Club Torque - President’s Report (June 2025)

May was another busy month with all Registers having met at least once; the highly successful ‘Just British Car & Motorcycle Clubs' Picnic at Birdwood –once again, well done Steve, Philip and Tim – done and dusted.

Those that registered but didn’t show missed out on an excellent day.

Many have taken the opportunity to renew Logbooks at either a Register meeting or the General Meeting – there are more opportunities in the near future (refer to the calendar in this issue).

Tony Ey from RAA was the guest speaker at our May General Meeting and was, as predicted, entertaining, informative and only slightly embarrassing.

Reports suggest that Mrs. Peg Lindner’s offer of free parts was a win-win for all. An excellent month of JDCSA events.

Members have received a Member Survey and at the time of writing many of you have taken the five minutes or so to complete it. This will assist the Executive Committee in planning for the future. It is your club and your opinions and wishes matter; thank you for responding so positively. When the responses have been collated there will be feedback to members.

The Annual Dinner registrations are open and I encourage you to do so now; it promises to be a great night like last year.

A quick reminder that we are still looking for a volunteer to step-up as Jag Day Co-ordinator – there is only a little over four months until the scheduled date. The groundwork has mostly been done and Philip has what is essentially a manual on how to manage the event. It just needs someone to do it.

While banging the volunteer-requestdrum we will also need a new Compact Register Secretary after the AGM as Philip has indicated he will be stepping down; again over to you.

By the time you are reading this – I’m assuming some do read it – Josephine and I will be at Noosa, QLD enjoying what those at the ABC refer to as “a wellearned break” for a couple of weeks. Tim will be in the chair for the June General Meeting.

That is all from me for now; I’m off for a swim or lunch or glass of wine – well you get the drift.

Until next month, mind how you go.

Michael

Why did the race car driver take a nap during the Le Mans 24 Hour race?

Because he wanted to gain some "lap time"!

Club Torque - Editor’s Column

It is hard to think of a "Feature" article each month, especially given that over time, Classic Marque has covered in detail every Jaguar/Daimler produced, as well as feature anniversaries etc.

Recently I restarted a series, “On this Day” in an attempt to keep Jaguar history and memories alive. As one searches records each month and hits June, one is overwhelmed with articles relating to the 24hrs of Le Mans.

In total, Jaguar cars have raced at the 24hour race on 27 occasions. 14 from 1950 to 1964. So this month there is a 50s-60s Le Mans feature. I hope you get to read each race summary, as there are some amazing life and death stories.

This month covers Club Events and many Jaguar related stories including a review of the New MY26 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition of which there will only be 60 such examples available

to Australian buyers. It’s a bargain! (Just $182,235 before on-road costs).

Thank you to everyone that provided stories and photos for this edition, in particular, Trevor Norley, Angela Rogers and new member Peter Panagaris. Jan and I are off to Bali for 9 weeks to get out of the cold, so if you don't want to go back to a 20-page edition full of adverts, please send me your stories - I'm taking my lap top! Cheers Graham

Letter From the MG Car Club

On behalf of the MG Car Club SA, President and committee, please pass on our thanks for the invitation to be a part of your inaugural event at the National Motor Museum. The planning and organisation was excellent as was the promotion of the event by your club which resulted in an impressive response from British car clubs.

Our club members were enthusiastic to enter from the beginning and we finished with 40 cars, one travelling from Wallaroo which was fantastic.

We will have no hesitation in supporting a future event with an even greater number of cars, given the positive feedback we have received.

When you see an organiser like Steve Weeks do what he did, spend time in the ICU and still make it to Birdwood, it shows a lot of confidence that things are in good hands going forward.

Thank you,

Lynden Burns (MGCCSA Parades & Displays Co-ordinator)

Logbooks Checked by Police

Contrary to the general assumption that Police do not check logbooks, some drivers received a surprise when they left the Clubs Birdwood event.

Not long on the road, their cars were pulled over for a breath and drug test

NOTICE BOARD

where they were also required to hand over their logbooks.

The Police checked for correct entries plus a quick look to make sure the car hadn't been driven more than the maximum number of times.

New Members

The following application for membership has been lodged with the Membership Secretary and are listed in accordance with clause 5.4 (b) of the Constitution.

Editor (they waved me on)

The following applications listed in the May, 2025 Classic Marque magazine have been accepted:

◊ James Findlay: TBA when a vehicle is available

◊ David Roach & Dexter Pascua:

New Members Story - Peter Panagaris

OCCUPATION: Licensed Motor Dealer and Automotive Valuer.

I am a new member of the JDCSA and I am currently a member of the Wanderer’s Rock & Roll Car Club which I formed back on the 22nd of September 2004. I saw the need for this sort of club as a Rock ‘n’ Roll music and car enthusiast, whose main aim was to promote the music and Classic Cars from the early 50’s and 60’s.

I am also a member of the Adelaide Hot Rodders as I own several Hot Rods. My main car is my 1934 Ford 3 window coupe.

The other club that I am a member of is not a car club interestingly enough, it is the Golden Grove Lions Club. I have been a member and Past District Governor of Lions International for 45 years and still going strong. I have enjoyed helping people less fortunate than myself over this period of time and it felt good serving the community, both at home and abroad.

