Progressive is an insurance company that sells car insurance. They’re saying you might pay less if you combine your car and home insurance and compare prices online.
Bundling means getting your home and car insurance from the same company. Sometimes that earns you a discount, but it depends on where you live and your plan.
JLR stands for Jaguar Land Rover, the parent company that oversees Jaguar and Land Rover. The segment notes that JLR’s people got in touch, implying official support or involvement for the Jaguar-focused event.
Company
Heritage Trust
A Heritage Trust is an organization that helps preserve history. In this case, it sounds like they’ll be contributing classic-car history or related items to the Jaguar event.
Daimler is another old British car brand with a long history. They’re mentioning it alongside Jaguar heritage groups, likely because it connects to Jaguar’s past.
“Fireside chats” is an informal interview/discussion style—usually relaxed, conversational, and often focused on stories rather than formal presentations. In this segment, it’s used to describe conversations with Jaguar-world guests.
A “continuation” car is basically a modern build of an old, famous model. It’s made to recreate the original car’s design and feel, even though it wasn’t built back then.
They’re talking about the Jaguar XJR-15, a very rare Jaguar supercar made for the track. Because only a small number exist, it’s a big deal for collectors.
The Jaguar CX75 was a supercar concept Jaguar teased that looked incredible. They’re saying it’s the one they wish had actually happened.
Concept
workshop... lots of very secret things
The segment implies a curated, access-controlled workshop environment where rare customer cars and sensitive projects are stored. In classic-car contexts, this often means preservation, restoration work, and sometimes prototype or heritage parts that aren’t publicly displayed.
“Series 2” is the next version after Series 1. It usually means the car got updated, so it’s important for identifying the exact car you’re looking at.
Wikipedia is being used as a stand-in for a comprehensive reference source to verify the full list of Jaguar and Daimler models. The joke/idea is that they want someone to “check that off” every model in order.
The Jaguar SS100 is an early Jaguar sports car from the late 1930s. It was made for driving fast and looking sporty. People mention it because it’s one of the earliest famous Jaguars.
This phrase frames the event as spanning multiple eras of the marque—classic cars from earlier decades, current models, and what’s coming next. It’s a common way car communities describe marque-focused gatherings that honor heritage while staying forward-looking.

Hello, and welcome to this emergency podcast.
We come to you from Bonex in Scotland, from sunny London,
from sunny, I suspect, Hertfordshire, but also, most importantly, Chris Cooper, who is a Jaguar classic.
We're here to announce an emergency, a positive emergency about our event on the 23rd of May.
Chris Cooper, take it away.
So, we have the greatest celebration of Jaguar, I think, and I hope there's ever been, certainly his or two.
We want to gather the people, the cars, the personalities, the fun, the celebration of Jaguar, the mark.
We're going to hold an abyssal motion on a Saturday, 23rd of May.
It's going to be like a scramble for Jaguars.
It's the fourth scramble of the year at Bista.
That's what we're going to do.
Neil will fill in some of the details and so forth, but we've announced it.
At the point we announced it, the very nice people at JLR, Jaguar Land Rover, got in touch.
The global PR, the people here from Jaguar Classic, look what's behind me.
I mean, I'll give you a look at a show around in a moment.
Jaguar, Daimler, Heritage Trust, they all hopefully going to bring some wonderful stuff.
I'll show you some of it here.
We're going to be there.
We're going to have two podcasters in the day.
We're going to be doing some Q&A.
We'll have some fireside chats with some really wonderful, lovely people from the Jaguar world.
It's going to be amazing.
Neil.
Well, I think we all have such deep love for the brand that we all felt that it would be great
just to get as many people together as possible a completely inclusive celebration of Jaguar.
Actually, our little secret goal, which is obviously now not secret, is we want to try to get 1,000 Jaguars in one place.
We're asking everyone to bring a cake, ideally homemade, a flask of tea.
We're going to be giving out awards throughout the day, both for Jaguars and cakes.
As Chris says, we're going to get four or five amazing Jaguar people together with a sofa and a mug of tea
to be able to celebrate and chat about and just whimsically talk about this amazing brand that we all do love.
I'm sitting here in a Jaguar.
Yes, so it's going to be a tremendous day.
We're going to hopefully do some interesting little podcasts, but more importantly, everyone's going to be joyful.
Everyone's going to be happy.
We're going to be looking at 500-quid Jaguars and 10 million-pound Jaguars and everything in between
and hopefully give some lovely awards out for beautifully homemade fruit cakes, including us.
Chris, what's on the ground there at Jaguar Classic?
Can you give us a few little wonderful cars and some vision?
Is that an XKSS?
Down here, we have one of the extraordinary XKSS continuation cars, the Steve McQueen car.
It's just the coolest car in the world.
If we ask very nicely, I think we can get them to bring this.
Lots of things here as well.
So just look at that.
Look at that.
We've already got, haven't we?
We've already got D-Types, C-Types, lots of XK220s.
We really need to get, it would be wonderful to get every single type of Jaguar that's ever been made, every model in one place.
That would be cool.
I'd like to see the three great TV straight media Jaguars there.
So you've already done Steve McQueen's car, but I'd like to see Gambit's red XJS.
I'd like to see Ian Ogleby's return of the same white XJS.
And we've got to get Morse's Jag there as well.
Got to get it.
Yeah, we should.
And don't forget Steeds XJ12C.
Yeah.
Yes.
I think we've tracked that down.
I think we know where that is.
So I think that would be super fun to have one of these XJR15s.
How many XJR15s were made?
There's a lovely lady here from Jaguar Classic.
