Peak performer?
 First drive: Long before the official launch, we had the chance to try the new XKR coupe and convertible in the French Alps – it's a model that has promised much, does it deliver? |
All show and plenty of go
 E-type chassis number 885005 was the star on Jaguar's stand at the 1961 Geneva show. Recently restored, we put it to the test – is it still as jaw-dropping to drive today? |
 X-TYPE owner's guide
If you own an X-TYPE – whether it is in four-wheel drive V6 or two-wheel drive diesel form, estate or saloon – our guide tells you all you will need to know to keep it on song |

Scrapbook – Absolutely standard, old boy...
The 'Standard' 2.4 saloon was so basic – and only £31 less than the plush SE version – that it's doubtful if any were sold. It may just be the rarest of all Jaguars |
Open-topped opportunities
Values of XK8s on the used-market are softening all the time which means that, at £25k, a 2002 convertible should be quite a steal. Does it live up to expectation? |
Operation Bayonne
In 1961, a Jaguar development team spent several weeks in the south of France clocking up 850 miles a day in the then still secret Mk X. This is their remarkable story |
Powertrain perfection
A car's engine and gearbox must work in perfect harmony for true driver satisfaction – here we speak to Tim Clark, the man responsible for that harmonious combination in the new XKR |
XK passion
The purchase of his first XK back in 1964 fired an enthusiasm for the model that has stayed with Joss Davenport ever since. Here we meet the man, and his XKs! |
XJ-S motorsport
From the driver's seat: Round nine at Oulton Park and JWM's motor-racing correspondent, Gail Hill, has a chance to clinch the 2006 championship. Did she do it? |
