All sixes and eights
 If you wanted a quick British-built sports car in the 1960s, then the E-type would have been high on your 'possible' list - but Jensen's C-V8 was more powerful. How do they compare today? |
Advancing design
 Jaguar's reputation for producing cutting-edge automotive design was once world renowned - and it wants that reputation back. We meet three of the team determined to make it happen and who, having just produced the C-XF, are on the right track |
 Scrapbook - the 'Mk IV'

Buying a nearly-new Jaguar
If the thought of buying a new car brings you out in a depreciation rash, then why not let someone else take that initial hit and buy nearly-new instead? Our guide to buying sub three-year old X-TYPEs, S-TYPEs, XK8/Rs and XJs tells you everything you'll need to know |

Present the majority of motoring enthusiasts with a Mk VII and a brand-new XJR and ask them which is the more sporty, and most would plump for the modern car...but it's only the Mk VII that can lay claim to a real racing pedigree |
Tyres and Jaguar: pt2

Developed by competition
The V12 XJ-S is Jaguar's most successful production racing car of all time - but are any of the mechanical tweaks that have been developed for the track also suitable for road use? |
| Keeping your Jaguar - old or new - running sweetly |
