Club Torque - President’s Report For March 2026

We live in the driest state on the driest continent and so rain is usually welcomed, especially since we are down on our average rainfall. However, it was great that, other than a few spots experienced by some on the drive to Echunga for All British Day, the day remained fine. The cloud cover whilst making it humid provided some relief from the sun’s rays. It looked as though the numbers were down this year, undoubtedly due to the forecast rain, however there was still an excellent turnout of cars, boats and motor bikes and our Club looked to have the largest display of cars.

The Club is fortunate to have members such as Alan Bartram, and his family members Mal and Izaak Hart, Graham

Franklin, Roland Donders, Don Tamblyn, Phil Prior, Roger and Di Adamson, Tim White, Peter Holland, Peter Thomas, Julian Lugg, Fred Butcher and Andrew Albrow who were ready and willingly to help with set up, pack up and marshalling to assist with the day.

Saturday 14th February Bruce Davis and I met with a group of 6 younger, working age members for a discussion about their preferred activities and what they enjoy about the Club. The enthusiastic contribution was appreciated, and plans are underway to try out shorter carfocussed events like Coffee and Cars which better suit them. Technical information and workshop visits were also a priority.

Supper after the February meeting was successful with the majority of those attending staying on to catch up with others. This will now be a regular feature of General Meetings.

This month we are looking forward to having a car on show within The Stable Room where we meet at The Junction. Chris Hatcher will be the guest speaker and will talk through the restoration of his Mark II with accompanying slides of the progress.

If members need any items from our Daws Road storage facility for a Register or Club event Peter Holland is the contact person to meet you there and ensure all equipment is signed in and out to keep stock of the Club items.

I continue to enjoy getting to the various Register meetings and getting to know more of the members across the Club. Julian and I hope to go to Campbelltown Rotary’s Classics on the Park on 15th March and will report back on the event with the view of JDCSA possibly being a feature display marque in the future.

I hope you enjoy reading the articles in this month’s magazine and our Editor Graham is always looking for your contributions.

Warm regards Moira Lugg President

Club Torque - Editor’s Column

Although very few members, if any, will buy the new Jaguar EV when it comes out, like it or not, it is coming. Many journalists have taken the car for a drive and are very impressed. "Car Magazine", that is published in over 20 countries stated: "It’s unlike any saloon I’ve ever sat in". (See reviews on pages 26-27).

While you are there, don't forget to read the story on Alan Baker's E-Type which is a feature story in the March edition of "Jaguar World".

By the way EVs are on their way. Despite what Mr Trump's view is, USA has major

particle pollution in many of its cities due to dense population, traffic, and industrial emissions. Ditto, countries in South East Asia too. Fine particulate matter is capable of penetrating deep into the lungs and bloodstream, posing serious health risks that include increased risk of asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease and respiratory issues. Pollution and health concerns are driving legislation changes in many countries towards EVs, just as much, or even more so, than climate change.

The feature this month is the 2026 "All British Day". Another great day and an

opportunity to look at other great British cars. Thanks to all those that went. My thanks also to new members Ian & Tanya Young for contributing their story to this month’s edition.

Last but not least, we are reproducing Q&A Interviews for the next few months. This month it is Bryon Swanbury who is still driving his Jaguar and turns 96 in April. Well done Bryon. (Pages12-13).

Cheers Graham

McLaren Vale Vintage & Classic - 12 April 2026

The McLaren Vale Vintage and Classic makes a grand return in 2026 for its 20year celebrations. After the Car Parade, we will head to a participating winery for celebrations and lunch. Our Club will be advised of our hosting winery closer to the event.

To take part in the 20th-year celebration car parade please goto: McLaren Vale Vintage & Classic.

Closing date for vehicle entry is 15th March 2026. NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Entry fee is $45 per vehicle - 1 vehicle per order.

Members are encouraged to register now.

Letter To The Editor (All British Day)

Greetings,

I just wanted to pass on my thanks to you all for your outstanding assistance with setup/takedown and marshalling of our JDCSA contribution to "All British Day 2026".

Thankfully the weather was quite suitable without any rain, but I’m sure there were

many entries that failed to arrive because they were expecting otherwise.

At last count I think we had about 54 JDCSA cars on display which was by far the biggest contingent.

I hope you all enjoyed the day and were able to catch up with friends and colleagues too.

New Member's Story - Ian & Tanya Young

I purchased my first Jaguar at 15 years old (1978). It was an "Old English White" 3.4 Mark 1. The car was road worthy and registered. I also purchased a second car for Parts, a 2.4 Mark1 for $950.

Being lucky enough to grow up on my parents farm we had plenty of space and so I soon added to the stable of Mk1 and Mk2’s, even a AW6 International tractor that was given to me by my PA for my twelfth birthday. (He even delivered it).

Lots of different cars and bikes over the years but one favourite was a V8 Daimler that received a 302 Windsor and C9 transplant that added a bit of spirit to the drive.

Also, a T3 Motor Guzzi and a Mark 5 Moto Guzzi in my younger and more agile days. I am about to embark on restoration of a T Moto Guzzi.

Currently we have a 1972 Triumph GT6 Mk3 (member of TCOSA) and was restored by myself in 2022/2023. Plus a C8 Corvette, and most recently we purchased Rob Smith’s XK140, of which I am 2 months into the rebuild.

I am keen to find a replacement front bumper if anyone has a spare and is prepared to part with it. It is looking like the body will be removed from the chassis a job I was hoping to avoid but I think I will be disappointed with the finished car if I don’t.

If another member has done it before, I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to perform this task. Also, if anyone one has parts they are prepared to part with, please let me know. I am in need of quite a few.

Here are some pictures. As a side note in my teens I worked as a cook for current member John Bergbauer back in 1980 when he and Keith Sloan owned the Mexican Kitchen in Bendigo. Cheers Ian and Tanya.

Editor: Thank you, Ian. Great read. Please get in touch with the XK, Mk 7,8,9 Register. A number of members have done total XK restorations and have a wealth of knowledge.

E-Type Bonnet Takes Top Spot in eBay Purchase List

Ebay, the number one online marketplace for vehicle parts and accessories in the UK, has revealed the most expensive parts and accessories sold in 2025, including high-end performance engines, vintage bodywork and premium brake sets.

This year, the priciest part or accessory sold on eBay in the UK was an aluminium Jaguar E-Type bonnet, which was purchased for £18,564. (Au$35,800).

Considering Martin Robey Group UK sell hand-built brand-new steel bonnet assemblies for E-Type Series 1 for £11,046 (Au$21,300), it probably wasn't that overpriced. .

Jaguar Promises Its New Car Will Drive Like No Other EV

Currently being tested in the automotive industry’s providing grounds in Arjeplog, Sweden, the four-door grand tourer is being subjected to temperatures of -40° Celcius with Jaguar saying the frozen lakes help its engineers “to refine the distinct characteristics of the four-door GT’s drive modes”.

“Jaguar has always been about driving pleasure and our new electric four-door GT will be no different,” said Jaguar vehicle engineering director, Matt Becker.

