COVENTRY FOUNDATION

Classic Showcase has been hosting the Coventry Foundation's West Coast library and tool-loan program at our facility. The library hosts a collection of photos, Jaguar factory books, official Jaguar bulletins with serial number changes in production and dealership information, as well as many other reference materials. In addition, original factory Jaguar tools are setup for future use by Coventry Foundation Patrons and JCNA members.
