About 30 Jaguars from 1947 through to 2015 aligned the Broadgreen grounds on Sunday for the biennial Jags in the Park, hosted by the Nelson Jaguar Drivers Club.
President John Eales says more than 100 people attended, and members of the club, which has roughly 82 families involved, were “very proud” of their vehicles which showcase the art of performance.
“People admire the cars, and occasionally we pick up new members from the display,” he says. “A lot of people always wanted to own a jaguar, and now they can look at them.
“They’re not that expensive, especially the more modern ones would be around $18,000.”
Club member Graeme King says Jaguars suited drivers like him who won’t put up with noisy Ford vehicles.
“They really stand out, and I personally have had people make comments on how lovely my car is when you’re driving down the road,” he says.
“They’re a luxury car and yet they’re also affordable.”