“It marks a step-change in our technical ambitions. Innovative in-house electric propulsion technologies combine with the car’s unique proportions and low centre of gravity for a luxurious grand tourer that drives like nothing else".

“Like a true Jaguar, it can be comfortable when you wish, is engaging to drive and, with more than 1000PS (735kW), always has power in reserve.”

Both AutoCar and Auto Evolution have driven the car and given it the thumps up. (See reviews on pages 26-27). .

USA - Jaguar F-Type Driver Survives High Speed Crash

School buses are easy to see by design, especially when their flashing lights are on while stopped. That still wasn't enough for the driver of a Jaguar F-Type to notice until it was too late, slamming into the back of the bus.

This video is incredibly hard to watch, but fortunately no students were on the bus. However, the bus driver was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. The unidentified F-Type driver also suffered minor injuries. The driver walked home and was arrested a few hours later on a separate domestic battery charge.

The crash looks un-survivable from the angle of the video, but only the passenger side went under the bus, which is likely why the driver escaped with minor injuries.

This crash is a perfect example of "automated emergency braking". It was standard equipment on the 2024 F-Types, but not on this early model. Automated emergency braking could have at least reduced the severity of this crash, if not avoided it entirely.

New Jaguars Coming By 2030

Autocar understands that the Jaguar GT will be followed by a Bentley Bentayga-sized electric luxury SUV and a similarly positioned electric saloon, with the latter set to serve as a spiritual successor to the XJ.

Jaguar Has Sold Its Last New Petrol Car in Australia

The final new petrol Jaguar has been officially reported as sold in Australia. "Australian Jaguar retailers ceased selling new combustion-engined Jaguars on 31 December 2025," a Jaguar Australia spokesperson told Drive.

It is not clear which petrol-powered Jaguar was the last to don registration plates, but one candidate is the limitedbuild 90th Anniversary Edition of the F-Pace SUV.

Although the brand says it has stopped selling new cars, a small number of Jaguars remain in dealers around the country, many with fewer than 50 kilometres on the odometer. But dealers have simply moved all remaining boxfresh stock to the "Approved Used Section" of the showroom and are not being sold as new.

A search on "Car Sales" shows one new Jaguar for sale in Australia - and as it

happens, it is in SA, a 2024 Jaguar F-Type ZP Edition Auto AWD with 65km on the clock. NSW have the identical car for sale as a "dealer demo" with 30km and a price of $239,990.

It has left Jaguar without any new vehicles to sell locally until its next-generation electric cars arrive in Australia. Once Luxury Car Tax and local import fees are factored in, the new Jaguar EV is likely to start close to $300,000 before on-road costs in Australia. .

Interview - Bryon Swanbury Q and A Bryon Swanbury

G. Hello Bryon, I will ask the most award questions first. How old are you and how long ago did your dear wife Margaret pass away?

B. I will be 96 in April. Margaret died on 25th November 2020.

G. Do you still drive?

B. Yes. Going onto 80 years now.

G. And what do you drive?

B. A 1973 Old English White Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 automatic.

G. What is the history of the car?

B. It was originally a company car and I bought it from Solitaire Automotive in 1976, and I have owned it ever since. We have both grown old together.

My car has the original paintwork, rarely polished and only use a water brush and a chamois. There is no real secretalways garaged and kept out of the sun and weather.

Anything needed mechanically is taken care of, so we almost have a new car in a 53 year old body.

My old mechanic (E.S) quotes that the engine will last at least 550,000km or forever, whichever comes first. The Jaguar is determined to stay in the family to prove it. It has now done 140,000km.

G. Has the XJ6 had much mechanical work?

It is like any car of that age. You need to keep the maintenance up.

The biggest job was a blown head gasket, and I took the opportunity to get the engine rebuilt. That was about 21,000km ago. Then typical things like front and rear suspension, brakes, power steering and the like. It has also had a new roof lining.

Interview

Member No. 3557

Questions; Graham Franklin

Answers: Bryon Swanbury

Interview - Bryon Swanbury (cont)

G. Did you do any special trips in the XJ6 with Margaret?

B. Yes, we did a lot of trips all around South Australia including the Flinders Ranges and interstate; Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, etc.

G. How did the Jaguar go?

B. Didn't miss a beat.

G: What cars have you owned?

B. I have only ever owned 4 cars. My first was a 1938 Vauxhall. Then we bought an FE Panel Van when we got married. That was followed by an FB Holden that we owned for 40 years.

Margaret used to drive the XJ6 and I used the FB for work.

When I sold the FB, I was overrun with people wanting to buy it, including people from all over Australia.

The XJ6 is now my daily driver.

G: Why did you buy a Jaguar?

Always liked the shape of the XJ6 - a real sedan. That wonderful dashboard, those twin lights, the chrome, the leather and the woodwork.

And then there is the driving experience. That smooth independent suspension, the precise steering, and the well

proven, simple, uncomplicated straight six engine, smooth as silk with more than ample torque when needed. The engine has often been quoted as looking like it is doing 100mph standing still. Beloved in all its capacities by the keen rebuilders.

There is a charisma with a vintage Jaguar which is not shared with the modern plastic fantastics. True enthusiasts will clearly understand.

G: So, what have you been up to over the past 95 years?

B. Over time, Margaret and I undertook 38 major journeys to 88 countries. They were adventures, not holidays. We went to Turkey 15 times, China 6, and India 9. We liked India. You can just about pick a country and we would have been there. We got deported from a couple of countries. We cruised down the Ganges for a couple of weeks. That was fun.

G. I am envious. Anything else you got up to?

I am a very good photographer and I have competed in competitions and been an international judge. I have taken lots of travel photos as you can imagine, and family photos; children and grandchildren of course.

G: Have you been a member of any other Car Clubs?

B. No. I originally joined the JDCSA back in 1976 when I bought the car. But they were all a bunch of young yahoos. So I left. I then rejoined many years later.

G. I was probably one of those young yahoos Bryon!!

G: Do you have any funny motoring or club experiences?

B. Not really. No accidents. Just enjoyable trips.

G: If you had your time again, would you buy a Jaguar?

B. Yes. But not a modern one. They are all very nice, but they all look the same.

G: A fascinating story Bryon, anything else you would like to add?

B. No. I think we have covered everything. But I do enjoy catching up with other Club members at the Saturday morning BBQ over at Evan Spartalis workshop. We still can't seem to solve all the problems in the world however.

G. Thank you Bryon very much for your time and happy Birthday for April!

42nd Celebration - All British Day 2026

One of the defining qualities of "All British Day" (ABD) is its ability to bring the marques and models of yesteryear back into the public eye, including many from manufacturers that, sadly, no longer exist. Each year, countless visitors return to ABD to reconnect with the cars and motorcycles that shaped their motoring careers, family histories and fondest memories.

This year the 2026 feature logo celebrated Skinner Union (SU), a name synonymous with British motoring. SU carburettors are renowned for their simplicity and efficiency. SU also produced electric fuel pumps. SU fuel systems were also a familiar sight on British cars before fuel injection became widespread.

