RE: Jaguar 'Heritage Driving Experience' launched
Discussion
Could be worth it for the seriously rare stuff, but if you want to drive a Mk2 or an E-type, other classic car clubs and hire companies offer far better value for money and much greater freedom to use the cars on the road, take them on trips etc. Incidentally - this goes as much to PH's picture editor as anyone else - the E-type in the photo in the article, 77RW, the Geneva show star, remains in private hands in East Sussex, the same family (I think) who bought it from Jaguar when the firm was done with it. It is not part of the heritage collection, although it is periodically featured in articles, calendars and suchlike.

That car so needs a set of wide whites to look like it did at Geneva in '61

Absolutely not - those are awful! What were they thinking?!hackjo said:
Nice move Jag. Now work some of the heritage values back into your styling and we're looking good. Grace, space and pace. It's good to be evil.
You mean going back to the pre-Callum era and driving up the average age of Jaguar's customers? Not a good idea. Anyway, look at the current range of saloons - the grille is very similar to that on the 1968 XJ6.
