December 2006 |
| This month we help you through a classic choice as we guide you through the XJ6 Series 1, 2 and 3, we also go back to the birth of the Jaguar line in our scrapbook feature and we look back at the unique XJ13 mid-engined racer's true origins and discover some surprising new perspectives on this incredible machine. Also this month we try an S-TYPE diesel tuned to provide more power, more torque and better fuel economy and find out if it is too good to be true? We speak to Jaguar Cars' managing director, Bibiana Boerio about the marque's fortunes in 2006 - and what we've got to look forward to in the future and we drive an E-type tuned by Coombs of Guildford that's finished in a rather memorable colour. This month we also see how the AJ6 actually came about via a series of terrible miscalculations, we show you a US built replica D-types that is a left-hooker and that's also turbo-charged and we also bring you all your regular favourites and much more. |
