JAGUAR MARK II

  By ,

Towards the end of 1959 Jaguar expanded its range of cars with the release of the new Mark II saloons.

E-TYPE FIT FOR A QUEEN

  By ,

As part of the recent Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Jaguar displayed 15 classics – one of them a bespoke Jaguar E-Type. This car is a bit special because the customer wanted an E-Type from the same year that he was born, 1965. In fact, the car Jaguar found for him was built just two days shy of his birthday. It doesn’t get much better than that. The unique E-type made its debut alongside a selection of historically important Jaguar E- types, an all-electric I-PACE eTROPHY race car and seven convertible… Read more
