President’s Mewsings January 2015
Happy New Year everyone.
Writing this column on New
Yea'rs Day is my first official task as President of the Delaware Valley Jaguar Club. My
second official task is to welcome Alex Giacobetti (one of the oldest active members of
the club) as Vice President and Bill Beible as
Treasurer and to thank Clara Saxton
(Secretary), Ann Perry (Membership Director), Mike Wolf (Director), and Rich Rosen
(Director) for staying on in their respective
positions. Most of all, thanks are in order for
Charlie Olson, who served as President for
the better part of the last decade and who I
am sure will remain a key member of the
club.
I am looking forward to a very active year
with the club which will include celebrating
our 50th anniversary and hosting the Jaguar
Clubs of North America (JCNA) Annual
General Meeting (AGM). Recommended
Reading: The November/December 2014 issue of the Jaguar Journal has an article about
the AGM written by our own Clara Saxton.
The January/February 2015 edition will have
the second installment.
Mike Tate has done a great job of organizing
the 50th Anniversary Party scheduled for
January 18, 2015 (see page 5 in this issue for
the flyer), including a wonderful collection of
auction items and one of our founding members, Frank Weikel, as guest speaker. YOU
MUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE FOR THIS
EVENT so do not hesitate; the party is just
over two weeks away as I write this column.
Charlie and I have co-chaired a very active
AGM committee (Alex Giacobetti, Clara
Saxton, Ann Perry, Kurt Rappold, Mike Tate,
Bill Beible, and Gerry Kunkle) in preparation
for the event that will span March 19 – 21,
2015. The host hotel for the AGM is the
The Jaguar’s Purr
January 2015
Sheraton Society Hill on Dock Street, right in
the heart of the Philadelphia Historic District.
Please take a look at the flyer on page 9 and
the registration form on page 10. Registration will open on Thursday, March 19 at
2:00pm. The business activities will kick off
with a Directors Meeting on Friday March 20
at 8:00am. The social/technical activities will
kick off on Friday March 20 with two tech
sessions (at 3:00pm and 4:00pm) followed by
a Welcome Party at the Simeone Foundation
Museum on Friday evening at 7:00pm. The
Welcome Party will feature a tour of the museum, a display of about twenty club cars, a
Philly style dinner, and maybe a surprise visit
by something distinctly Philadelphia in nature. Transportation from and to the host hotel is included. The business meeting for the
delegates will be held on Saturday from
9:00am until 3:00pm, followed by two more
tech sessions at 3:00pm and 4:00pm. A
cocktail reception and silent auction starts at
5:30pm Saturday, followed by the Awards
Banquet at 6:30pm.
The Keynote Speaker at the Awards Banquet
will be Kim McCullough, Vice President of
Marketing for Jaguar/Land Rover North
America. The committee is actively seeking
sponsors and donors to help offset the cost of
the event since the registration fees cover
only a fraction of the costs. Without sponsors and donors, the registration fees would
be prohibitively expensive for delegates and
guests. If you have a small business and
would like some exposure at the event
through a sponsorship or if you simply want
to help the cause with a donation, please contact one of the DVJC officers or directors for
sponsorship or donation information. Contact information is available on page 3.
Charlie will continue to chair the Concours
d’Elegance at the Oakbourne Mansion as part
Page 7
President’s Mewsings January 2015 (cont’d.)
of the Cars and Motorcycles of England
Show on Saturday, May 30, 2015. While we
will continue with our competitive driving
events (slaloms and rallies), I want to have
more low-key driving activities that allow us
to get the cars out for relaxing social events.
Tours and Gimmick Rallies (there are many
forms of these) that challenge your observation skills rather than driving skills may bring
out more members.
Recruiting and retaining new members is our
biggest challenge as an affiliate club of the
JCNA. Recently we have gotten a bump in
membership through the Great Britains dealership. They are including a club membership with every new Jaguar they sell. That
has a short shelf-life unless we are proactive
in attempting to retain them as members. I
plan to personally call every new member
and welcome them to the club. Part of the
conversation will be to promote the advantages of membership, including the opportunity to make new friends, enjoying the use of
their car for social and driving events, subscription to the JCNA Jaguar Journal and The
Purr, and access to technical information and
experts. I feel that the effort will be success-
ful if we retain one-half of the new members
after their first year of membership.
The club officers will be meeting on January
17 (the day before the 50th Anniversary
Party) to suggest and plan programs for 2015.
I will keep you appraised in future columns
as the plans develop. In the meantime, plan
to attend our Breakfast Socials at Andy’s
Diner in Conshohoken which generally occur
on the third Sunday of the month (see page
16 for the schedule).
It will be an exciting year IF we make it so
by participating, volunteering, and communicating. Obviously taking part in and helping
to organize events keeps the club alive and
vital. Communicating ideas about what turns
you on as a club member will keep the club
progressive - the more suggestions we have
from our members the more effective we can
be in making the Delaware Valley Jaguar
Club enjoyable for all.
Be Happy. Drive safe. It’s a Jaguar kind of
day.

Michael Smyth, President and Chief Operating Officer
of The Great Britains Automotive Group, recently met
with Cyrus Mistry, the new Chairman of Tata Group,
the owners of Jaguar Land Rover. Mike Tate has commented on numerous occasions in The Roving Reporter
about the wonderful things Tata Group has done for our
favorite marque. We also appreciate all the things Michael Smyth and his organization do to support our
club.

