Terry McGrath Torques Imports

JCCWA Clubrooms,

Opening at 16.00 Friday 22^nd November 2024,

finishing at around 18.30

It is a credit to the JCCWA that one of our staunchest members, a receiver of the 50-year membership award, is regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on all things Jaguar. His collection begins in 1938 with his SS100 and is as up to date as you can get with his 2024 purchase. Terry has worked patiently and hard, like grasshopper, and so no jealousy should be attributed to achievements. Certainly, it would be a rare person who did not feel some envy for the social, physical and intellectual assets that he has stored away wisely over the years. Terry has written books, which intimately detail the veracity and history of a variety of Jaguar marques. That Perth has more Jaguars per capita than any other city in the world, and some of the best, may be attributed, in part, to Terry’s dedication to seeing them reside in WA, no matter where they live now.

This is by no means lacking loyalty to our worthy sponsors, Roadbend Jaguar.  Roadbend offer the security of a solid reputation based on clients buying sight unseen marques, and that they are around the corner in the rare instance that you may require them. Importing is a completely different gamble and is not for the average punter. I’ve dabbled twice myself.

Terry will take us through the procedure, from locating possibilities through to going off on your first club event on concessional registration, on any classic, not just Jaguar. The evening promises to be one of history, anecdotal reminisces and solid cold hard fact, guaranteed to make one consider well, this adrenaline fuelled activity opposed by the reality of failure, not a word in Terry’s dictionary.

As usual, rigorous debate is encouraged.

Consideration of a travelling Toolbox meeting occurring on 20 December 2024 to view an exact replica C Type Jaguar. This would be in Gooseberry Hill and requires your consideration prior to my booking the event.

JCCWA Visit to SASR Museum – An Event You Won't Want to Miss!

Members, start your engines and dust off your driver’s license! The JCCWA is excited to invite you on a top-secret mission—uh, we mean a visit—to the SASR Military Collection Museum at Campbell Barracks, Swanbourne, on Wednesday, 27th November.

We’ll kick things off with an optional breakfast at Hamptons Bar & Grill (179 Challenger Parade, City Beach) from 7:45am. They’ve got a breakfast menu that’s more extensive than your Jag’s service history! Just remember, no split bills, so bring some cash or be ready to do some quick math's. After fueling up, we’ll hit the road for a scenic drive along the coast, turning into Campbell Barracks in full Jaguar convoy style. Click on Hamptons to view the breekie menu. 

Make sure you’re parked by 10am because, much like a high-security pit stop, Major Greg Mawkes will be checking visitor lists and issuing wristbands. Don’t forget your photo ID (driver’s license or passport) or you’ll be stuck in the visitor car park admiring your Jag while we head in.

Leave your gadgets, backpacks, and paparazzi dreams in the car—no photos allowed inside. But don’t worry, Major Mawkes will take a nice group shot for us, so you can prove to your mates that you were actually there.

The tour will cost you a mere $10 (a bargain for such an elite operation) and can be paid through Wild Apricot when you register. For those of you who love a good souvenir, the Museum shop will be open, accepting both cash and card—because who doesn’t want a memento from a military adventure?

If you’re feeling under the weather, do us all a favour and stay home to avoid any unwanted detours to the doctor. Got questions? Ian and Michele Muir are your go-to contacts at 0423 918 030.

So, polish up the Jag, grab your ID, and get ready for a day of military history, Jaguar camaraderie, and just maybe... a little bit of top-secret fun. See you there!
Regards,
Ian & Michele Muir
