ALONG FOR THE RIDE

 

Visited the one of the first shows of the year, Easter Concours d’Elegance at Forest Park. It was a great collection of vehicles 25 - 100 years old and I bumped into a few members showing their Jaguars. While the temperature was a bit brisk, the sunny skies and spring breezes made you realize driving season is upon us. The Jaguar Association of Greater St. Louis (JAGSL) is enthusiastically kicking off the 2026 driving season with a dynamic lineup of events designed to celebrate the thrill of Jaguar ownership.

 

The calendar features everything from relaxed Cars & Coffee gatherings at Fast Lane Classic Cars to more adventurous pursuits, including the upcoming TAXMAN RACING weekend at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit from April 10–12. These events blend camaraderie, technical know-how, and the pure joy of piloting these British icons, whether it's navigating scenic routes reminiscent of Jaguar's storied racing heritage. 

 

Beyond the track, JAGSL's season-opening activities emphasize the club's rich tradition of touring and exploration, inviting enthusiasts to experience the effortless grace and feline agility that define every Jaguar. Look forward to scenic rallies and group drives that wind through historic St. Louis landmarks and the picturesque Missouri/Illinois landscape, fostering friendships among owners of classic and contemporary models alike. Whether you're a longtime member or a newcomer drawn to the brand's engineering elegance, these events offer the perfect opportunity to rev engines, chart new adventures, and embrace the open road in true Jaguar style. For full details and registration, visit the club's website at jagstl.com— the driving season has never looked more inviting.

 

Some of our events will have a nominal fee of $5 to cover costs and help with expenses from our events. Fees like this will be notified on the site with the event.

 Member Spotlight

 

Megan and John Sippel

 

We joined the club in 2013 after we bought our first Jaguar a 2009 XK convertible. What a great car and it made going on tours like no other GT car made. We bought it from a wholesaler out of Texas. Drove it home and then sold it to an enthusiast and it went back to Houston were we got it.

 

 

We added a 1992 XJS convertible to the stable of cars, but after perfecting the vehicle we decided to sell it while it was still in one piece. Leaving it outside with just a car cover would have been a mistake. It was a beautiful BRG with the 5.2 litre V12. It was a smooth ride and had plenty of power. We added the new wheels shown in the picture and it make the car ride like a modern vehicle. 

 

 

 We replaced the 2009 XK with a 2011 XKR. This vehicle came out of Glendale, CA. We were hunting for this car and passed on 2 prior to committing to this vehicle. With the 5.0 supercharged engine, the XKR was amazing piece of engineering from Jaguar.

 


 A few years ago we purchased an F-Pace that has been a great SUV with the spirit of Jaguar. We've owned an number of SUVs and this one is definately tops with us. We hope to see everyone this year and wish you the best motoring season ever.
