JANE Concours d'Elegance Celebration

The 2025 JANE Concours d’Elegance celebration will take place at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn on August 9, 2025. The Inn’s property includes many historic sites including a Grist Mill that was built by Henry Ford; the 1798 Redstone School; the Martha-Mary Chapel; and an early 1800s barn.

For those who have not yet participated, you are in for a wonderful treat. You will meet many who share your passion for Jaguars and can share their deep knowledge of the cars with you.

Friday arrivals can start the weekend celebration with a cocktail reception in the Inn’s Hospitality Room with fellow enthusiasts beginning at 6 p.m.

Per last year’s new policy, other British Marques are welcome to register for display only.

This year, cars for sale will be welcomed in the Display area. A single, discrete For Sale sign may be placed on the car.

On Saturday, August 9, JANE Chief Judge Aldo Cipriano will preside over a Certified Judging Team in strict adherence to JCNA regulations, with final scores officially documented. All Jaguars, regardless of condition, are welcome to compete or to be exhibited for display. Just like their owners, many Jaguars have an interesting history to shared. Sitting back in the shade, or in the sun, while enjoying the camaraderie is a delightful way to spend a summer afternoon.

An assortment of items will be offered through a “Silent Auction” during the afternoon, which will be followed by several items in a “Live Auction.” Sue Holden (holden.snh@gmail.com) looks forward to receiving items you wish to donate for either auction format. All funds earned through the auctions will help to maintain JANE events. We look forward to seeing you and bidding on your generous donations.

Following the awards ceremony, a buffet dinner will be available in the Inn for anyone who wishes to extend the day’s activities with additional Jaguar enthusiasts.  

Anyone seeking overnight lodging may consider the Wayside Inn, 978-443-1776, or the nearby Fairfield Inn by Marriott, 978-443-2223 and ask for the negotiated Jaguar Association rate.

PLEASE NOTE: Per JCNA Concours rules, all Jaguars registered for the competition must display the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Although we welcome certified service animals, please keep dogs (even really cute pups that I want to pet) away from the show field and tent.  Thank you.

Limited trailer and tow vehicle parking will be available adjacent to the show field.