My interest in cars started at a young age when I attended the Croydon Boys Technical High School. I commenced an automotive apprenticeship with State Motors Holden at Richmond. I then worked for AD Taylor in the crash repair industry at Thebarton before opening my used car yard at Hampstead Gardens.

The very first car that I bought was a 1952 FX Holden. I remember going to see the bank manager at age 16 with my mother for a 60 pound loan which was not given due to me not having any collateral. Still to this day, I do not understand how you can expect a 16 year old, to have any collateral when you don’t own anything. Well today it’s a different story.

Over the years I must have owned close to 100 classic cars ranging from a 1964 Mini Cooper to 1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. The cars in between were Holden’s Ford’s, MG’s, Monaro’s, GT Falcon’s, Mustang’s, Corvette’s, Camaro’s, Pontiac Trans Am’s, Cadillac’s to name but a few.

I remember in my younger days owning a Morris 1100 which I was really fond of as it was with me for a few years. I had to change the gearbox and I didn’t have any spare money to buy a Gasket Set so I used the wife’s wedding gown box to make up a sump gasket which worked fairly well.

My love affair with Jaguars was when I first saw a Mark II at an auction. I really wanted that car but could not afford it. I ended up buying a Mark 1 several months later and I soon realised why the Mark 2 was so much more superior. My Mark 1 was only a 2.4 and was gutless. It didn’t handle very well as all of the front end needed reconditioning.

Today, in my English line up I have a:

◊ 1963 Jaguar Mark 2, 2.4 Automatic;

◊ 1961 Jaguar Mark 2, 3.8 manual 5 speed;

◊ 1963 Jaguar Mark 10, Automatic;

◊ 1964 Daimler 2.5, V8 Automatic;

◊ 2002 X-Type 2.5 AWD;

◊ 2008 XF 4.2 V8 Automatic; and

◊ 2008 Mini Cooper S manual 6 speed.

I like a lot of different car brands and had the opportunity in owning most of them.

My only minor regret was selling my 1963 E-Type which was quite rusty. I sold it to buy another classic at that time. The car that I really wanted back in the day was an immaculate 365 Ferrari, but again funds were not enough to secure it.

I have no real regrets, I have had a wonderful life in the automotive industry and enjoyed every minute of it, especially the wonderful people you meet along the way making it a major part of the journey.

Review: New MY26 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition

Jaguar bids farewell to internal combustion with a limited-edition supercharged V8-powered SUV that will leave you smiling for days.

Just 60 examples of the MY26-plated Ultimate Edition will be available to Australian buyers, which takes the already well-specified F-Pace SVR 575 Edition and throws the options book at it. It’s priced from $182,235 before onroad costs.

Ninety years of history and heritage. It says so right on the centre console. “Est. 1935, Coventry.”

Now, in 2025, it all comes down to this, the last-ever V8 from the British brand as it pushes on towards its highly publicised electric future.

But not before this final – and fitting – farewell. It’s the 2025 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition, and in this instance, the word 'ultimate' takes on its true meaning.

It’s a long way from Coventry in September 1935, when the first car to bear the Jaguar name, the SS 2½ Litre, announced the brand’s arrival. With a lusty 2664cc inline-six, the SS 2½ Litre set the template for the following 90 years – sleek lines, powerful engines and luxury materials.

It’s a template still evident today in the car we have here, the last-ever Jaguar V8, which serves not just as a farewell, but also a celebration of 90 years of the British brand’s heritage.

Let’s look at what makes the Ultimate Edition the, well, ultimate edition.

Aside from the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 under the bonnet – which has been specially tuned by the good folk at Special Vehicle Racing (SVR, hence the name) to make 423kW and 700Nm – a V8 that growls and purrs, sometimes roars, like the leaping cat that gives the Jaguar its name, there’s a rich list of bling that sets this last V8 apart from those that came before.

Externally, the Ultimate Edition is distinguished by a swathe of gloss black styling elements. Everything from the grille to the 22-inch alloy wheels, bonnet vents, gills, mirror caps, window surrounds, roof rails and badging is finished in a high-gloss black which, when contrasted against the Sorrento Yellow paint of our test car, looks not only special, but rather menacing.

Red brake calipers, also part of the Ultimate Edition, add a splash of fiery contrast.

Inside, powered front seats with heating and cooling are wrapped in ebony semi-aniline leather, a material used throughout the cabin. There’s also privacy glass, a head-up display, and carbon-fibre trim finishes throughout.

For buyers who might find yellow a bit over-the-top, the Ultimate Edition’s palette has you covered with traditional British Racing Green and Icy White in gloss and Ligurian Black in Satin also available.

Standard equipment carried over the ‘regular’ F-Pace SVR includes LED headlights and daytime running lights, heated and powered side mirrors, heated steering wheel, power-adjustable steering column, dual-zone climate control and ‘bright metal’ pedals.

There’s an 11.4-inch infotainment touchscreen with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wired and wireless), DAB+ digital radio, a premium Meridian sound system, and wireless smartphone charging.

The full gamut of Jaguar’s safety technologies and advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) is also included.

Rivals?

There are some, but arguably none will offer the same dose of nostalgia for a brand that is about to change completely and irrevocably. Spending $181,800 will land a Porsche Cayenne S and its 4.0-litre V8 in your driveway, while the MercedesAMG GLE63 S is priced significantly

higher at $266,900.

