Since 1963

Shine and Show at Bullwinkle’s

The Sunday afternoon friendly shine and show was a big hit.  Nineteen cars from our club plus a few extra “drop-in’s” provided a nice little car show.  Margaret McDowell was the show’s Chief Judge.

The categories were different from a regular concours show.  Beside representative age groupings of Jaguars from 1962 to 1974, 1975 to 1996 and 1997 to 2008, two additional classifications were created to display member cars that do not receive the same exposure as the regulars in the Club.  The first new class was Jaguar “Cousin” (a phrase coined by Paul Ridley) for the “other” car in our Jaguar Families.  The other new class was “Modified” for cars who’s owner have decided to re-engineer their cars, hopefully for the betterment of the car ie. How it should have been the first time around or here’s just a better idea, concept type presentation.

The line-up included several Panatera’s, a Ferrari Spider, and several true Jaguar cousins (Paul Ridley’s recently acquired TR-4 and Buck Buchanan’s, also new 1986   Lotus Esprit).
Bruce Audino’s Corvette powered 1983 XJS  was the public’s favorite, winning Best of Show. 
Paul Ridley won First Place Jaguar Cousin with his new TR-4 and Buck Buchanan took the same honor for Modified Jaguar. 

Here are pictures of just a few of the other cars.  .   Alexandra Eaton’s  and  Richard Silk.

 

Millennium Motor’s   provided the latest in the Jaguar Line.

 

Bullwinkle’s Pub in Plano provided sixteen (16) beautiful trophies which were displayed and present at the First Tuesday Meeting August 5th.  Due to the success of this show, most likely get-togethers will be happening in the future.
