JAGUAR HERITAGE NEWS – MARCH 2014 REPORT The headline news this month is an exciting announcement about a new building project that will become the home for Jaguar Heritage and its vehicle collection in the first half of next year. There are also reports on some of the early season activities – photo shoots, shows, vehicle displays – and plans for later in the year. New Museum Collection Centre: We are pleased to announce plans for a new building on the Gaydon site in Warwickshire which will provide space to store and display more than 200 historic British cars from the reserve collections of both the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. The £4 million project has been under development for two years and has just been awarded a Round Two grant of £1.45 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF grant, together with match funding from Jaguar Land Rover, The Garfield Weston Foundation and both Trusts, will enable work on this exciting new project to begin in the very near future. The new Museum Collection Centre will enable visitors to view many cars from the reserve collections of both Trusts for the first time in a purpose-built facility. The building will also include a vehicle restoration and conservation workshop, space for enhanced education and lifelong learning programmes and office accommodation for all Jaguar Heritage staff – bringing the whole team back together again on the Gaydon site.