A total of 74 Daimler/Jaguars/Lanchester Cars registered for ABD. Not all made it.

This year ABD featured Ford which operated several plants across Britain and Ireland from the early 1900s.

From one of these factories, Ford produced the famous Model T for the UK market. The Model T became a global benchmark for mass production. Following on from 2025, there was the “Dressed for Driving” competition. It was pleasing to see how enthusiastically it was embraced with many of the attendees showcasing their flair for period fashion, adding colour and character to the day.

Looking ahead, 2027 marks 50 years since the final Triumph Stag rolled off the production line. For ABD 2027, they plan to feature Britain Triumphs, celebrating the impressive breadth and depth of Triumph cars and motorcycles.

In 2028, ABD will celebrate 60 years since the release of the iconic Jaguar XJ6. Our club is hopeful that visitors to Echunga in 2028 will be treated to a magnificent display of Jaguars.

As a not-for-profit organisation, ABD donates surplus funds to charity and community groups. In 2026, they will again support the local CFS Brigade and the Echunga Netball Club.

Events such as “All British Day” are only made possible through the many hours of volunteer time freely given, and congratulations must be given to the ABD President, Jamie SandfordMorgan and the committee members and volunteers who worked so hard to bring the 2026 event to life.

A big thank you to Alan Bartram, Peter Thomas, Fred Butcher and all the club members for the setup and take down of the JDCSA display, and also the marshalling of the arrival of our entrants. Apart from the threat of rain, that didn't happen, the weather could not have been better.

The following photographs include a cross section of the various Jaguar/ Daimler and Lanchester cars that were on display. Apologies if your car is not included.

Mark your calendars for the next All British Day - The last Sunday in February. See you in 2027! Editor

Jaguar Becomes Most Successful Team In Formula E History

By winning the Jeddah E-Prix, Jaguar TCS Racing secured its 24th career win, and in doing so, they became the most-winning team in the championship’s history.

Miami ePrix (R3) - 31 January

Kiwi Mitch Evans took a recordbreaking victory for Jaguar at the Miami E-Prix International Autodrome.

▪ Mitch Evans fought back from ninth on the grid to take his first victory of the 2025/26 Formula E World Championship.

▪ In damp and greasy conditions, Mitch achieved his 15th career win in Formula E, meaning he now has the most victories in the championship’s history.

▪ The Kiwi also surpassed the 1,000-point mark in the process, becoming only the fourth driver in Formula E history to do so.

▪ The win marks Ian James’ first victory as Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal since joining the team ahead of the season.

▪ António Félix da Costa looked set to secure his first podium for the British team, but contact with another car caused the Portuguese driver to drop back with heavy damage and he ultimately finished in eighth place.

Jeddah E-Prix (R4) - 13th February

Jaguar secured a double-top-five finish in Round 4 of the World Championship, with Mitch Evans securing third place on the podium and António Félix da Costa crossing the line in fifth.

▪ Both drivers steadily climbed through the pack, with Evans executing strong energy management and decisive overtakes, while da Costa battled consistently in the top group.

▪ Strategic calls including well-timed "Pit Boost" and "Attack Mode" deployments moved both drivers into podium-contending positions in the first race of the double-header weekend in Jeddah.

Jeddah E-Prix (R5) - 14th February

Jaguar Racing capped off a remarkable weekend in Jeddah with a 1-2 victory for Jaguar powered cars.

▪ António Félix da Costa converted third position on the grid into a commanding victory in Round 5, marking his 13th career win in Formula E, and Jaguar TCS Racing’s 24th – becoming the most-winning team in the championship’s history.

▪ The win also marks Jaguar TCS Racing’s second victory in the last three races and completes a two-podium weekend in the first double-header event of the season.

▪ Sébastien Buemiin in his Jaguar powered Envision Race car finished second, adding valuable points to the Manufacturers’ standings.

▪ Mitch Evans charged from P13 on the grid to P7 across the line, using his "Attack Mode" strategically to climb into the points and deliver another strong recovery drive for the team.

Jaguar is now 2nd in the Teams’ World Championship and in second-place in the Manufacturers’ standings.

Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will be held at the inaugural Madrid E-Prix on the 21st of March 2026. .

Jaguar World - March 2026

Jaguar World Magazine for March contains a story about Alan Baker's highly distinctive Series 1 E-Type.

In summary, the writer states that the car is quite simply immaculate and although it is not the same Series 1 spec which left the factory, its numerous alterations and upgrades has helped to make it one of the most interesting and one of the most rewarding to drive examples of its type.

The story goes into the early history of the “Pale Primrose” E-Type that left Browns Lane in early 1964. Many years later the car was left neglected in the hot Arizona Sun, leaving it badly faded with paint flaking and rust holes starting to appear.

The car was subsequently imported to South Australia by Octagon Motors, a sports car specialist at Saint Mary’s. The car was left in the yard where Alan first saw it, where it looked like it was just waiting for a loving owner and restoration by someone with real determination. Alan knew that it was going to be a job and a half.

Although Alan wasn’t someone who regularly took on restoration projects, there was something about this Series 1 E-Type that intrigued him. The Arizona sun had hardened the interior to a rock, the chrome had turned green, and the floors and boot had rotted away. Alan also said “that it was the same as the other panels too, where they had trapped rainwater.”

Inevitably, it wasn’t just the car’s bodywork that had suffered: “Sometime in the past, the spark plugs had been removed and to add to this disaster the bonnet was left open, so sand and dirt whipped up by the wind had found their way into the cylinders. The engine was totally seized. Not only that, someone had removed the top of the gearbox cover some years before, leaving the transmission open to the elements”.

The story then goes into specific detail regarding this epic restoration that involved replacement of many body panels including sections of the floor and inner and outer sills with the majority of work including

mechanicals carried out by Alan. With such perfection it is not surprising that the car took 15 years to restore.

However, it never stopped there as Alan felt he could go one step further and set out to give the car better brakes, steering, suspension and a 5-speed gearbox. In 2018 more changes came with a stroked crankshaft to increase engine capacity, full competition head, pistons, extractors, weber carburettors and the like.

The car has not surprisingly won a number of awards and with such perfection one would expect that a “once-in-a-lifetime project” would have been enough. Instead, Alan is building a replica long nose D-Type and the story ends with the writer proclaiming that if Alan’s E-Type is anything to go by, that D-Type project is likely to produce an absolutely stunning end result.

We all agree. If you can get a copy of the March 2026 edition of Jaguar World, the story is compelling reading covering 7 pages of detailed facts and lots of photographs of this very special E-Type. .

The March 2026 edition of Jaguar World includes the following feature stories:

◊ X-Type Vs BMW E46: Earning an executive saloon as a company car was a career milestone at the turn of the millennium, and in 2001 Jaguar’s X-TYPE took aim at BMW’s class-defining 3-Series. Did Jaguar's 3•series beater achieve its aim?

◊ XJ40 XJR Manual: The XJ40 generation of XJR might not have been much faster than a standard model, but the manual version changed that. Although only a tiny handful were produced, they've found a rare example to illustrate what it was capable of.