Closer to JLR home, a Range Rover Sport P530 Autobiography is priced from $233,961, while the Land Rover Defender 130 P500 V8 starts at $216,197. All prices before on-road costs and options.

Certainly, on price when compared against its main rivals, there’s a good dose of ‘bang-for-your-buck’ in the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition.

Should I buy a Jaguar F-Pace?

This is it. Performance SUVs, heck performance cars in general, with V8 power are increasingly thin on the ground. And in the case of the MY26 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition, soon to be thinner.

It’s the last of the breed. The last-ever V8 from a brand that has over the last 90 years given us some of the world’s most iconic cars.

Extinction looms for the F-Pace, so if you’re after a supercharged V8 SUV with soul and character, then this could be the one for you.

Jaguar’s next chapter awaits, and while its new era may well give us electric vehicles that are faster and more accomplished, it’s hard to imagine them being imbued with the same character, that same visceral quality that the first 90 years of the brand has provided.

Contact Solitaire Jaguar and get one while you still can. .

The MY26-plated Ultimate Edition is basically an F-Pace SVR 575 Edition with the option book thrown at it. It’s priced from $182,235 before on-road costs. Just 60 examples will be available to Australian buyers.

Free First Aid Training

As a result of our recent Club survey, a number of members expressed their willingness to undertake First Aid Training. Thank you for your interest, it is very much appreciated. We are very keen to ensure we have first aid qualified members available at all our runs/activities.

There are various courses available from June this year onwards with St Johns SA and Red Cross. The courses are either complete first aid (full day) or basic first aid including Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for half a day, your choice. We have an allocation of money to use by the end of this financial year, so we need to book the courses by the 30 June. The training can be carried out from July to December this year.

If you can spare a ½ day or 1 day and are reasonably fit (to carry out some first aid procedures and CPR, you need to be able to kneel down for periods of time), please call me as soon as possible.

Jaguar GT Draws in Buyers Despite Nobody Seeing It!

A close-to-production concept of the eagerly awaited EV will be revealed later this year, before the road-going model lands in 2026

Despite the controversy over the company’s new direction, Jaguar says so far more than 32,000 people have expressed interest in its new all-electric four-door GT before they’ve even laid eyes on the finished car.

The forthcoming Jaguar GT has been hailed by the brand as one of the most ambitious models in its long history.

The British brand’s boss rejected any hint of nervousness about the new direction.

“I’m not saying it will be easy – there will be a lot of conquest and we will definitely sell to multi-car Range Rover households,” he replied. “What is the alternative? Look at what is happening elsewhere – would I want to go into the mid-market or low-end and slug it out?”

He also rejected concerns about moving to an electric vehicle-only plan, commenting that “very few” buyers of six-figure Jaguars will be single-car households; if 430 miles isn't enough range for them, then they will likely also have access to another car.

He also rejected fears about being an electric-only brand, confirming that there are no plans to introduce hybrid or internal-combustion powertrains to Jaguar vehicles. .

Jaguar Type 00 Arrives in Monaco

The ever-controversial Type 00 is currently on a world tour. Its monolithic design ethos has now visited Monaco in Jaguar’s pursuit of elevating its perception as a niche and ultra-luxurious brand.

The springtime coast of Monaco was graced with a dose of British design drama as Jaguar’s striking Type 00 made its local debut over the weekend on a custom-built floating ocean terrace, serving as ‘a high-glamour stage against the Mediterranean’s deep blue hues’.

"Following Type 00’s European debut at Paris Fashion Week, we’re excited to bring the brand to Monaco, the ideal backdrop to showcase Jaguar’s vision for the future of automotive luxury,” said Rawdon Glover, Jaguar’s Managing Director.

Invited guests got a up-close look at the brand’s bold design direction as they sipped drinks and soaked up the Côte d’Azur sunshine. The Type 00 previews a new era for Jaguar as it leans back into

the brand’s heritage of elegant rebellion and avant-garde luxury, although public reception has been lacklustre. .

JLR Cannot Discount Building Cars In U.S.A

JLR has announced its strongest profits for a decade, but uncertainty remains around the potential impact of new US tariffs. New accounts published by the carmaker show that the British marque made a pre-tax profit of £2.5bn for the year ending March 31.

Although JLR welcomed the UK’s new trade deal with the USA, which will see

Donald Trump’s Independence Day tariffs slashed from 25% to 10%, the carmaker still says it ‘cannot discount’ starting manufacturing in the US in response to tariffs on carmakers.

The company says it currently has ‘no immediate plans’ to shift production from the UK and Europe but refused to rule it out in the future.

JLR halted shipments to the US in early April after the original tariffs were announced but restarted these a month later. .

More Than 2,000 I-Pace EV’s To Become Autonomous Taxis

More than 2,000 new Jaguar I-Pace electric cars, which Waymo secured before production was discontinued, are set to be converted into autonomous robotaxis at a new factory in the US.

The EVs will be converted in Arizona by Jaguar contract manufacturer Magna, as part of a push by Alphabet-owned autonomous vehicle firm Waymo to expand its services.

Already completing more than 250,000 autonomous taxi trips each week in Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco, Waymo now wants to expand

to Atlanta, Miami and Washington DC from next year.

