Another one from Hampton Court is this, the 1952 XK120 'Jabbeke'.
Another great one which I don't have a digital photograph of is the 1961 Owen Jaguar Special.

I took this one of Guy Broad's car before it went to Jabbeke. I think he managed to do 182mph on a run.Another great one which I don't have a digital photograph of is the 1961 Owen Jaguar Special.

I assumed the Jabekke runs referred to were in the 1950s. That's a much more recent shot. Was the 182mph run a recent thing? https://www.flickr.com/photos/50652805@N05/4862327...

At least they ARE Jaguars - some of the posts so far have been cars that are simply powered by Jag engines, which isn't the same thing IMHO. (Lister-Jaguar, Ronart).

You missed the HWM and the Coopers too. Sorry to be pedantic about your pedantry. Pedantry rules......
The Jaguar Special built by Rixon Bucknall is still a Jaguar because it retains the Jaguar chassis (or much of it) as well as the engine, and has simply been rebodied. Ditto the Ghia and Michelotti creations.

That has to comply along with this one:-

I remember reading about the Railton in a magazine article many years ago.