◊ Mark 8 at 70: Arriving in 1956, the Mk VIII helped consolidate Jaguar’s position as a manufacturer of luxury saloons. To mark the 70th anniversary of its debut they take a closer look at this oftenoverlooked model.

◊ F-Pace a Decade on: Jaguar’s first SUV was a controversial move for the company but soon became its best-selling model. They look back on ten years of practical Jaguars.

◊ Buying The Jaguar 420: Jaguar’s most underrated saloon turns 60 this year. Here’s are tips to help you get the best 420 or Daimler Sovereign.

◊ Workshop X351: They show you how to service an XJ X351.

◊ Workshop X300: The easiest approach to removing the engine from the X300 is to drop the front subframe assembly with all of its brakes and suspension attached, along with the engine and gearbox. They begin the process of removing an X300 engine.

◊ E-Type Modified Down Under: With a quest for perfection and a desire to create his ultimate-spec E-type, Australia Alan Baker has achieved great things with this highly distinctive Series 1. (Story above).

AutoCar - February 2026

The Jaguar GT EV rides like an XJ and drifts like an F-Type! There was a misconception that Jaguar's bosses weren't interested in its past. The truth of it, at least from the perspective of Jaguar's engineers, is rather different. They understood that things needed to change, but their preparation work on this new Jaguar, didn't involve abandoning everything that had come before.

Jaguar have now taken the car to northern Sweden, 60 miles shy of the Arctic Circle where I evaluate one to find out what it's like to drive in these conditions, at least.

The JEA doesn't have a typical skateboard-like layout: there's a 19kWh (32-cell) pack near the cabin's front, then another four stacks of 42 cells further back. Because the cells aren't arranged in one big piece, Jaguar has been able to keep the car's occupants lower. Rear passengers have a footwell between the rear packs, while the front seats nestle reclined slightly into this gap too. As a result, the driving posture is only a handful of millimetres from that of an F-Type.

Ultimately, though, in its balance, and its compliance, the Type 00 feels like a Jaguar. If I had climbed directly from the most recent XJ into this and, ignorant of the past six years' worth of Jaguar rigmarole, been told that this was its direct replacement, I'd have believed it.

While the hype, the adverts, the turmoil and the commentary have been going on around them, Jaguar's engineers have looked at the past, looked at the future and laboured to produce an authentic Jaguar.

Matt Prior Automotive Engineer

Auto Express February 2026

We hit the ice and snow to try out the new Jaguar GT and it's already showing plenty of potential.

From the outside Jaguar’s new direction looks bold, but our first taste of the GT reveals it to be reassuringly conventional in its approach – a comfortable tourer that’s intuitive to drive, and surprisingly manageable for a 2.7-tonne, 1,000bhp supersaloon.

There are three drive modes to choose from – Rain/Ice/Snow, Comfort and Dynamic – and all of them feel rear-biased to some degree. That slippery setting gives a useful safety net in how it sends drive to the front wheels to stabilise the car if it starts sliding too much, with Comfort and particularly Dynamic being more playful.

In Dynamic you can finely adjust the GT’s balance on the throttle, and although you often sense its considerable mass – in hard braking and fast direction changes, for example – it’s well managed and very controllable. Only at the very extremes does the GT become more challenging, occasionally sending power to the front when you need it at the rear to rotate through slow corners.

There’s still much to learn about this new era of Jaguar, but the early signs are that the GT will offer an EV driving experience, with comfort and refinement at the core of its character and a level of dynamism thrown in. A full verdict will need to wait until we get the Jaguar GT on tarmac.

On the 13th March 1963, a Mark II Jaguar secured four international endurance records.

The opalescent silver grey 3.8 Mark II arrived at Monza Autodrome banked circuit in March 1963. There were few changes from standard, though the

On this Day (March)

overriders were removed and an extra windscreen wiper was fitted. The high Le Mans final drive ration of 2.93:1 was used, but the biggest departure from standard was the fitment of two additional fuel tanks in the boot to give a total capacity of 34.5 gallons (130 litres).

Fifty years ago, Jaguar unveiled the XJ12C Group A Touring Car, 23 March 1976.

With Jaguar absent from international motorsport since the early Sixties, the announcement that it was to enter the European Touring Car Championship with the XJ12 Coupe came as a surprise to everyone. "It seems almost too good to be true," Motor Sport magazine wrote in its April 1976 issue.

Yet it was clear that this wasn't a full Jaguar works effort; instead of British Racing Green, the car appeared in white with a blue stripe, and its sole sponsor was Leyland Cars.

Development problems meant that instead of appearing at Salzburg in April 1976, the car didn't make its debut until September at the RAC Tourist Trophy at Silverstone. Though fast enough for pole position, the sole XJ12C retired with wheel-bearing failure. The following season was little better; the team's best result was a second place at the Nürburgring.

However, Leyland wanted instant success, and when that didn’t happen, the project was scrapped after only 18 months, before they had even had a chance to complete the 1977 season.

In its short career the Broadspeed Jaguar XJ12C competed in eight races, started in pole position six times, and led all eight races prior to mechanical problems.

Ralph Broad and the drivers that raced the cars were convinced that they would have been winners had the project been given another season.

One of the team’s drivers was Australian F1 racer Tim Schenken. In an interview, Tim said the cars were very fast but the project needed more money and more time. We needed 4 cars like our

The drivers were six-times world champion motorcyclist Geoff Duke, lightweight E-type drivers Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden, race and rally driver Andrew Hedges, and John Bekaert, previously a very rapid ListerJaguar driver. The driving skills were exceptional, especially given that the loads imposed on the car by the G-forces generated by the banking was severe.

Of the four records, the most impressive was 10,000 miles at an average of 106.58mph. This brought Jaguar (and Castrol, which sponsored the attempt) world-wide publicity that exceeded their expectations.

What happened to the Monza Mk 2?

Believe it or not, after being displayed at various shows, it was put back to standard and sold as a second-hand car! Unfortunately, it does not appear to have survived. .

competitors so that we could alternate each pair of cars between races to give the team more time to rebuild each car before it raced again..

Despite what the future would hold, the excitement felt at the press event 50 years ago remains undimmed. For a brief moment, the promise of a triumphant Jaguar return seemed not just possible but imminent — a reminder that in motorsport, hope often burns brightest at the very beginning. .

On this Day (March)

On 1st March 2011 the XKR-S was launched at the Geneva motor show.

The XKR-S is a high-performance version of the XKR and was once described in a motoring review that driving the XKR-S was like pulling on a racesuit every time you sat in the car, because it's dripping with a latent aggression even the supercharged XKR can't comprehend.

Jaguar produced such a potent piece of GT machinery that it may as well be classified as a supercar. On the surface the XKR-S it's not that different to the XKR. All the important electronic and mechanical systems have been upgraded or uprated to semi-race car levels of performance.

In Australia the car sold for $340,000 or $100,000 more money than an XKR. .

On 15 March 1961, the E-type was launched at the Geneva Motor Show. (Photo: Sir William Lyons and press with 9600 HP).

