Jaguar experience day

Postby andypryce » Sat Sep 17, 2016 6:44 pm

Attended a Jaguar experience day today at MIRA test track near Nuneaton, a very kind gift. Drove a XK120, XK140, D type, C type and E type. Jaguar heaven! Thoroughly recommend it if you ever get the chance. New Christmas list for Santa now.....

So, from that menu -
Which was your favourite car to drive and why?
Which would you most like to take home with you (ignoring value, if you can)?

Well, probably the E Type for every day driveability, but I think I was biased by knowing that it once belonged to Mike Halewood....

The D Type a close second, but a day driving it would require a knee replacement as the clutch was so heavy! good fun though...
