Jaguar XJC and Daimler Coupe - 50th Anniversary - April 1-3, 2025

YOUR REGISTRATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR ATTENDANCE

Before you REGISTER for this event please read all event details below.

(YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRINT YOUR TICKETS)

In 2021 as we celebrated the 45th Anniversary of the Jaguar XJC and Daimler Sovereign Coupe in Mildura, we determined that we would get together again in April 2025. Paul Tomlinson volunteered as a Bathurst resident to coordinate this event in Bathurst.

It was to our surprise that the JDCA decided that the venue for the 2025 Jaguar National Rally would also be in Bathurst, 4—7 April 2025 and that the celebratory models would be the Jaguar XJC and Jaguar XJS both celebrating their 50th year anniversary.

The Australian Jaguar XJC and Daimler Sovereign Coupe community has the opportunity to come together in the three days preceding the Jaguar National Rally to celebrate our passion for these very special cars. We are anticipating cars from all across Australia including Tasmania and Western Australia.

The event is planned as a casual event with the simple aim of enjoying our cars and each other’s company. We are encouraging members to register for the following Jaguar National Rally April 4-7, 2024, where the Jaguar XJC and the Jaguar XJS will both celebrate their 50th Anniversary in style. We are looking forward to a huge line-up of Coupes (Possibly the largest ever world-wide) at the Jaguar National Rally Display Day on Saturday, 5th April.

Please Note: You will need to go to the the Jaguar National Rally Registration site and pay a $15 entry fee for the Display Day on Saturday April 5, 2025. (If you are just registering for the Display Day, you will not be required to pay the JNR Registration Fee). We hope this does not deter anyone from attending the JNR Display Day and ensuring a world class display of Jaguar XJC and Daimler Coupes on the day.