9600 HP, the first E-type FHC, was unveiled to the press at the Parc des Eaux Vives, Geneva. This caused a sensation with people pushing for demonstration rides, and the police were called to keep order.

Demand was so high that Sir William Lyons phoned the factory and told Norman Dewis to drive 77 RW, the first E-type Roadster, to Geneva. He drove through the night arriving in Geneva 11 hours later just in time to get ready for the demonstration drives.

The E-Type Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only. The domestic market launch came four months later, in July 1961. .

The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 was launched on 29 March 1971.

The final incarnation of the E-Type was launched at the New York Motor Show as the Series 3, and featured an all new 5.3 litre V12 engine.

The short wheelbase FHC body style was discontinued, with the Series 3 available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé.

The new longer wheelbase offered significantly more room in all directions. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. Other changes included larger radiator, uprated brakes and standard power steering, as well as the optional additions of an automatic transmission, wire wheels and air conditioning.

After 15,287 cars, production of the E-Type finally ceased in 1975, when it was replaced by the XJ-S. .

Janet began a career as an aerospace engineer, but after racing a Jaguar she had a professional shift. In 1960, she campaigned a 1953 XK120 coupe, competing in autocrosses, hill climbs and field trials in the New York Region.

"Oh, the Jaguar! So beautiful, so prone to breakdowns! My heart still goes pit-a-pat whenever I see one of them, that first XK120 M. Then in 1963 I bought an XK140 that had been set up for racing and competed in SCCA regional and national races".

Guthrie built her own engines, towed the car to races and was her own crew. A decade later, racing became her full-

time job. Along with becoming the first woman to race in top tier NASCAR and Indy 500, Guthrie was the first woman to compete in the Daytona 500. Janet also raced at the Bathurst Great Race in 1977 with fellow Indy legend Johnny Rutherford in a Torana A9X.

She is a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and was one of the first inductees into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame. .

Born in 1936, Swiss actress and former model Ursula Andress will celebrate her 90th birthday on the 19 March. Seen here, aged 29, in the 1965 film "The Tenth Victim". Still photographs taken by celebrated French photographer Patrick Morin (1928-2002). (See also page 52).

On 1st March 2011 the concept Jaguar B99 and B99GT by Italian design house Bertone, were launched at the Geneva motor show.

The 4-door saloon was shown in two versions: compact executive (B99) and grand tourer (B99 GT). The cars were almost half a metre shorter than an XF saloon, but about the same height as the XKR-S.

On this Day (March)

Both cars were constructed of aluminium panels and featured suicide doors. The power train was also developed by Bertone as a hybrid; featuring a 1.4 litre engine for range extension purposes with two electric motors of 201 bhp (150 kW; 204 PS) each driving the rear wheels. Maximum output of engine and electric motors was 570 bhp.

The GT added an additional two electric motors giving it a four-wheel drive and a total power output of 972 bhp.

The B99 was based more on traditional Jaguars of the Geoff Lawson era compared to more recent Jaguars designed by Ian Callum and might have formed the basis of a replacement for the X-Type.

The B99 was rapturously received by almost everyone .... apart from Jaguar. Jaguar confirmed that they would not be asking Bertone to develop the concept"it is just not for us".

Many annalists believe the car was ahead of the curve, and that this modern electrified version of the XJ could have well been the very car that lifted Jaguar out of the doldrums, and into a position of world leader, if only senior leadership could have cast there stubbornness aside.

The B99 name stood for B for Bertone and 99 for Bertone's 99th year of operation. .

Auto Trader Review: Jaguar XFR Saloon (2009 – 2015)

The 500bhp Jaguar XFR is an executive super-saloon offering fine handling and comfort. It’s more rounded than the BMW M5, but the Mercedes E63 AMG and Audi RS6 offer more power. [4 minute read].

How good does it look?

Changes from Jaguar XF to Jaguar XFR are subtle. These include 20-inch alloy wheels, body-kit and R-badging. The most obvious XFR giveaway is the bonnet vents. There are no swollen arches or chunky side skirts. This adds desirability and gives the XFR stealth car status. The XFR is very attractive and more futuristic than rivals. However, the headlights are over-fussy and the chrome-effect front grille cheapens the rest of the styling. Expert rating: 4/5.

What's the interior like?

The Jaguar XFR improves upon the standard XF’s beautifully-finished interior. The dashboard design is attractive and the stitched leather top, aluminium trim and suede headlining add to the premium feel. Its sweeping dashboard and raised centre console make it more modern and attractive. The pulsating start button and Drive Selector, which rises from the centre console, all add to the sense of occasion. The shiny chromed plastic around the interior seems cheap for an expensive car. We like the touch-screen interior functions including climate, stereo and sat-nav. Expert rating: 5/5.

How practical is it?

The driving position is excellent with comfortable, supportive sports seats and plenty of adjustment, even for the tallest drivers. Rear legroom is adequate, but the XFR’s curvy rear window means taller passengers will moan at the lack of headroom. The 500-litre boot compares well to rivals in terms of size, but the rear seats do not fold. The XFR’s short front and rear overhangs, the distance between the wheel arches and the front and rear of the car, make it difficult to judge distance when parking and manoeuvring. Front and rear parking sensors are included. Expert rating: 3/5.

What's it like to drive?

Even with huge 20-inch alloy wheels, the ride is refined. Jaguar’s Adaptive

Dynamic System continuously monitors the car’s behaviour and adjusts the suspension. There’s a ‘dynamic’ mode, but we found the standard settings provide a better compromise. The XFR’s wide tyres grip well and body roll is minimal. Jaguar’s precise electric power steering system feels light, but improves with speed. Expert rating: 4/5.

How powerful is it?

Top speed is 155mph, with the dash to 62mph taking just 4.9 seconds. This is pretty potent, considering its 1,891kg kerb weight, but it’s not quite as fast as the Audi RS6 (4.2 seconds) or the Mercedes E63 AMG (4.4 seconds). Power is delivered effectively at high speeds and in town. The charismatic V8 and supercharger sound is addictive. It is mated with a six-speed automatic gearbox which offers smooth changes with the ability to shift through the steering-wheel mounted paddles. The XFR is fitted with Jaguar Drive Control that includes dynamic and winter modes. It works with the ESP system to change the engine performance, gearchanges and braking according to the road conditions, and works almost unnoticed in the background. The changes to the engine are far more obvious in dynamic mode, where it’s easier to find the car’s limits. Expert rating: 4/5.

How much will it cost me?

It’s a super-saloon so expect big bills. The XFR emits 292g/km of CO2, returns 23mpg and is in the highest road tax band, however these costs are comparable with rivals. Depreciation is also expected to be a significant cost. Expert rating: 2/5

How reliable is it?

The XFR is based on the Jaguar XF, which has scored highly in quality and reliability surveys. The standard model has been subject of four recalls, the most serious of which can lead to the engine cutting out unexpectedly. Expert rating: 4/5.

How safe is it?

Euro NCAP crash-tested the standard Jaguar XF and awarded it four stars. The XFR hasn’t been tested but is fitted with driver, passenger and side airbags. More innovative kit includes a blind spot warning system and a pop-up bonnet that’s designed to minimise pedestrian injuries in the event of a collision. Expert rating: 4/5.

