On April 10, Foshay B welcomed a total of about 40 members of the NCJOC and our neighboring colleagues of the Virginia Jaguar Club to view his astounding collection of Jaguars and other fine, collectible automobiles. The exquisitely sunny, mild spring day, with red-buds and dogwoods blooming in the countryside, provided an opportunity for Jaguar driving delights to members of the NCJOC and VJC as they converged on Foshay’s 1,000-acre estate and antebellum manse in the rural precincts of Culpeper, Virginia. The “receiving line” for our arrival consisted of about 25 late-model Jaguars arrayed along the driveway between the mansion and the horse paddock. In addition to these market-ready Jaguars, the large barn/garage area held close to 100 other collectible Mustangs and Camaros, several Ferrari’s, and an assortment of “stray cats” rescued from barns, fields and yards over the past 15 years. Foshay’s gifted reconstruction expert, Peter Hemingway, claims that Foshay never saw a Jaguar deal that he didn’t like, and he often buys two of each. This self-styled Noah of neglected and abused automobiles had arranged a double-line of forlorn Mustangs stretching up and over the hill behind the barn as if waiting to board some mythic mechanic’s ark to salvation. Unlike other collectors who aspire to maintaining car museums, Foshay’s approach is to rescue, rebuild and resell the favorites of the past. Thus, we were able to touch, open hoods and doors, sit in, and inspect many of the cars for sale. Foshay’s sales agent, Greg Butler, compiled for our visit a special brochure describing 35 Jaguars, and copies of that listing will soon be made available to NCJOC members. Foshay treated us all to a lunch of BBQ chicken/pork with the proper country fixings on the side, a wonderful selection of cheeses, and a selection of wine, beer and soft drinks. Club members spread among the wood-paneled rooms and the veranda to enjoy their repast, and to get acquainted with “friends they had not yet met” from each of our clubs. David Harrison, president of the VJC, declared that the event was the best yet collaboration between our two clubs. As a coda to the day in Jaguar country, 13 members from the NCJOC and VJC repaired to “Camp Camellia” where Sherman Taffel and Camellia hosted an evening dinner to celebrate our collaborative outing. Sherman provided a tour of the rustic-look/modern-finish log cabin and the art studio over which he has labored for the past three years. And, of course, we reviewed Sherman’s latest additions to his Jaguar/Jensen/Dodge collection housed in the quonset garage. Jaguaring back to home provided a smooth finish for the day.