How many XJR15s were made?
53.
53.
Wow.
This is a lovely customer's car, but we've got one very similar to that.
Hopefully a couple of those coming.
Is there a 220 there somewhere, Chris?
I'll go and find one.
Yeah, there will be.
There was this thing, the CX75, the one that got away.
Yeah.
That's unbelievably sort of lovely.
So I'm not allowed, there's a workshop through here,
which has got lots of very secret things in it.
Lots of customers, lovely cars in it.
It just looks at the windows.
So the lovely people from Jaguar Classic
and from JLR themselves have said,
basically, we'll bring what we can.
So it'll be some cars that have never really been seen in public
as part of our wonderful day.
So I have to say, I've been here a little bit before we started recording.
It's just extraordinary.
And I walked in and saw the C-type, the D-type, and the SKSS.
It's just, it's the stuff our dreams and childhoods were made of.
And there's some lovely stuff over here.
There's an original XKR.
Look at that.
Gorgeous.
Well, that's good.
Is that Series 1 or Series 2?
That's the Series 1 there.
Yeah.
And then the Series 2 here.
So Manish, a very, very nice gentleman who helps run this place,
said, if you and I want to come up sometime in the next few weeks,
they'll show us around the collection and you and I can choose a car
that we can arrive in on the day.
Oh, my days.
Goodness me.
Isn't that just unbelievable?
Yeah, that is unbelievable.
Well done, Mr Chris at Jaguar.
Yeah, so I'm so excited.
I can't, just seeing everything here,
which is going to be a fraction of what we have in our day,
it's just Christmas when you're 11 years old.
I'll tell you what, it's Christmas when you're 58 as well.
Look at that.
Is Mr Harris bringing his Jaguar?
I'm bringing my Daimler and my Jaguar will be there as well.
I'm aware I've just dropped out there.
Can I ask one thing in my absence there?
Did you discuss the cake component of this event?
No, you need to do that.
We did touch on it, Chris,
but I think it would be good to just discuss it a little more.
I think we should put it out there that we are open to sponsorship
for this event by any cake company
that might think that their wares would be welcome there.
I'm not mentioning anything here at all.
For those of you that haven't got the visual aspect of this,
I'm holding up a well-known Apple Pie brand
that's available from all good cake retailers.
So if any cake companies would like to sponsor us,
then we are open to approaches.
I fancy myself as a bit of a chef.
I am going to bake a hell of a Chris Harrison friend's cake.
I promise you that.
Good.
Good.
So I think Jaguar Classic,
if you've got any car that you want to bring,
of course we want to have all Jaguars there.
If you have a business that is involved in selling bits for Jaguars,
we'd love to have you there.
So please get in contact.
We want to demonstrate the depth of the Jaguar
and Daimler community in the UK.
That's a serious message.
Chris, I was discussing whether we could try to get
every model of Jaguar and Daimler there.
If you could try to Wikipedia and check that off
all the way from what?
What's the first one?
SS100?
Yes.
All the way to whatever it was,
the last good one, Project 8.
You know, SS100 was in Danger UXB,
so it's another media Jaguar, that one.
Anthony Andrews wrote it.
There you go.
And this on a personal note, I'm sure Neil was saying,
if anyone's got a Jaguar that was owned by the late Alan Clarke,
I'd love to have it there as well.
I think it would be...
I'd love to have an ex-Alan Clarke Jaguar there,
particularly your C or D type.
Yep, yep, yep.
There will be a limit, there will be exclusive,
only to be sold on that one day merchandise.
I'm not giving you any clues, but...
I think it's quite impressive.
You look like an astronaut.
You do look like a mission specialist.
Well, what's this?
I'm going to put this on the bonus in Canill Railway, lads.
I can't...
I'm afraid we've got to do what we've got to do with it.
Here we go.
Hold that up, lads.
Hold that cap for me there, go on.
Please, hold that hat for me there.
Look at that.
Thank you.
Cup of tea there.
That's all.
Oh, superb.
There we go, boys and girls.
Oh, that's good.
No, I'm joking.
So, I probably should have been sideways there.
Anything to add?
I just think we want every Jaguar.
We want everyone that's involved in the Jaguar community.
This is a celebration of the past, the present and the future.
Jaguar themselves have been really helpful.
So, they're on board to bring your cars.
It's going to be good fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
We will be...
Bring tea, bring happiness, bring smiles.
We'll bring the sunshine.
It will be a wonderfully funny, humorous day
where we're just falling in love
and emphasise our love, I suppose,
for Jaguar and Daimler.
And all things Jaguar and Daimler.
I'm going to have to ring off now
because the lads are coming in for lunch.
So, it's Chris Cooper.
Thank you so much for being on the ground.
Well done.
Managed to be up in the air.
Neil, thank you for being in your project eight.
And I'm sorry that I have completely ball-starved
that emergency podcast, but that's what I'm here to do.
Yeah, you made it better.
Yeah, you did.
Bye-bye.
Cheers.

About this episode
A chaotic-but-joyful “emergency” announcement centers on a Jaguar celebration at Bicester Heritage on Saturday, May 23. Chris Harris & friends rally the Jaguar/Daimler community to bring their cars (and homemade cake) for Q&As, fireside chats, and awards—aiming for 1,000 Jaguars in one place. Jaguar Classic and JLR promise rare, rarely seen cars, including highlights like an XKSS continuation (Steve McQueen’s car), D-Types, C-Types, XK220s, and more. The hosts also invite cake sponsorship and dream about assembling every Jaguar model, from SS100 to Project 8.