How much equipment do I get?

You get a lot as standard kit in the Jaguar XFR including sports leather seats, keyless entry and full-colour touchscreen. Options include the Parking Aid Pack and the crystal clear and user-friendly Bowers and Wilkins stereo. Expert rating: 4/5.

Why buy?

It might be a super-saloon, but it’s also a supreme long-distance cruiser and offers everyday usability. Expert rating: 4/5. .

Technical Q&A

The following Q&A questions are from readers of Jaguar World and may be relevant to club members cars.

X300 – Locked Boot

I have a 1995 XJR with a very flat battery. It also has a seized boot lock. The result is that I cannot open the boot because there is no power to the solenoid lock, and I cannot turn the key the 90 degrees necessary to open it manually, despite having liberally sprayed WD40 into the key aperture. Result, deadlock — literally!

I have tried to put some power into it via the cigar lighter socket (with the ignition key turned to 'on') but this has no effect. This model has the powered entry system for the seat and steering wheel that may be taking the power, although nothing actually moves. Also, the remote key fob does not work, so before this problem I was having to unlock the car with the key.

Can I get some power to the lock some other way, or do I have to cut the bootlid?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are at least two options before resorting to the hole-saw. Under the bonnet you can trace the cable from the starter motor back to the insulated pin on the bulkhead and apply 12-volts using jump-leads, but be sure to connect the earth cable at a safe distance, ideally somewhere on the engine. Make sure to leave the door open as the sudden application of power can cause it to lock unexpectedly and, in rare cases, be prepared for the odd blown fuse.

Alternately connect a trickle charger either via the connections described above or with a cigarette lighter attachment.

XJ-S Top Ball Joint Shims

I have a 1989 XJ-S 3.6 and, as I am sure you are aware, the top ball joint has shims either side of it. Can you advise whether there is a way to check the number of shims or the angle at home? Should the number of shims either side of the ball joint be the same on both sides?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The shims either side of the ball-joint adjust castor angle, that is the angle at which the suspension vertical link leans forward or back from the upright position. Castor is used both to assist stability and help with selfcentering.

There should be an aluminium spacer and four steel shims; the spacer always stays behind the ball-joint with the shims distributed fore and aft as appropriate. Accurate adjustment of castor requires special equipment to measure wheel inclination at various steering positions and it is not really feasible at home.

XJ40 Vibrations

My 1989 XJ40 Sovereign automatic has some vibrations from underneath. In addition, coarse surfaces are felt unusually well through the "seat of my pants", through the steering wheel and aurally as well. I have had the wheels rebalanced and checked. There is sometimes a distinct feeling of looseness/play when going over humps with the wheels dropping again.

The wheel bearings do not show any play with the car jacked up. Some bushings in the front suspension were replaced a couple of years ago; the rest were pronounced healthy. I am really wondering about where to look next.

Vibrations at 55 to 65mph are most commonly wheel or tyre in origin, while those that rise constantly with speed are more likely to be prop-shaft related. Check for worn/partially seized universal joints or a split rubber coupling at the differential flange, and if all is good get a second opinion on the wheels.

Harshness on coarse surfaces is probably tyre related and has proven quite common with certain brands.

With regard to the looseness, check the front upper damper bushings as these are made from a dense foam and can compact then disintegrate over time.

XJR-S Software

I own a 1993 XJR-S. My car is equipped with the Zytek fuel injection and so I need to find the Zytek software discs, interface unit and cables so that I can tune the engine and fuel injection properly. Can you help me find these, or do you have any other suggestions to remedy this dilemma? I would also like to find a spare ECU. Apparently, there is an ECU programmed for performance. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zytec engine management has become a real pain in recent years, as it can only be tuned or have problems diagnosed using a laptop provided to dealers selling the XJR-S and XJ220, which also used the system. The problem now is that most of those computers and software have either ceased to work or have passed into private hands.

Jaguar has washed its hands of the issue and Zytec itself is unwilling to provide support.

You therefore have three options: find your local "XJ220 repairer, convert the car back to standard Lucas/Bosh injection together with a conventional electronic ignition system, or fit a modern aftermarket engine management system, which will undoubtedly be far superior to Zytec and infinitely tuneable.

Technical Q&A (cont)

XJ-S Bonnet Catch

My XJ-S bonnet will not fasten. The previous owner seems to have attempted some DIY on the mechanism and has replaced the catches inside the bonnet, then attached the two catches via one cable that runs directly to the nearside cabin lever. However, that merely halfcloses the offside of the bonnet and despite pushing down the nearside of the bonnet the slightest bump or turn will pop it up again on that side.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The left bonnet lock is operated directly from the cabin lever via one cable with a second cable operating the right (offside) lock from the left-hand lock. The procedure then seems to be that the left lock cable is adjusted first at the pinch bolt on the internal handle, with the right lock cable then adjusted at the pinch bolt on the left lock.

XJ-S Electric Windows

Slow windows. The offside electric window is painfully slow dropping and rising. Can you advise a home mechanic solution?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Slow windows are often caused by the felt wearing away in the guide channels. A squirt of silicone lubricant can help, but if there is too much wear replacement of the felt is the only option. However, do check first that the grease in the lower guide channel hasn't set rock hard.

XJ-S Rear Radius Arms

The rear radius arms are showing signs of rust and the bushes are wearing. My mechanic is reluctant to start dismantling them as they are seized and he is concerned that the bolts will shear off and lead to ridiculous repair costs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The forward bolts normally rust above the thread inside the bush mounting boss and they will take a fair degree of force. If, though, nothing will move them, try first heating the bolt and then drilling a small hole in the boss above the bush to squirt WD40 or similar through to lubricate the end of the bolt. The most important thing is not to strip the thread in the boss itself.

The rear bolt can seize inside the bush and in extreme cases it may be necessary to heat the inner bush sleeve, or even cut the arm off and chisel the sleeve off of the bolt. New arms complete with bushes are, however, still available. A practical option, particularly if the original arm is starting to rust.

Winter Storage Issues

Every winter I park my 2000 S-Type 4.0 litre in the garage for six months. I disconnect the battery and pour some fuel stabiliser in the tank. Also, I have been inflating the tyres to 50psi. so that I don't to get flat-spots, but I am thinking of putting the car up on jacks.

What are the pros and cons of such a move and if it's a good idea, what kind of stands should I buy, and where exactly do I position them?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The problem with putting the car on stands is that no matter where they are positioned the suspension will drop to some degree, stressing the bushings and dampers and almost certainly negating any benefit to the tyres.

One measure we would recommend is the fitment of a battery conditioner, but be sure to use the 'intelligent' type, which systematically drains and recharges the battery as if it were still in normal use, but without ever overcharging. With the degree of electronic complexity on modern Jaguars this method is preferable to just unplugging everything for months at a time.

XJ40 – Variable Idling Speed

I have a 1995 XJ40 Daimler Double Six that is normally laid up for six months each year. When the car was taken out of storage this year it started no problem, but when ticking-over the revs constantly fall and rise between 1,000 - 2,500 rpm.