Its fleet currently consists of 1,500 vehicles, which are all I-Paces.

Conversion of a further 2,000 I-Paces includes retrofitting an array of hardware, such as roof-mounted lidar, a host of radar sensors, 29 cameras, and integrating its own computing software: the sixth-generation Waymo Driver.

“The Waymo Driver integration plant in Mesa is the epicentre of our future growth plans,” said Ryan McNamara, Waymo's vice-president of operations.

"With Magna, we’ve opened a manufacturing site that enables the cost efficiency, flexibility and capacity to scale our fleet to new heights.”

As the I-Pace is no longer made by Jaguar, the site will also begin to convert new cars, such as the electric minivan from the Chinese Geely Group.

At full capacity, the factory will be capable of converting tens of thousands of vehicles per year, claimed Waymo.

Until now, the Jaguar I-Pace model vehicles were turned into robotaxis in a small production facility in Detroit using a lot of manual labour. From now on, this will be done on a much larger scale in the city of Mesa, just outside the metropolis of Phoenix, where Waymo is already active with its robotaxis.

If Waymo can indeed scale quickly and eventually manage to prepare 10,000 robotaxis per year in the new factory, sales could increase many times over.

Forbes estimates an annual turnover of 100 million dollars for the past year. With a perspective of 1.5 million journeys per week instead of the current 250,000 journeys per week, Forbes calculates that an annual turnover of 2 billion dollars could be possible. .

JLR Seeks New Ad Agency Following Recent Rebrand

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is undertaking a significant shift in its marketing strategy following a controversial rebranding campaign that led to a substantial decline in sales. The company is parting ways with its advertising agency, Accenture Song, and is actively seeking new creative direction to realign with its core brand identity.

Critics: In November 2024, JLR launched a bold rebranding initiative aimed at repositioning Jaguar as an all-electric luxury brand by 2026. The campaign introduced a minimalist 'J' logo, replacing the iconic 'growler,' and featured advertisements devoid of vehicles, focusing instead on vibrant visuals and diverse models with slogans like 'Live Vivid' and 'Delete Ordinary'. This approach was intended to appeal to a younger, global audience and distinguish Jaguar in the evolving automotive market.

However, the campaign faced significant backlash. Critics labelled it as 'woke' and disconnected from Jaguar's heritage. The public response highlighted a perceived departure from Jaguar's traditional values, leading to widespread criticism and mockery.

Industry observers suggest that JLR's experience serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of radical rebranding without adequately considering brand heritage and customer loyalty. .

Ian Callum Unveils Stunning, Modernized E-Type

Ian Callum has uploaded images of a modern E-Type to his social media accounts.

As Jaguar's design chief for 20 years, he designed the F-Type that served as a spiritual successor to the E-Type. In other words, if anyone knows what a modern E-Type should look like, it's Ian. While the redesign clearly acknowledges its roots, the modernized E-Type doesn’t shy away from subtle updates. The iconic elongated hood and graceful curves remain unchanged, but the steel bumpers have been ditched in favour of a sleeker, minimalist look, reminiscent of the E-Type Lightweight. The door handles have also been streamlined, now sitting flush with the body to enhance that clean, contemporary finish.

Furthermore, the headlights and taillights have been upgraded with LED technology, without altering their timeless shape.

At the back, the taillights have been positioned lower, while the dual tailpipes have been enlarged for a sportier look.

The alloy wheels are another standout feature. Inspired by the classic wire wheel design, they’ve been updated with a larger diameter and paired with modern performance tires.

Inside, the cabin merges retro charm with modern tech. A transparent centre

module houses digital gauges and touchsensitive media controls, while the analogue dials and the original toggle switches remain intact. The seats are upholstered in red leather, matching the fabric retractable roof. One can also see a wooden steering wheel, a manual gear shifter, and subtle aluminium accents.

Callum has kept the technical specs under wraps, but it’s pretty clear that this retromod was designed with a combustion engine and a manual transmission in mind. A supercharged 5.0 litre V8 from the F-Type, paired with modern suspension and chassis upgrades, would be the perfect match.

If enough people with the right-sized wallets show interest, it is unlikely that this E-Type will be confined to the digital realm. .

Jaguar Is Ceasing Production of Its Own Vehicles in China

JLR has announced that by October 2025, it will no longer produce the Jaguar XE-L, XF-L and E-Pace models in China.

They will also end production of the JLR/Chery Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport by the end of 2026.

A 50:50 joint venture between UK headquartered JLR and Chinese state-owned auto-maker Chery, was formed to allow production of Jaguar Cars and Land Rover vehicles in mainland China. The Chery Jaguar Land Rover's assembly plant in Changshu commenced production in October 2014.

The move to cease production comes after its joint venture with Chery lost $18.7 million in the last fiscal year.

According to a report from AutoNews, a new range of Chinafocused models is being readied for JLR and Chery to sell under an all-new Land Rover Freelander brand. The lineup will be based on the Chery T1X platform, which was developed with the assistance of JLR as far back as 2016.

The Freelander models will first go on sale in China before other markets that includes the UK, a right-hand drive market, meaning the door is open for the as-yet unknown vehicles to come to Australia. The Freelander will be the ninth Chery brand on sale globally. .

