The 2017 National Jaguar Rally was held in Port Stephens between Friday and Monday, drawing more than 250 of the cars to the area.

The four-day rally consisted of a conference, socialising, a public display day and a hillclimb.

While the hotspot to see a Jaguar was Shoal Bay, where many rally participants were staying, Nelson Bay was the centre of activity on Saturday.

A display day was held in Fly Point Park. 

The public was invited to stroll through the park and get up close with the Jaguars on show.

Some Jaguar models on display was from as early as 1940. 

There was one 2017 model Jaguar in the mix, too.

A concours d'elégance, referring to the gathering of prestigious cars, was held during the display day. A panel of judges looked at a number of cars, and critiqued them.

The more competitive rally participants took part in a hillclimb at Ringwood Motorsports Complex on Sunday.

Also open to the public, Jaguar owners ran their cars around the track in a bid to clock the fastest time.

Other activities rally participants took part in was a pirate-theme party aboard Moonshadow Cruises on Saturday night and a presentation dinner Sunday night.

The rally was anticipated to inject an estimated $377,000 into the region’s economy.