I suspected the choke, but don't know for certain as when driving the car, it drives perfectly with no variation in speed or revs, but when I stop and return to neutral the revs start to pulse again. Any ideas on this would be very much appreciated.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It sounds as though something is causing the idle to rise well above even its normal cold setting; the high idle speed coupled with a closed throttle signal is then triggering the overrun cutout, bringing the revs down only to have them rise again straightaway. Look for a damaged, cracked or disconnected hose somewhere in the induction system.

The cold start idle speed valve is located at the lefthand rear corner of the engine and uses a wax bulb to expand and close off (substantially, not totally) the additional air intake. They do fail, but without an additional source of air would only raise the idle speed to the normal cold start setting of around 1,000 – 1,200 rpm.

Technical Q&A (cont)

XKR Brembo Brakes

Last year I bought a 2000 XKR with Brembo brakes. The discs and pads were worn all round so I had everything replaced, front and rear. I was advised to wear them in carefully so was very gentle for the first 2 to 300 miles. However, I obviously wasn't careful enough, because after about 2,000 miles the front brakes had developed a pronounced judder when braking from 70mph, which would then ease below about 55mph.

It was so bad that I went to the expense of replacing the front discs for a second time. This time I was even more careful for more like 500 miles; applying gentle braking as much as possible and even slipping the car into neutral when coming to a halt so I wouldn't be sitting stationary holding hot pads to hot discs. Despite this, I now have a judder from about 50mph down to 30mph. I have my car serviced by a very reputable Jaguar specialist and while the discs I bought were not Jaguar originals, I have been assured that they are of equal quality.

I'm reluctant to buy yet another set of discs and am considering having them refinished this time. I'm told that the problem is due to the static contact between two hot surfaces when the car comes to a halt and the transference of minute amounts of pad material to the disc, which then hardens unevenly, turns to cementite and causes the judder.

My questions are, firstly, have I understood that correctly? And, secondly, regardless of whether I have them reground or replaced, what advice can you give for running them in other than what I had done previously. Should it really be this difficult?

The causes of the judder you mention all require high levels of heat build-up; cementite is formed from the iron in the disc contact area at extreme temperatures, and is unlikely to be the cause of your symptoms.

First, ensure that the disc and pad materials are compatible and preferably specified for use together by the manufacturer. Then check that the hub flange is perfectly clean before firing the machined discs.

Once fitted, disc run-out should be measured with a dial indicator and compared with the specified tolerance.

Also ensure that the calipers have no partially seized pistons and that without pedal pressure the pads can 'relax' and move fractionally away from the disc

The Brembo braking system fitted by Jaguar doesn’t offer any significant real-world advantages over the standard set-up other than looking good behind the alloy wheels. They unfortunately are also very expensive to maintain and have a much shorter service life.

X-Type Buzzing Noise

I've recently purchased a 2002 automatic X-Type V6 that has only covered 23,000 miles and it drives like a dream. The only problem I have is that I can hear a very slight buzzing noise coming from the dash area with the ignition key removed. I've had no problems with flat batteries etc. My local Jaguar dealer mentioned that a diagnostic tool may find the fault, but this all sounds rather expensive if it’s the norm.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How long does the noise last? Some of the electronic systems in these modern Jaguars can take up to half an hour to shut down once the car has been switched off; the X-Type in particular is very hard on batteries.

Any noise that remains constantly should be investigated, either with a diagnostic tool or the old fashioned way — dropping the trim panel and tracing the sound to its source.

Mk 2 Footwell Water Leak

I have a 1965 Mk 2, which leaks water into the footwells when it rains. I have checked and sealed the windscreen but to no avail. Does the cold air vent/scuttle have a drainage hole that could be blocked?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Mk 2 does indeed have a plenum chamber (below the scuttle vent) drain tube; it is a small pipe protruding from the bulkhead beneath the heater unit fan motor. If water builds up in the chamber it will eventually run back into the car via the ventilation system; in some cases, the bottom of the plenum chamber itself can rust out, with similar symptoms.

XK8 Steering Vibration

I have bad steering wheel vibration at 70mph. The dealer went rebalanced everything, but without success. The car was then tested with a completely different set of wheels, but the vibration was still there. The dealer used the latest laser wheel alignment check, but to no avail. Another Jaguar specialist has had a look at the car and completed all the same tests and said that there is a steering wheel vibration at 70/80mph, but cannot find the problem. Discs, bearings and bushes have all been double-checked.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is a chance that the wheel hub itself is distorted slightly. If all else fails, try a replacement hub flange in a new wheel bearing. Also, if the early type plasticcased lower wishbone bushes are still fitted they should be replaced with the later metal type.

Technical Q&A (cont)

XK8 Headrests and Japanese

I recently purchased an ex-Japanese 2001 XK8 Coupe and hadn't had the car long when the headrests stopped working. I was advised by my local Jaguar dealer that the headrest motors required replacing, so I organised for the work to be done. Everything was good, but then less than three months later, the same thing happened again. The Jaguar dealership is replaced the headrest motors under the parts warranty, but I was wondering if you have heard of this being a problem?

The second query is actually to do with the fact that the car is a Japanese import. All the language in the car is Japanese including the warning alerts, the satellite navigation etc. Is there a way to change the language to English? There has been an attempt made to modify the language via Jaguar Diagnostics — which resulted in the suggestion that we learn Japanese! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

While we have not heard of the seat motors themselves failing, there have been several cases where the control module under the seat has developed a fault and subsequently jammed a motor at or beyond its range of travel. These modules are unfortunately programmed with the VIN of the car: this means if a replacement is fitted, they will need reprogramming.

Language is selectable via the trip meter mile/km button on the dash; press and hold the button while switching the ignition key to position II (warning lights illuminated), the current language will then be displayed in place of the odometer reading for ten seconds. Cycle through the language options repeatedly by pressing the mile/km button and then the A/B button when the desired language is shown. Exit the menu by pressing CLEAR or starting the engine. The satellite navigation will of course require a local DVD upgrade.

X308 - Best Engine?

I am interested in buying a 1998 XJ. Can you advise me which is the better engine. The 3.2 or 4.0 litre?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Other than lacking the variable valve timing of the naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre, the 3.2 is structurally identical, achieving its capacity reduction through a shorter stroke. Performance is more leisurely than the 4.0-litre and most noticeable in stop-start traffic.

With a similar kerb weight to the 4.0 litre car, the 3.2 litre cars do not offer any real economy advantage except perhaps at light throttle cruising. Around town they can actually use more fuel. As for reliability, the 3.2 litre can suffer from all of the usual AJ-V8 problems such as water pump, timing chain and Nikasil failure, though not, of course - failure of the VVT units.

2000 S-Type Gear Lever Issue

I have a 2000 model S-Type 3.0-litre V6 with manual transmission. Could you please tell me how to remove the trim around the lever and whether it is possible to replace the gear lever knob.

