"As a 22 year old in 1976, I purchased our Mk2 and joined the Tasmanian Jaguar Car club. it was through the club that I met other Jaguar owners, including those with XKs At various events I could have a close look at these cars, with their captivating style and wonderful engineering. As a young teacher I always thought they would be beyond my means, but as we grow older and hopefully wiser, my wife Gail and I were able to purchase and restore our E-type and XK1 40. We still own the Mk2, and all of our cars give us great pleasure."
New Zealand: Don Bowater (North Island)
I have been an XK owner for just six years but he has been a car enthusiast for ever. I live in Auckland with my wife Lynley and together we have had lots of adventures and made many great friends as a result of the Jaguars.
I bought my first car when I was 14 years old – a 1936 Wolseley Hornet. It was in a 1000 bits but I managed to reassemble it and get it going with only a little help. I didn’t drive it very much because I sold it before turning 15 and getting my driver’s licence. Many cars followed, but like a lot of classic Jaguar enthusiasts, I coveted an XK or an E-type but could never afford one.
However, nearly 50 years on from that first car, the stars aligned and I was in a position to buy an XK 150 OTS. This is a very nice driver and we have done about 10,000 miles in it, touring, participating in club events and generally using the car.
Next up was an E-type, series 3 V12 open two seater and more recently an XJS convertible that has only travelled 18,000 km.
I am looking forward to meeting the local members and hopefully organising some great events – maybe even meeting up with our South Island friends. North Island Members, if you have any ideas on events you would like or prospective new members, please give me a call or an email – the contact details are in our magazine.
