At least they ARE Jaguars - some of the posts so far have been cars that are simply powered by Jag engines, which isn't the same thing IMHO. (Lister-Jaguar, Ronart).

Pedantry rules......

I just love the XJS despite all the negativity that comes with it.

Another one from Hampton Court is this, the 1952 XK120 'Jabbeke'.



Another great one which I don't have a digital photograph of is the 1961 Owen Jaguar Special.

I took this one of Guy Broad's car before it went to Jabbeke. I think he managed to do 182mph on a run.

And how could we forget this one, which belongs to a PH member?

Hopefully it looks a bit better these days.

I assumed the Jabekke runs referred to were in the 1950s. That's a much more recent shot. Was the 182mph run a recent thing?

Absolutely superb car. Goes like stink.

You missed the HWM and the Coopers too. Sorry to be pedantic about your pedantry.

I couldn't be bothered to look through the thread to get all the nominations. The XJS tuned by Lister is still a Jaguar, but a Lister-Jaguar sports-racer from the '50s is a chassis built by Brian Lister fitted with a Jaguar engine purchased from the Competition Dept at Browns Lane. It's not a Jaguar.

The Jaguar Special built by Rixon Bucknall is still a Jaguar because it retains the Jaguar chassis (or much of it) as well as the engine, and has simply been rebodied. Ditto the Ghia and Michelotti creations.

How do you all sleep at night?

Does this qualify?

That has to comply along with this one:-

I remember reading about the Railton in a magazine article many years ago.

All 2 pages of it

Rich, I hold my hand up and admit that the photo posted was the 1991 E-type tour. But I will adamantly say that these are Jaguars:-

The Ghia Supersonic is probably my favourite, there was a very similar bodied Cobra as well.... off to dream...

Actually the Espada is a Piranha knock off, with a bit of Marzal design study thrown in.
