‘Jaguar’s a great brand, with beautiful fast cars and it’s British,’ says former world champion hurdler Colin Jackson.
‘I have an XKR, before that I had an XJR. I love the comfort – you don’t think twice about taking a long journey.’
Jackson is promoting Jaguar’s Academy of Sport because it will help fund the next generation of British sports stars; when he came through the ranks in the early ‘80s, the only grant he received was £75 from a Welsh authority!
‘The Academy of Sport is the perfect marriage: sport and a sports car brand undergoing a serious renaissance, and willing to invest in sport.’
