Ghosts of Browns Lane: a reader visits Jag's museum

CAR reader Eoin Doyle takes a trip down memory lane when he visits Brown Lane. And he unearths a worrying threat to Jaguar's inhouse museum... You can tell a good deal about the commercial state of a car company by visiting its museum. While it remains fairly likely that Ssangyong hasn’t yet seen fit to lay up a pristine Rodius ...

The Porsche 911: the car that shouldn’t work but does

Humanity might struggle perpetually with questions like the meaning of life, but it does know one thing for sure: rear engine cars are bad. Like a sling shot, the heavy engine at the back is always trying to overtake the driver in front. Anyone can understand that.Yet the Porsche 911 - one of the fastest cars on the market, and ...

CAR reader's son designs Ferrari FF spin-offs (2011)

CAR reader Peter Tremulis clearly has a very clever son. Daniel, 18, has drawn up these Ferrari FF spin-offs - designed to extend Maranello's four-wheel drive estate into new niches. And this is no mere idle Photoshoppery. Peter has sent the artwork to Ferrari design chief Flavio Manzoni. Who knows what may happen next! Over to you, Peter. 'My son ...

No Sonny, They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Did In My Day Actually, back then, if they could be bothered to make them at all, they hardly ever made them properly, and much of what got made properly wasn’t worth the bother. So that’s nostalgia for you. But a post a while back from the clear-sighted Wittgenfrog echoed my own ...

A schooling in Jaguar: a lifetime fan speaks

My Jaguar story starts in 1978. I started at secondary school which entailed a train journey each morning and then a five-minute walk. Almost every day on that walk I was passed by a beautiful Squadron Blue 4.2 XJ6 with a black vinyl roof, chrome plated wheels and a private registration number. It turned out that this stunning car belonged ...

Happiness is a Jaguar XJ6 Coupé, says Michael J. Scott

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

My first Jaguar experience was with the purchase of an XJ6 Coupe which I bought because I thought it was very elegant.  The 4.2 straight six never failed to impress in the way the car just disappeared over the horizon in plush silence (apart from some wind noise from the door seals) and I loved the drama of opening two ...

Living with a Jaguar XF: a CAR reader's long-term test

Living with a Jaguar XF: a CAR reader's long-term test

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

I was definitely an XF ‘early adopter’. My S-Type had been reliable, relaxing transport with excellent ergonomics but the styling teetered nervously on the border between distinguished and frumpy. Then I saw the C-XF concept and was blown away with Ian Callum’s sleek, aggressively modern design. I put a deposit down pretty much straightaway and toward the end of 2007 ...

In search of Jag Man: a reader's sociological research

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Eóin Doyle, 24 June 2010 11:50

I’ve always felt there to be an odd contradiction between Jaguar: image and reality. Such sensual, glamorous forms, evoking the Champs Élysées or Hollywood Boulevard, yet it’s beneath the leaden skies of Middle England that Jaguar’s soul predominantly calls home. So, in attempting to distil the essence of Jaguar Man, it is useful to separate folklore from reality, cliché from ...

The guy in the baseball cap with the gold sticker still on the peak glanced across and registered nothing. The empty sound of 1.6 litres of Citroen’s finest fell impotently out through an exhaust pipe larger than a drain. Content in the thought that he did not need to worry about the old-fashioned chrome laden crock next to him, the ...
