Inside the Jaguar Heritage collection

[Braintax]

I recently visited the British Motor Museum in Gaydon to take a look at Jaguar's Heritage Collection.

Shot a few pics while I was out there and thought I'd share for anyone who hasn't yet made the trip.

Jaguar's XJ220 concept vehicle complete with V12 in the back & (presumably) 4WD. Broadspeed's XJ12C racer, the Tom Walkinshaw XJS, C, D and E-types galore plus plenty of last of the line examples, specials for royalty e.t.c









Have a flick through all the pics here: https://revmatch.me/2016/12/06/jaguars-heritage-tr...

That's a pain in the b*m! Was there last Sunday, & was told the Jaguar building wasn't open! Thanks for the photos though, will have to go back...

Yes, the upstairs was closed during my visit, I think the majority of the vehicles up there were from British Leyland.

Thanks, some lovely pix there. I'd love to get a high res copy from you of the rear of the XJ13 which shows a wall poster.

Any chance?

Threespires, not sure I've got any more of the XJ13 but can easily get the one from that article over to you, just PM me your email and I'll get it sent across later on.

Cheers,

Oli

Drove NUB120 around Silverstone huge steering wheel, clunky gears, but such amazing feel and atmosphere and history tied up in a car...