SO IT’S PARTY TIME AND
THE CLUB HAS NEW OFFICERS
Thank you so very much to all those who answered my request for donations for the two Silent
Auctions. One auction at our Party on January 18
and the second at the JCNA AGM in MARCH.
All proceeds go to our club funds. I NOW HAVE
OVER 100 ITEMS. But do not stop donating as
March is two months away,
At the December breakfast meeting , which had a
record attendance of 33 members and 20 Jaguars,
I was overwhelmed by the generosity of member’s
donations. Thank you! Also they combined to
vote unanimously for the slate of officers for 2015
-16 as presented in the December Purr.
This means we have a new President, Paul Merluzzi and Vice President Alex Giacobetti to lead
us into 2015 together with new Treasurer Bill Bieble and with Clara Saxton( Secretary), Ann Perry,
(Director of Membership), Rich Rosen and Mike
Wolf (Both Directors) remaining in their current
positions.
Charlie Olson did not contest the vote but will
remain as Chairman for our hosting of the JCNA
AGM in March and Chair of our 2015 Concours.
I plan to work with Charlie so that I can write an
article for the Purr acknowledging his time as
President of our club. Also I would like to produce an article introducing our new President and
Vice President and this will be done. We will also
be saying goodbye to Gerry Kunkle as Treasurer
who has been a most valuable member of the Executive team. Gerry is so knowledgeable about
Jaguar and travels extensively to attend and participate in meetings all over the USA & Canada..
Thank you for all the work you have done for the
club and we look forward to continue receiving
your valuable input as a club member
Now more on the club’s party. The STAR PRIZE
you can bid for is ONE WEEK’S USE OF THE
NEW F – TYPE donated by Main Line Jaguar.
What a treat to have one for a full week. Tak Papariello (GM Main Line) and his wife Lyn will be
there to congratulate the winner. So bring cash
and your check books to win, I am including a list
of items to be auctioned and I have yet to make
the split of which items will appear at which auction. You will see there are many exciting and
unusual items to win. If you see something specific you would like to bid for let me know and I
will make sure it’s there.
What a momentous weekend starting Saturday 1213-14 turned out to be (that consecutive date
won’t be seen again for Eons). I look forward to
seeing you at the William Penn Inn. So far 68
members have paid and signed up and I expect to
see the final number about 80 as many members
leave it to the last minute. I will be submitting our
head count about a week in advance of the event
STOP PRESS
In Queen Elizabeth 2nd New Years Honors List
Norman Dewis (94), Jaguar’s world renowned test
driver and ambassador, has been awarded the Order Of The British Empire (OBE) for services to
the motor industry. There is not much of the Empire left but it is a very nice honor for Norman.
By the way I am sure the Queen would like it spelt
“honour” as per the English dictionary!
The new 007 film Spectre features a special Aston DB10. Also a number of specially and
uniquely prepared Range Rover Sport were
parked in a JLR parking lot in Germany waiting
for shipment for filming when they were stolen. I
have to wonder if the “Bad Guys” were involved
to get a leg up on James??
My best wishes to you all for 2015.

When is a Jaguar a Jaguar?
by Bob “Where’s Bob” De Lucia
While on a recent trip to the UK and
the Classic Motor Show at the NEC center
in Birmingham, I had a
chance to talk to members of the "The Daimler
and Lanchester
Owners' Club", one of many
clubs in the Jaguar section of the hall. I always
wondered about my
1991 Jaguar XJ6 VandenPlas, and some particularly odd badging on
it. I had a discussion
about
the
"dimples"
above my grill (which I
later found out I was
misstating and were
known as "flutes"), and
above the boot opening.
And that when I lift up
my heavy-duty driver's
side floor mat, and the
original Jaguar driver's
side mat, that underneath it is another mat,
that clearly is printed
"Daimler". Hmmm, a
mystery.
After discussion
with the Daimler club
member "expert", we
discovered that supposedly my XJ6 was actually a Daimler XJ40
Large Saloon, that was
exported to the US. The
XJ40 was manufactured
between 1986 and 1994.
Because
of
that decade's (1991) Mercedes-Daimler
branding in the US, the UK Daimler (part of
Jaguar British Leyland at that time) could
The Jaguar’s Purr
January 2015
not be branded a Daimler in the US for legal reasons. He also stated that the Daimler XJ40 Large Saloon
was an upgraded version
of the 1991 Jaguar XJ6
VandenPlas, with a few
more luxury items. Based
on a book called "Daimler
Century" by Lord Montagu it says that "in the
US British Leyland used
the "VandenPlas" designation on its flagship
models, with the odd result that cars that were
recognizably
Daimlers,
with fluted radiator shells
and number plate housings were sold as "Jaguar
VandenPlas" models."
Still a mystery as
even though limited, everything
is
branded
"Jaguar"....the
engine,
back-panel with "Jaguar"
and "VandenPlas", door
jams with "Jaguar" and a
leaper on the steering
wheel, and the rearconsole. Even a leaper
on the hood, which looks
like it may have been
added when imported to
the US (not unusual,
even later XK8's, etc.,
have had that added).
So, the question still remains....When is a Jaguar a Jaguar? Or just an
"odd" combination? Or should I be looking
for a US version of the Daimler club, and
entering in British car shows as a Daimler!
