Those of you who are regulars to Jaguar Magazine may well be familiar with John Bleasdale in England. He is dedicated to Jaguar’s Supercar models and the XJ-SC – or Cabriolet. If you are interested in those models and don’t know John, you will find him on Facebook and other social media platforms. So for…
Yes, out next edition is getting closer – and includes a buyers guide to the X-Type, and a major six page feature on the original 1975 XJ-S. I believe these are right on the verge of being the best investment model – if you can find an untampered with early example. Surprisingly, many of the development cars survive…
Yes, it is official and from Jaguar. This is the I-Pace being readied for production and sale, and it is exciting. Clearly, it isn’t that far off either. It is interesting that Jaguar’s UK PR head Ken McConomy added that 2017 is going to be a very busy year with lots of things to come!…
Arthur Whittaker joined William Lyons and William Walmsley in their new Swallow Sidecar business at Blackpool as a salesman when he was 17. His contribution to Jaguar may be mostly forgotten by many – but not his granddaughters. A classic 1948 Jaguar sports saloon, first owned by Arthur Whittaker, the Deputy Chairman of Jaguar Cars, has been…

John Bleasdale in the UK has been asking about very early surviving XJ-Ss, and mentioned on his brilliant Facebook page some very interesting examples. They were RHD chassis #1, 2 and 31 and he asked for photos of #2. So for John, here is another angle of #1 (the Lavender car), two…
Jaguar Land Rover and Getty Images have announced a partnership on International Women’s Day to highlight the need for a more realistic visual representation of female engineers. More people than ever are searching images of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) careers, yet results are often out-dated and don’t reflect today’s exciting and…
The Jaguar F-PACE is among the finalists for the World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year crowns at the 2017 World Car Awards. Jaguar’s performance SUV is one of three cars on the shortlist announced at the Geneva Motor Show. The winner will be revealed at the New York International…
The new Jaguar F-Pace is only now hitting dealerships, but the British automaker is already testing a bigger, higher-end example. Allegedly named J-Pace – tying it to the flagship XJ sedan the same way the F-Pace is to the XF (so expect an E-Pace before too long) – Jaguar’s engineers stretched the wheelbase and cobbled together a big CUV from an F-Pace’s body parts.
