Mr Maitland, now an experienced mechanic, fell in love with Jaguars while repairing them as a teen in the UK.
“I started working on them when I was an apprentice and first drove an E-type when I was 19,” he said.
“I thought to myself I’d like one of these one day – it took quite a while but now I do.” Mrs Maitland said the Jaguar Car Club of WA met monthly at its Osborne Park headquarters and hosted a runs throughout the year.
“It’s a great family club with about 400 members, male and female,” she said.
The 50th anniversary display day is at Sir James Mitchell Park on October 30. Entry is free.