Formula E - Podium At Monaco but Setbacks Continue

With every race they are learning more about the I TYPE 7, but this needs to translate into some big scores for the rest of the season if they wish to retain its 2024 Manufacturers title.!

Monaco: Round 6 (May 3)

◊ Nick Cassidy made great progress through the field from P19 on the grid up to P6, but a late safety car deployment at a critical moment eventually meant a P18 finish.

◊ Mitch Evans was running comfortably in the points before an issue, early investigations identify a fault with the single supplier battery system, dropped him out of contention for a strong result and eventually to a P20 finishing position.

Monaco: Round 7 (May 4)

◊ Nick Cassidy claimed a brilliant first podium of the season climbing from P14 on the grid to third place.

◊ In a race held in damp conditions after a wet qualifying session, the Jaguar TCS Racing #37 driver and the team delivered a strategic masterclass to end the Monaco E-Prix double-header on a high.

◊ Mitch Evans finished P18 after a bold strategy to move up the order did not pay off.

Tokyo: Round 8 (May 17)

◊ Nick Cassidy finished tenth and took the fastest lap in rain-affected Round 8 of the World Championship in Japan.

◊ Jaguar TCS Racing #37 promoted into the top 10 after Mahindra’s Nyck de Vries was penalised for contact with Mitch Evans, which forced the Jaguar TCS Racing #9 to retire whilst challenging for a possible top six result.

◊ Qualifying was cancelled after heavy rainfall, meaning the finishing order from Free Practice 2 set the grid.

Tokyo: Round 9 (May 18)

◊ Nick Cassidy climbed six places to finish seventh in Round 9 of the World Championship in Japan for third consecutive points finish.

◊ Following an accident in qualifying, Mitch Evans was not able to take the start in Tokyo.

◊ Jaguar TCS Racing are now fourth in the Manufacturers’ World Championship, and eighth in the Teams’ standings.

Next Race

Rounds 10/11 of Formula E Season 11 takes place in China – the double-header Shanghai E-Prix being on 31 May and 1 June. .

Easter 2025 In Mildura by Trevor Norley

For a number of years now Rae and I have driven to Mildura to be part of the Mildura Vintage Vehicles Club Biennial Vineland Rally.

The Mildura club put a lot of work into this event, this year they hosted over 80 cars ranging from a 1911 veteran Hupmobile to a 2003 Jaguar XJ 8 piloted by our members Sandy and Bob Mack.

The JDCSA was represented by Margaret and David Bicknell and Alison Webber in a 2002 X-Type, Sandy and Bob in their XJ 8 with Rae and I in our Series 3 XJ 6.

On arrival on Friday the first thing on the agenda was a visit to the Mildura Clubrooms situated in Gol Gol NSW to pick up the rally pack.

Every entrant was the recipient of an Auto Barn large bucket packed with goodies, so much in fact it was hard to lift.

There was car wash, polishing cloths, a cutlery set, elaborate pens, the list goes on, the Rally Sponsors List takes a while to read, evidence of how much work the rally committee had done.

That evening the South Australians (who had been in three states in the one day) visited an Asian restaurant within walking distance of our motel.

Saturday morning saw our three Jags return to NSW to the Buronga Wetlands for the official opening.

The cars were parked in year order for judging by popular vote, a number of entrants were dressed in costume to match the year of their car.

As was to be the norm for the remainder of the weekend the Mildura Club trailer was present with coffee and tea available as well as homemade slices, biscuits and lamingtons.

From the Wetlands we drove to The Men’s Shed at Dareton an incredible insulated building the result of a government grant where we were given a run down on the good work done to aid the community.

Lunch was served here, delightful fresh rolls, then off to a nearby museum with cars, machinery, a step back in time to

give an idea of what life was like way back when.

That evening we returned to the clubrooms at Gol Gol for a roast meal and dessert served in the well-equipped surroundings, many pictures on the walls telling the story of the MVVC which celebrates a sixty-year anniversary next year. During the evening an animated quiz master kept us on our toes with a list of car and general knowledge questions, all in all a fun evening.

Sunday morning dawned all too soon, we were scheduled to start from 8:30 am at a nearby shopping centre to travel to Red Cliffs for a ride on the Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway.

This original locomotive has a fascinating history; a full restoration was undertaken with a duration of three years from 1984-1987.

An enjoyable ride on this train and again a testament to the skilled volunteers who got her back on the rails.

From the railway station a short distance to Quandong Park for lunch, a well maintained grass area where Easter hat/ bonnets judging took place.

A very colourful display, we were impressed by the work and imagination that had gone into some way-out headgear.

Then a drive back to Mildura to a very large display of vintage tractors and cars housed in a purpose-built insulated building.

The tractors from local and overseas manufactures are restored to a very high standard with a paint finish to match any of the refurbished cars that were in the carpark.

There were a nice range of cars in a separate section, one being a nice red XJS HE.

That evening the RSL Club in Mildura was the venue for the presentation dinner.

With the police on just about every corner, and Bob and I hanging out for some red wine the four of us shared a cab into town.

An enjoyable dinner with the winning cars from the various sections receiving prizes.

It was a very good weekend especially with Jag Club mates.

A great rally, with excellent organisation, red arrows to follow and marshals on every corner, even I didn’t get lost.

