COVENTRY FOUNDATION

Preserving Jaguar® History

What's New?

Tom Krefetz, one of the directors of the Coventry Foundation, is pleased to announce a major new donation to the Foundation from a long-time Jaguar Club member and avid collector who decided to donate a beautiful Jaguar Mark 10 so it benefits the foundation and all it stands for. Because the Coventry Foundation is a non-profit organization, the donation will have a tax-deduction for the value of the car stated, and come off of the donator’s tax return. This is a win-win scenario for both the donator, as well as the Coventry Foundation. The Foundation accepts vehicles, memorabilia, parts, or monetary donations, and thanks everyone for donating to a worthy cause! Please visit the Coventry Foundation's website here.
