The Ponte Vedra Auto Show traditionally has been one of the premier automotive events in North Florida. Once again, the 2024 show drew a wide variety of outstanding classic and contemporary vehicles and the event had hundreds of automotive enthusiasts in attendance. Eleven Jaguars, mostly entered by current JCCNF members, were strategically displayed in front of the official viewing stand and became a prominent show attraction. Our own JCCNF President, Ed Lewis was awarded a best-in-class trophy for his 1960 Jaguar Mark IX

Our sister Jaguar club, Jaguar Club of Florida (JCOF) invites JCCNF members to enjoy a fabulous motoring outing! This event is a JCNA sanctioned Slalom, open to Jaguar and non-Jaguar vehicles. So, if you are interested in putting your Jaguar through its paces and testing your driving skills, this is your opportunity to shine!! The Slalom is also a great spectator sport, so bring a chair and your pompoms to cheer your favorite driver. Following the Slalom, JCOF Chief Judge Ian Crawford invites everyone to a FREE Bar-B-Q lunch at his family’s lake house and to enjoy Ian’s stable of exotic and classic automobiles including a most rare Jaguar XJ220.
Post Event Notes:
The weather was outstanding, the slalom was both competitive and challenging, the BBQ was fabulous, and the company was spectacular. I can hardly wait until next year !!
