A Jaguar XK Convert
On Tuesday 16 April I, as part of the Jaguar XK Club, had a hand in organising and attending the XK Media Launch Day. This was my first...
Co-founder of the XK Club, Philip Porter, chats with Neil and Olivia Donnan who, with their XK 120 ‘Beasty’, have traversed six continents and countless countries, including driving from London to Sydney!
Together they reminisce about the highlights, low-points, and the smiles they brought to people across the world. One thing is for sure, XKs were made for driving!

New book exclusively available in the UK through the XK Club
Hans Kuny's passion for the Jaguar XK began in early childhood. As an adult, he began to purchase each of the different models of 120, 140 and 150, along with a Mk VII, Mk VIII and Mk IX – each with its own history.
Spirit of XK – The Hans G. Kuny Collection brings together these histories along with some magnificent photographs, and the story of his collection is one that will fascinate classic XK enthusiasts everywhere.
The book is available for UK customers online via the Club shop. If you are overseas and wish to purchase, please contact the Club office for details.
£82 – limited stock.
The website, which is actively managed and often updated daily, has a 'Members’ Only' section with a library of technical articles and is ever-expanding.
The Club’s emphasis is very much on using our cars – the XK was designed to be driven!
Thus we have a wide range of events from runs to international tours, from lunches to weekends, from track days to technical seminars. Many are free of charge or the cost is modest. Above all, we aim to give value for money. Some are organised by HQ, and some by our splendid volunteer Representatives around the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia and many other countries.
Send your technical queries to info@xkclub.com. Kindly supported by CBR Classic Restorations, Classic Motor Cars, Twyford Moors and WinSpeed of Guildford.
Since 1931, details of every SS and Jaguar vehicle that has been produced have been recorded. Initially this was in a bound ledger which was completed as a vehicle made its way down the production line; from the 1980s the company used computerised systems but continued to record the same details.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust holds these unique production records in the Archive, as well as holding records for some Swallow-bodied and Daimler models. Using these production records we can issue certified Heritage Certificates for vehicles which are more than ten years old showing a vehicle’s entry exactly as it was recorded at the time of production; such as the original colour and trim, dates of build and dispatch as well the original destination and, where recorded, the original registration mark.
XKDATA.com is a project to help people find information about a particular car or series of cars by serial number.
This site welcomes participation from anyone interested in these cars. We aren't experts, but there is also no exclusivity to the data hosted here. You don't have to be a member to list a car.
In some cases this open model can lead to inaccuracies. But with your help the site can become more accurate. Over time, hopefully more information will be added, corrections will be made, and at the end of the day we'll all know a bit more about a particular car than we would otherwise.
