An English Jaguar Club with 70 cars and 120 participants from England, Scotland, Wales, France, Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg arrived at the Santa Monica Pier on Friday, October 10. Fulfilling a life-long dream, these 70 Jaguar aficionados have spent the last 16 days on the road traveling down the infamous Route 66. The cars were shipped from the UK to Chicago, where they began their journey. The final leg of their extraordinary trip culminates this Friday as they drive from Las Vegas to the Santa Monica Pier, where all 70 vintage cars and their owners will be welcomed in a celebratory reception.
