on 4 April 1971 and together created the Jaguar Drivers Club of Canberra. In the beginning the members had many ideas for the Club, all of which were focused on using, maintaining and most importantly, enjoying their special cars.
That Club has now celebrated its 50th anniversary.
This four volume book series edited by Paul Carr, tells the story of members of the JDCC and their cars in their own words. Many of the stories and photographs have been previously published in the JDCC Club Magazine, The Cat’s Whiskers, or its single-issue predecessor. This is not a definitive history in the academic sense, but rather a collection of stories of people and cars, and through these stories the story of a great Club and its journey over fifty years emerges.
