Every Jaguar has a story worth telling.
Oncat is where a Jaguar's story gets told — and kept. Its restoration and its honours, the weekends spent under it, the photos worth keeping: one place for a car's whole life, that lasts.
About
I built Oncat because our cars deserve a proper home for their stories — for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts.
David Burgess
a Jaguar owner, and founder
Anyone who's owned a classic knows the drill: a folder of MOT certificates, a shoebox of receipts, photos scattered across three phones and a dead laptop. The story of the car — the restoration, the shows, the miles, the wins — lives everywhere and nowhere. When the car changes hands, most of it is gone.
Oncat is where it lives instead, and keeps on living. Everything you put into a Jaguar — the care, the record, the pride — gathered on one page that's finally worth showing off.
How far we've come, and where we're headed
No dates, on purpose. Milestones instead, ticked off as we reach them. This map changes as we learn.
Show off your Jaguar
DoneA place online that's truly your own: your garage, a page for every car, your photos and the story behind them — at your own address, oncat.app/you.
Your paperwork, done for you
DonePhotograph your receipts and MOTs and Oncat reads the details into your service history — the photo is never kept, so your personal details stay private.
Integrated with the DVSA
DoneOfficial data to make life easier and your showcase richer: your full MOT history appears on its own, and the figures reveal just how rare your Jaguar is.
Printable window card with QR code to your car
DoneSomeone stops to admire your Jaguar at a show — one scan of the card in the windscreen and it tells its own story: the history, the photos, the whole life behind it.
Your car, as a magazine
DoneA polished, magazine-style PDF of your Jaguar — its story, history and photos, laid out to print, email, or hand over with the car.
The season, together
DoneEvery club's events, gathered into one calendar: the whole show season, which of your friends are going, and the cars and people you follow. So you never miss a meet — or turn up on your own.
Getting it into owners' hands
Early days, and honest about it: getting Oncat into the hands of the first real Jaguar owners, and introducing it to the clubs.
Buy & sell, with trust
AheadBuy your next Jaguar knowing its whole life before you part with a penny, and sell to a genuine enthusiast — no scammers, no tyre-kickers. The documented history is the trust, and both sides are verified owners.
The history follows the car
AheadYour Jaguar's whole documented life can carry on to the next owner when you sell — logbook, receipts and all — but only if you choose to. It's always your call; you stay in control.
A dedicated mobile app
AheadA proper Oncat app, straight from the App Store and onto your home screen — faster and smoother, and it pings you the moment your car gets a follow, some kudos, or a friend posts.
The clubs on board
AheadThe ultimate platform for the Jaguar community — owners and club organisers, side by side. Built for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, with clubs as partners, never rivals. The door is wide open — come and build it with us.
The show comes alive
AheadShow day, alive in your hand: live results, Best in Show the moment it's announced, people's-choice voting and the running order — the whole event pulsing through the app, hand in hand with the organising club.
A proper parts marketplace
AheadThat part you've hunted for months, found at last — from someone who knows exactly what it fits. Buy, sell and swap the bits that keep our Jaguars on the road, all within the community.
The trade in your corner
AheadThe specialist who knows your model inside out, the restorer, the trimmer, the trusted indie garage — the whole trade that keeps these Jaguars alive, brought into the community. Find exactly the right people for your car.
And this is just some of what's ahead — a living map that keeps growing as we build, and as you tell us where to take it next.
What you can count on
The things that don't change, whatever the road ahead looks like.
Your data is yours
Export it, or leave, any time. No hostage-taking.
Private by default
You choose what is public, down to hiding your reg and your location.
We will never sell it
Not your details, not your car's history. Never to a data broker.
Clubs are partners
We attribute, we link, and we build with organisers, not against them.
No doomscroll
No vanity rankings, no engagement traps. We record real life.
Honest about money
When Oncat earns its keep, it will be from things that help you.
Want the detail — on privacy, your registration, blurring photos, or what happens when you sell? It's all in Help & answers.
“Are you oncat?”
Onca — as in Panthera onca, the jaguar. Run it together with cat and you get oncat: a name that's ours, that nods to the marque without borrowing it, and that carries across a noisy showground. The happy accident is that it also reads as on + cat — so give it a week and you'll be asking whether the car in the next row is oncat yet.
Come and build it with us.
Oncat is being built in the open, alongside the people who'll use it — and it's always moving. Start your own garage, or see what we've shipped lately.
Oncat is an independent project and is not affiliated with Jaguar Land Rover. The word “Jaguar” is used only to describe the cars we love. We build alongside the clubs and the wider community — never against them.