Also, the gear lever itself vibrates, making a metallic sound at certain revs; can this be rectified?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The gear lever knob should release with a quick upward pull, though sometimes it may be necessary to cut the nylon sleeve at the base with a sharp knife.

To remove the leather gaiter, first remove the knob, then apply upward force to release the top half of the console (unfortunately brute force is the only way), then unscrew the gaiter from the transmission tunnel.

The looseness in the lever may be due to a worn lower bush or linkages, both of which can be replaced without dropping the gearbox from the car.

XJ6 - Noisy Transmission

I have an XJ6 three-speed auto box fitted to my 1964 S-type, as the original DG box had given up the ghost. It has been fine for about 500 miles, but now when starting and idling there is a clunking/knocking noise coming from the front of the transmission.

I removed the starter motor and had it fully checked and serviced and it was found to be fine. When the revs are increased the knocking/clunking metallic noise disappears only to return again at idle.

I looked at the flywheel through the bottom inspection plate, all the teeth are fine, and it does not appear to be loose or bent.

All the oil levels are correct and the gearbox appears to be working fine when driving. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The most likely cause of your noise will be a cracked drive plate where it mounts to the torque converter, a common problem with the Borg Warner model 65 and 66 transmissions.

With the front lower cover panel removed, turn the ring gear manually while looking for the tell-tale lines spreading out around the bolt heads. If the drive plate is OK, suspect a collapsed thrust bearing in the torque converter.

Advertisers and sponsors who place advertisements in the magazine do so because they value their association with the JDCSA. Placement of these advertisements should not necessarily be taken to mean the Club endorses the services offered.

JDCSA February 2026 General Meeting Minutes

Minutes of the JDCSA General Meeting held on Tuesday, 3rd February 2026 at The Junction Hotel, Anzac highway.

Meeting opened at 7:30 with Moira welcoming everyone to the first meeting of 2026.

Apologies:

Tricia & Peter Clarke, Tim & Sue White, Peter & Heather Buck, Di & Roger Adamson, Jonathan & Carolyn Harry, Dave Burton, Suzanne Jarvis, Arcadia Komaromi.

New Members:

Craig & Carrie Merritt - two Daimler Majestic Major Limousines and Ian Young XK140.

Welfare (Steve Weeks): No welfare issues known of at the moment.

Previous Minutes:

Minutes of the 28th October meeting were accepted. Moved by Barry Kitts and Seconded by Phil Prior.

Business Arising:

General Meeting venue: After reviewing all the feedback, pros and cons and given no redevelopment on the horizon, Executive has decided that The Junction shape and size of the Stable Room best meets our needs, born out by the attendance of 94 at the Christmas Dinner meeting.

In addition, we have gained approval to bring one or two cars into the room for displaying at meetings.

President’s Report (Moira):

▪ Traffic Marshal training – we have two new volunteers, from the member survey,who will attend the All British Day training session on Fri 6th Feb.

▪ Classics in the Park – if we could get 6-8 cars interested in forming a Club display at this event on 15th March that would be good. No interest forthcoming however.

▪ Lockup - In December we were advised by National Storage that their site was being redeveloped and we had to vacate by 1st March. The subgroup acted quickly and a new lockup was secured by 31st December at U Store It on Daws Road, Melrose Park. Thanks go to Peter Thomas, Graham Franklin, Dave Burton,

Fred Butcher and Tom Brindle who achieved the whole move of items in one day. Feedback from those who have seen it, is that it is a great and very accessible facility.

▪ Annual Presentation – have decided to hold as a lunch event this year and possibly alternate years as a dinner event.

▪ Strategic Planning – diagram prepared by Tim was shown on screen as the thinking behind what is important for the future outlook for our Club. Exec members have been busy recently on a number of actions.

▪ Communciations – apart from the excellent and much envied Classic Marque for which Graham needs to be congratulated, Phil has rationalised the number of Facebook sites that had mushroomed over time and the new look single site is proving popular.

▪ A focus group to hear from younger, working age members about what they want from the Club has been arranged.

▪ Steve and Bruce have developed suggestions for increasing technical content in the Club’s activities, to be discussed at the next Exec meeting.

▪ Register Secretaries met to coordinate the events calendar and to share and document ideas for events to aid their roles.

▪ Succession planning – Register Secretaries (and other Exec members) will be looking for members who can provide support to their roles, along with Exec continually reviewing whether the number of meetings they are required to attend can be reduced.

Secretary’s Report:

Correspondence In: The latest Directory of FHMC member clubs - will be held by the Secretary if anyone wants to make contact with other historic motoring clubs to hold joint events.

Magazines from the Queensland and NSW Clubs that will be added to the library.

Treasurer’s Report (Peter Thomas): January has been quiet, all accounts are reconciled and Peter is working on a procedures guidelines document to assist incoming Treasurers in the future.

Membership Secretary’s Report: Daphne reported although only one new member in January, membership is looking healthy with 4 new applications for the March magazine.

Regalia Report:

Previous plans to have just in time online ordering of regalia items has changed with new management of our previous supplier. Other options are being researched and new member Craig Merritt suggested another avenue to be followed up.

A five minute table discussion was then initiated to gain the views of those present as to whether they wanted regalia at all, Jaguar generic branded, or Club specific regalia. The feedback was that Club specific regalia is valued and so Executive will continue searching to find a practical solution and a regalia coordinator.

MSCA (Barry Kitts):

Feb 15th presentation picnic at Mt Barker Oval from 1:00 pm, everyone welcome to attend. No sporting events on the calendar yet.

Register Reports

SS/Pushrods (Graham): Border Run planned for November.

XK, Mk 7,8 & 9 (Steve Weeks): The dates for events for the year have been set and on TidyHQ in some cases with details to be advised. Day runs and lunches at hotels best suited to the age profile of the Register.

The McLaren Vale Vintage and Classic is on 12th April and members need to register as the venue we will be assigned is number dependent, but likely to be Serafino. More info to be communicated to members.

Any General or New Business

▪ John Flanigan from Ramco in the Riverland, and an XJ Register

E,

F

member, has volunteered to organise a run encompassing several of the Riverland towns and points of interest. A number of members and Register Secretaries expressed interest and John will liaise through the President and Bob Charman.

▪ Phil spoke about the rationalisation of the Club Facebook sites, especially in relation to attracting new and younger members.

▪ Jo Orford asked that if the Register Secretaries had met to coordinate the Events calendar, why were there two meetings in a row on 10th and 11th February? The issue has been raised before and Daff responded that the XJ Register will consider changing their meeting to avoid this happening.

▪ Alan Bartram needs more traffic marshals for All British Day, but good that 2 more members are

being trained up. Further training is planned before SA Jag Day.

▪ Looking forward to bringing a feature car in as a meeting highlight and members are encouraged to make suggestions for any guest speaker ideas for future meetings.

In lieu of a guest speaker, and to encourage further socialisation for this first meeting of the year, Moira produced a Powerpoint of an interesting automobile and fashion museum they visited in Malaga, Spain, for members to watch whilst enjoying supper.

Meeting closed at 8:25pm but supper attendance extended until after 9:30pm.
