This is the first part of a two-part celebration, the other being in Germany in September 2026 (see other Facebook event or the XJ40 Register website).We are bringing XJ40 home for its 40th birthday in partnership with the wonderful people of Coventry MotoFest.
Saturday 6th June 2026:
A static display day in the heart of the city, focused in an around the historic Coventry Cathedral. The XJ40’s will be at the centre of the MotoFest festivities at this superb location.
On the evening of the Saturday, there will be a gala dinner at the Guildhall, and spaces for this are limited to a set number, so booking will need to be done quite quickly if you want to come. BOOKING IS NOW OPEN for this, please e-mail me (my contact details on this website) and I will send you all the info you need.
Sunday 7th June 2026:
A driving day to a location I am currently working on. The plan will be to get out on the road, convoy with the cars, and get to a location where we can spend and enjoyable day that will be entertaining for you and your family. Details hopefully coming very soon.
For those staying overnight in the Coventry area on the Saturday, such as myself, we have found that there is a Take That concert now on at the same time, which has made hotel booking a bit harder, and a bit costlier in the centre. So, what a group of us have done is to book the Friday and the Saturday night at the following hotel;
Forest of Arden, Maxstoke Lane, Bickenhill, CV7 7HR - find the hotel on booking.com where prices are a bit more competitive than on the hotel's main website!
If you are planning to join this event, please let me know. It sadly won’t be a case of showing up on the day with no warning, as I need to plan for space, numbers and facilities. And please don’t delay on hotel arrangement, as rooms are booking up fast!
I will be updating the event as time goes on, and of course will be updating the events section at www.xj40register.com
Many thanks, and lets make this event one to remember!
