    Unrestored Jaguars
    One of my favourite possessions is a genuine Victorinox Swiss Army knife in British Racing Green that was given to me during the 2001 E-type tour to Geneva that celebrated the 40th anniversary of the iconic car’s debut at the Swiss town. Not only doe

    Owning Them…
    Both the Rover and the Daimler enjoy superb parts support, the Daimler having the slight edge thanks to its Jaguar base. One thing that will take the edge off the ownership experience though is body rot and in the case of the Daimler this can get pre

    Buying Guide Jaguar Mk2
    The profile of the Jaguar Mk2 has been raised above and beyond similar Jaguar models of the Sixties thanks to bank robbers and television programmes such as Inspector Morse. Consequently, abandoned projects and tatty imports rarely sell for less than

    Starting Point
    If you also read our sister title Jaguar World, you’ll know I’m looking to replace my errant Range Rover L322 with an X350 as a modern everyday car. Something economical for long distance cruising between features. So naturally, what I’ve done is buy

    Moors The Merrier
    The North York Moors is one of my favourite places within the British Isles. As a Lancastrian, that is tough to admit and, having relocated to the eastern side of the Pennines, I had better hope that none of the local villagers read this admittance a

    Third Time Lucky

    TRIED & TESTED SMOOTH OPERATOR
    By the end of its production life the XJS didn’t exactly look up to the minute any more. It was an anachronism, a car bought by eccentrics out of choice rather than by those looking to flash the cash. If you think of it as a cut price Bristol, you’re

    Not Invented Here
    AIthough the Daimler and Rover brands may both be defunct today, both were significant forces in the early days of the car industry, with Daimler producing its first car in 1897 and Rover moving from two wheels to four shortly afterwards in 1904. Bot

    Technical Handbrake Maintenance

    Svo: The X300s That Weren't

    Cat With Claws
    What is it we love about the Jaguar Mk2? At 65 years old we love it more than ever. To several generations it has a history, it’s been Dad’s car, a police car, a getaway car, a television star, a hot rod donor car, a banger racer and a show car. It r

    Shifting Expectations
    Since 1930, Daimler had been doing its level best to rid the driver of the necessity of changing their own gears. Indeed, from 1930 to the mid-Fifties it had sought to do away with the tiresome job of swapping cogs with the use of the Wilson pre-sele

    Age does few of us any favours. Unless you’re Sean Connery or Honor Blackman, then there’s a good chance you were in your prime in your youth rather than now. In car years, three decades is a long time, but that’s how long the X300 has been with us n
