fortunately security will be strong and such vehicles will be turned away or allowed to park in a suitable car park miles away how could you
Really looking forward to this I have a reserved spot for my XJ Sovereign LWB . Did you get any photos from the XK celebration?

we will walk the last mile! though I suspect that some won't be able to park directly on site due to numbers going...
sadly don't currently have a jag - though have owned several, and the nearest I have for JLR is the RR, but that is having the chassis restored, so not very driveable! I have three choices - M5 / Z3 or a Fergie tractor (I might need to set off now!)

Fortunately there as guests of Jaguar Classic, so I am sure we won't be thrown out... sadly no photos of XK 50 but was there helping with JDHT as it was then... lots of fun I remember...

Don't worry i'll vouch for you, I will be in a topaz LWB Sovereign 2005 I have manged to get a reserved spot with some Jagforum members. Say hello if you get the chance.

Emailed them the other day and it looks like there was some space over the road at SVO! Looking forward to this.

what a great day. XJ's from the 60's up to todays modern comparative models. The Jaguar Landrover Classic facility is just incredible.
Workshops you could easily have a leg amputated they are so clean and at the back of the Workshops a storage area with over 300 Cars from prototypes to a collection of Xj220's.

Indeed, a lovely day, managed to sneak in with the M5, spotted the topaz XJ, but no owner by it at the time! Highlight was the XKSS tucked away in a corner, Norman Dewes there with the XJ13 and then having fun spotting the various cars in the storage area that I have driven a good trip down memory lane and the SVO car park was full of some great cars, as only. Js were allowed into the Classic car park, it picked up all the e-types / XK 120s / f-type SVRs etc. (and an M5!)