Trevor Norley.

Swan Reach Auto Classic Car Show

The Mid Murray Classic Car Gallery River Run was held on Saturday and Sunday, April 5 & 6, 2025 at Swan Reach. This family-friendly event featured food, bar, entertainment, and a stunning display of classic vehicles that included two Jaguars and a Daimler with two more in the museum. Congratulations to David and Angela Rogers, for winning the Best British Car on display.

E, F & GT Register Car Run to Finniss

On Friday 16th May 28 club members in 14 cars met at Darlington, on a wet morning, for a run to Finniss General Store for lunch.

Our first stop was for coffee and cake at the very new Main & Cherry cellar door just north of Clarendon. This was

a great venue – we were spoilt with a warm open fire and a choice of cakes to have with coffee or tea.

From here we travelled to Meadows for a pit stop and then onto Finniss for lunch. The meal at Finniss General Store was excellent, so all in all, we

Jaguar Ladies Social Register Lunch

On Thursday 15th May, 17 ladies enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon together at the very smart recently renovated Flagstaff Hotel. Unfortunately, three ladies were unwell on the day. Wendy, Robyn and Sue. I hope you are all recovered and back to normal.

Please note, our next event has been changed to Thursday 31st July instead of the Thursday 17th July because of the Club Dinner the next evening 18th July. We are booked for a “High Tea” at Utopia, Waterfall Gully. Please put it in your diary ladies, it’s sure to be another

fun day. Details will be published on Tidyhq closer to the date.

See you all then!

The weather forecast I read on Friday said that finally in Adelaide it might rain over the weekend, good news after such a long dry spell, however not too good if you are about to head to the Clare Valley for the weekend.

Over recent weeks David Bicknell and I have been planning “Cinema In The North” a run to the movies in a delightful restored cinema in Blyth and then next day to the seaside town of Port Broughton for a Show "n" Shine.

Dawn came on Saturday morning, cool but no rain, great start, and headed to Carisbrooke Park by then warmer to find Phil from Caparezza Coffee all set up and ready to start your choice of beverage from his stunning orange wheeled Fiat.

Cinema In the North

The journey started with free coffee from a mobile vendor (Caparezza Coffee).

The very well attended event was waved off by Michael Pringle.

Cinema In the North (cont)

I had met Phil while driving a wedding for Classic Jags (in a Series 1 XJ 6) and saw him in action serving coffee to the wedding party with cheerful efficiency.

Our people who were starting to arrive where impressed to say the least, quality coffee and hot chocolate served with little delay from a compact space.

Always love the start of a Jag run, this one was something else, Jaguar E-Types, an XK 150, XJC, XJS, XJ’s, X-Types looking good.

I had asked President Michael to join us for a coffee and then put him to work to wave us off with his Jaguar flag (thanks mate) all this unfolding to the delight of passers-by.

First stop was a bakery in Sevenhills, The Little Red Grape, our lunch stop at this award-winning venue.

Great service given the arrival of fifty plus people again with little delay, an incredible range of cakes and pastries.

By this time, it had blossomed into a great day with the sun shining and such a great atmosphere it wasn’t easy to get our convoy to leave.

Then onwards to Blyth where Ian our hard-working host who sell the tickets as well as the ice creams and runs the films gave us the story on how it all began.

The show opened with the incomparable singer, Tina Turner performing her smash hit ‘Simply The Best’, by chance it was two years to the day since Tina’s passing.

I should highlight that Superstar Doris Dazed, aka David Bicknell, introduced our programme.

Our first feature was three interesting stories on the Jaguar XJ6 range and the X-Type the feature film

‘Jerry & Marge Go Large” a good movie based on a true story.

As I told the girls we planned to open with a story on the Milan fashion show and a makeup feature however the reels did not arrive in time.

Our next drive was to our accommodation in Burra, after check in it was happy hour before taking the short walk to the Burra Hotel the venue for our Saturday evening meal.

Another great meal, this time at the Port Broughton Hotel

Cinema In the North (cont)

The hotel was welcoming with a warm atmosphere and a really good selection on the menu, after dinner I had put together a quiz and a raffle.

This was a lot of fun, had some laughs, and in XJ Register tradition every player left with a prize.

The Sunday morning lived up to the Burra legend of being cold, I noted the ice on the windscreens of the Jags as I walked to join David, Margaret and Alison to get Breakfast started, thinking whose idea was this.

However, with sausages, eggs and bacon on the BBQ and the high spirits of our Jaguar drivers in evidence the cold was soon forgotten.

The next move was to Port Broughton where our Jaguar and Daimler drivers were to be part of the Show ‘n ‘Shine, the weather at this point could only be described as ideal, as twenty plus JDCSA club cars were parked on a grassed area on the sea front.

We were given a goody bag on arrival with a certificate of appreciation enclosed and a voting slip.

There were food vendors, coffee vans on site and a good café in walking distance, in all a well-planned event with free entry.

What really made the day was when I learned that from 160 very nice cars the best of show award went to members of the JDCSA.

Congratulation to Cindy and Noel Schmidt who took it out with their E-Type convertible.

My family enjoyed dinner together with Cindy and Noel the previous evening where there was a stack of laughs and the odd red wine consumed.

