Jaguar Classic tour

Post by matteo68 »

At Scramble last weekend I got talking to Paul Raynes, JLR Classic UK Sales & Service Manager, who said he’d be pleased to offer us a late morning, mid-week tour of their JLR Classic facility at Ryton, Coventry including a light lunch afterwards.

They can accommodate up to 20 people and would not charge for this but suggested making a donation to a charity of our choice.

Is there any interest in this and if so, can those who are please say and then we can try and arrange a date next month or alternatively in December?

I'm up for it. Do I have to wear slippers and smoke a pipe though?

Ok. I think I will wait to see if there’s enough interest before suggesting a date actually.
