Cardiff Blues, Six Nations and a singing mechanic.

We have a big weekend of sport on the way, we start it off tonight by sponsoring the match ball at the Arms Park where the Cardiff Blues take on Connacht in the Pro12 with Lilli James, MD Mark James' daughter, being the official match mascot. We then move to Rome on Saturday where Wales take on Italy at Stadio Olimpico in the Six Nations. Good luck to both the Blues and Wales from James & Jenkins.
In other news we have had a productive first business meeting with the Cardiff Devils and are all looking forward to the move from the Big Blue Tent to the new Ice Rink due to be completed by the end of 2014, with coach Gerad Adams signing a new contract, the sky's the limit for the Devils.

If you've not had a chance to view our Valentine's video and you're looking for a chuckle over the weekend look no further than the Utube link below, just a bit of fun from some of the staff at James & Jenkins and The Blims, it is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. More importantly a Blims fan has already bought a brand new Chrysler Ypsilon !

Have a great weekend and see you next week for St. Davids' Day...

Busy times at James and Jenkins

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:11:52 +0000

January was a busy month at James & Jenkins this year, with the snow and ice causing the country to grind to a halt, we ploughed on with business as usual with prominent displays at the McClains' Cardiff XCountry challenge and at The Big Blue Tent with The Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey Team. Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Chrysler Ypsilon received great attention at both events. As we cross into February rugby fever has taken over James & Jenkins as the Six Nations rolls in to town with the opening game of the 2013 tournament held in Cardiff. Who do you think will win this year?

Proud to be British - What a Summer

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:39:48 +0000

Wow, what a summer it has been for all of us. Olympic success both competitively and as an event, The Royal Jubilee, Tour de France victory and true British grit though an shocking "summer" of weather.

We @ James & Jenkins have been at it too..... with appearances at The Vale of Glamorgan Show in August, the Launch of our stunning new Chrysler 300C at Cottrell Park Golf Club in June, and a display at the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay to coincide with the Wales Rally GB. Both the Ypsillon and 300C were displayed at this very popular venue as the World's finest Rally Cars assembled all arround Cardiff's Waterfront.

New Chrysler 300C

Mon, 28 May 2012 13:10:48 +0100

The All New 300C has a pedigree unlike any other and puts into practice everything that made Chrysler a legend. This is the type of legitimate luxury and unflinching performance that you deserve. Low-slung and standing tall.