That evening we gathered at The Port Broughton hotel for the traditional happy hour and then into the dining room for another good meal and more laughs.

Last week I spoke to Lori Ireland the lady who with her team coordinated the 'Show ‘n' Shine' and asked her if she would choose her favourite car from The Jaguar Drivers Club.

Betty Moore had embroidered a set of towels with the Leaping Cat for us for this special prize which went to Steve and Cecilia for their XK 150. I had a chamois and sponge set which I presented to Trish much to Peter’s delight.

Lori told me it was a very close call. On behalf of Bob our XJ Register secretary, David and I would like to thank our entrants for joining us for the weekend.

For my part it was really good to have members from other registers join us, next time we put something together we would love to see you again

Trevor Norley

Lori did not take this task lightly and walked the row a few times before the field was narrowed to two cars, Peter and Tricia Clarke’s glorious E-Type and Steve and Cecilia Schubert’s outstanding XK 150.

“Just British Car & Motorcycle Clubs Picnic"

This event held at The National Motor Museum, Birdwood SA, was the ‘brainchild’ of Steve Weeks when he heard that the McLaren Vale Vintage & Classic and the British Classics Tour had both been cancelled for 2025.

Steve, together with assistance from Philip Prior, Tim White, Bruce Davis and Register Secretaries, managed to put the whole event together and deserves our thanks for both organising the event and promoting our club.

Unfortunately, in the week leading up to the event Steve had an unscheduled and

unwanted stay in hospital but with the assistance of his trusty lieutenants and club volunteers, the show went on.

Other SA British Car Clubs were invited to join us in a casual picnic style gathering. This event also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar XJ-S, the Jaguar XJC and Daimler Sovereign Coupe and the 70th anniversary of the Jaguar Mk 1, and Jaguar Mk 7M as well as 30 years of the XJ X300. Entries were limited to 250.

On behalf of the MG Car Club SA, the President thanked the JDCSA for the

invitation to be a part of the inaugural event. (See letter page 5).

Finally, a thank you to the National Motor Museum, Birdwood and their dedicated staff and volunteers. Will the event happen again? We will have to wait till next year to see.

“Keeping Jaguar Memories Alive” - On this Day (June)

The last E-type was built on 12 June 1974 and is maintained by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT).

HDU 555N was part of a run of 50 cars commemorating the end of the E-type, all of which wear a plaque bearing Sir William Lyons' signature.

There are things missing off this car. It doesn't have fog lights or reversing lights and no wing mirrors. The story is, whether it's a myth or not, that they started to run out of bits as they were building those last 50 cars. It's said that they started off with two reversing lights, then they ended up with one, and the last ones didn't have any.

It is really quite believable knowing how Jaguar was back then. .

The very first XK8 left Browns Lane production line on the 4th June 1996.

The XK8 (project code X100) is a grand tourer and the first generation of a new XK series. The XK8 was available in two-door coupé or two-door convertible body styles with the new 4.0-litre Jaguar AJ-V8 engine.

In 1998, the XKR was introduced with a supercharged version of the engine. In 2003, the engines were replaced by the new 4.2-litre AJ34 engines in both the naturally aspirated and supercharged variations.

Between 1996 and 2005, Jaguar built 90,064 XKs. The XK8 was replaced by the all aluminium XK (X150) in 2005. .

The Last E-Type was built on 12 June 1974. ( HDU 555N taken with the work force).

On the 12th June 1988 a Jaguar (XJR-9LM 7.0 litre V12) won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was Jaguars first win in 31 years.

“Keeping Jaguar Memories Alive” - On this Day (June)

Geoff Lawson died on the 24 June 1999 from a stoke, aged 54. Geoff was Design Director for Jaguar from 1989 until his death.

In 1984, he joined Jaguar as Director of Styling, where he arguably produced his best known and most influential work. During his 15 years at Jaguar he was responsible for shaping the entire Jaguar line up, including the 1992 XJ220 supercar, the 1995 XJ luxury saloon, the 1996 XK grand tourer and the 1998 S-Type mid-size saloon. Before his death, he also supervised the styling of the 2001 X-Type compact saloon and the completely new aluminium-bodied 2004 XJ.

Geoff won numerous awards for his designs at Jaguar and also led a major expansion of the company’s styling resources and facilities at their Whitley Engineering Centre. .

The first XJ-SC was produced on June 28, 1982, with the last produced on January 26, 1988.

In all 5,013 XJ-SC Cabriolets were built. (1,598 RHD and 3,415 LHD cars). These cars were different in that they had a Targa/Convertible body style with removable Targa panels over the two seater passenger compartment, plus a fabric rear section including the rear window. There was an optional hard top for the rear section.

Whilst there are a small number of the XJ-SC cars with the rear seat conversion, Jaguar Cars only ever produced one such car which was specially built for Princess Diana. The rear roof section on this car was fully secured in place and could not be removed. This conversion was later carried out by several aftermarket companies on owners cars, not with the approval of the works. .

On 29 June 1952, 22-year old Stirling Moss won the Reims GP in a disc brake equipped Jaguar C-type at an average speed of 98 mph.

Stirling Moss first drove a Jaguar in competition in 1950 which led William Lyons to ask him to lead the Jaguar Team, on the day before his 21st birthday! He drove for Jaguar Cars until the end of 1954 and remained a dedicated Jaguar fan.

