PAUL WALTON • Paul remembers a forgotten F-TYPE

CRAIG CHEETHAM • Craig believes the X350 is on the verge of becoming one of the last true classic Jaguars

KEITH HELFET • The origins of the XJ-S

SIBLING RIVALRY • With the XJC in its model range, it could be argued Jaguar didn’t need a grand tourer. But as it turns fifty, was the XJ-S really a model misplaced?

POWER PLAY • By being relatively thirsty, expensive and only on sale for a couple of years, the 380PS version of the XE S has always been overlooked. We ask whether it’s time for that to change

Formula for success • Developed to mark Jaguar’s entry into the 2000 Formula 1 World Championship, the Silverstone was one of the best XKR-based limited editions

FRENCH FANCY • The XKR Silverstone wasn’t the only special edition sports car Jaguar named after a track. In 2021 it revealed the F-TYPE Reims Edition

Easy driver • Power steering, a servo assisted clutch and modern five-speed transmission have transformed this very early E-type into the perfect car for touring. But have the updates also removed its personality

NOT MEANT TO BE • Rumour suggests that Jaguar intentionally made the XJ40 engine bay too narrow for a V engine to force development of a new six. We examine the story of the car developed in spite of that.
