After dusting off the now distant vestiges of the pandemic
and following up on our specacular 'coming out' party last year in 2024,
we are back again once again with the 2025 Virginia Jaguar Club’s (VJC) sanctioned
JCNA Concours!
This years event wil be held on Saturday, June 14th again at the historic St. Josephs Villa in Richmond, Virginia.
Due to a limitation in the number of qualified judges, we will again have to limit registrations in order to man the field and properly cover the number of cars that will be entered.
More Details
A huge plus is if you will be attending AND are a currently certified JCNA judge and are willing to judge, this will widen the number of cars we can support on the field for this event.
Even if you are not having your Jaguar judged, you are still welcome and encouraged to bring your Jaguar as part of the larger RAACA show (see below) and are welcome to park among Jaguars in the Concours. However you can register with VJC as “Display Only” There is still a $60 registration fee for this as a way of suporting VJC. If you do register at VJC you will receive a registration welcome package and have a VJC windshield placard and receive a VJC name tag that identifies you as a participant in this 'show-within-a-show.'
This year’s event will again be held in conjunction with the Richmond chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America (RAACA) and as in previous years, VJC will be sub-hosting a “show within a show.” Entries into the VJC Concours will also need to register with the RAACA show and participants will be available to receive rewards in both programs. (See https://www.RichmondAACA.com)
St. Joseph’s Villa is located at 8000 Brook Road, Richmond, VA and is a large park-like setting with classical architecture and is conveniently located off of I-95 at the Parham Road exit at the intersection of Parham and Brook Roads, about eight miles north of downtown Richmond.
Last year the RAACA show had over 600 vehicles and will feature over thirty food, merchandise and auto-related vendors offering something for everyone. There is easy access to the facility, plenty of parking available as well as many nearby restaurants and hotels.
The Virginia Jaguar Club has some notable cars among its membership including the oldest “Jaguar” (a 1929 SS Swallow) in The USA as well as several past national 1st place winners. In addition to JCNA member cars, the show field has traditionally chock-full of a variety of other British marques including MG, Triumph, Lotus, Aston Martin and Rolls Royce. And of course if you are a 'car person' lots of great classic American, muscle cars and hot rod custom cars as well.
The VJC Concours in past years has been highly popular with nearby NE and SE clubs within Jaguar Clubs of North America membership due to it central location on the Eastern Seaboard. VJC was the host club for the national JCNA AGM in 2012 which was attended by top officers of Jaguar USA and Ian Callum, then Chief Design Director, Jaguar Cars and famous Jaguar test driver, Norman Dewis.
Sister JCNA club judges are encouraged to be a part of our judging team. The number of entries will be limited by the quantity of certified JCNA judges that we will have on hand, so again, the number of entrants will be limited based on the size of our judging pool. If you are from another club and are a qualified JCNA judge, please indicate this on the registration page. Both judged and displayed cars that are qualified judges are graciously welcomed.
Pre-Event Social Gathering
What would a Concours be without a bit of chin wagging and libations over our love for all things JAGUAR?!?Meet our fellow Jag-Lovers at Virginia Center Crossings (VCC), a short drive from the event site at 1000 Virginia Center Pkwy, Glen Allen, VA 23059 We will meet in the lounge from 5:00-'Whenever' for a good time of camaraderie and fellowship.
VCC is our 'center host' hotel and many out of towners may choose to stay there, however we do NOT have any special rate offer due to the small size of potential participants. There are also other hotels nearby to VCC as well as St. Josephs.
