No, but it is a great circuit. Is that a Jaguar manufacturers event or a Jag enthusiast day?

Had my XK150 on there a number of times. Loads of fun.

I got an invite to this but when I enquired about the format was told that you wouldn't have any track time other than with an instructor in their cars so not a track day but sure it would be good fun though.

I had the invite but I'm off to Paris on business this week so knew I couldn't make it mad

Also won the Sunday Times tickets for Goodwood FOS Friday but still in Paris furious

Jag are going to start charging £250 a go, so an email from them said. I've been to a few and enjoyed them immensely, but not something I'd pay that much to do.....

They had 3 parked up, but no invites for any test drives. They looked good in the flesh, especialy the red one. Looks like the 75th theme carries on to the pricing- they start @ £75k. Could of done a bit more with the interior to give a little more wow factor.

XKR 75 is only available in Stratus Grey, so wonder what the ones you saw were? Maybe the ones with the 'Speed Pack'?

The XKR 75 is £85,500. The regular XKR is £75,500 in coupe form. In practice though the difference is likely to be a lot bigger because they probably won't discount the 75.