Sir Stirling was an inductee into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. He won 212 of the 529 races he entered across several categories of competition and has been described as “the greatest driver never to win the World Championship”. In a sevenyear span between 1955 and 1961 Moss finished as championship runner-up four times and in third place the other three times.

The popular American adage of the time – “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” – was particularly apt for Jaguar’s XK120. It was later estimated that extra sales of the US$12 million were generated in the USA alone from their Le Mans C-Type win in 1951. .

Geoff received awards for the striking design of the XK8 coupe and convertible.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1950

The 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans was held on 24 and 25 June 1950. The race was won by the French father-and-son pairing of Louis and Jean-Louis Rosier driving a privately entered Talbot-Lago. Entries

A record 112 entries were received, and 60 were accepted for the start. But this year, the big news was the first appearance of Jaguar – with three new 3.4L XK-120S. Factory-prepared, they were released to select private entrants to test the waters. [Leslie Johnson (UK) and Bert Hadley (UK) (car No. 17); Peter Whitehead (UK) and John Marshall (UK) (car No. 16); and Peter Clark (UK) and Nick Haines (UK) (car No. 15).]

Practice

Practice showed that the new Ferraris were fastest, with a record five-minute lap time, just ahead of the Talbot-Lagos.

The Race

At the halfway point (3.00am), it was the two Talbots, then a lap back to the Johnson/Hadley Jaguar, and the Rolt/ Hamilton Nash-Healey.

By midday the two Talbots, now a lap apart, three laps back to the Jaguar and a further lap to the Nash-Healey.

With less than 3 hours to go, the Jaguar of Johnson/Hadley had to retire when the clutch finally let go, after the drivers had to use engine-breaking because of a lack of brakes.

In the end, the Talbot-Lago’s had their greatest day – coming 1st & 2nd with a record distance covered. By contrast all five Ferraris retired.

Peter Clark/Nick Haines were 12th, Peter Whitehead/John Marshall 16th

and, although they did not finish, Leslie Johnson/Bert Hadley were classified 30th as the last car to retire.

Jaguar management were satisfied with the performance of their cars – two finished, and the other had run as high as second before retiring, but resolved to fix the brake problems that had troubled all three cars through the race.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1951

The 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 19th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 23 and 24 June 1951.

Entries

Of the 60 cars that started, the biggest sensation were the 3 works cars from

Jaguar after their private entry the year before. The C-Type was Jaguar’s first ever purpose-built racing car. It used uprated running gear from the standard XK120 and a new lightweight chassis that was draped with a pared down aluminium

body designed to efficiently cut through the air. Weighing 450 kg lighter than the XK-120S, The C-Types were capable of a top speed of 160 mph (257 km/h).

The Jaguars were raced by Leslie Johnson/Clemente Biondetti (XJC-001/ Car No.20); Stirling Moss/Jack Fairman (XJC-002/ Car No. 22) and Peter Walker/ Peter Whitehead (XJC-003/Car No.23).

The Race

Just before midnight, after his car had held the lead for more than 7 hours, Moss’ impressive run came to an end –a conrod broke like Biondetti, due to a major loss of oil pressure.

The remaining works Jaguar of Walker/ Whitehead inherited the lead and remained there, winning the race by 9 laps over the second placed car (Talbot). It was Jaguars first win at Le Mans. Rob Lawrie/Ivan Waller in a private entry XK-120S (car No. 21) finished a creditable 11th. This was the last XK120 to race at LeMans.

The 3 privately entered XK-120S lined up prior the start of the 1950 24hr Le Mans race.

The 1951 Le Mans was won by Walker/Whitehead in their works-entered C-Type.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1952

In 1952, Jaguar, worried by a report about the speed of the Mercedes-Benz 300SLs that would run at Le Mans, modified the C-Type’s aerodynamics to increase the top speed. However, the consequent rearrangement of the cooling system

made the cars vulnerable to overheating, and all three retired from the race.

The Peter Whitehead-Ian Stewart and Tony Rolt/Duncan Hamilton cars blew head gaskets, and the Stirling Moss-Peter Walker car, the only one not overheating

having had a full-sized radiator hurriedly fitted, lost oil pressure after a mechanical breakage.

It was an utter disaster and in hindsight, an unnecessary one as the Mercedes turned out to be not nearly as fast as feared. The Jaguars of the previous year could have easily outpaced them.

Testing by Norman Dewis at MIRA after the race proved that the overheating was caused more by the revisions to the cooling system than by the altered aerodynamics.

However, the main drawback of the new body shape was that it reduced downforce on the tail to the extent that it caused lift and directional instability at speeds over 120 mph (193 km/h) on the Mulsanne Straight.

These cars had chassis numbers XKC001, 002 and 011. The first two were dismantled at the factory, and the third survives in normal C-Type form.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1953

In 1953, the C-Types returned to their winning way finishing first, second and fourth.

Based on the 1951 cars, the 1953 cars were upgraded and adopted thinner aluminium bodywork, revised electrical components and rubber fuel tank bags, leading to the unofficial designation of ‘lightweight C-Types’. Indeed, they were around 50Kg lighter than their predecessors. However, the most significant change to the cars was the switch to Dunlop disc brakes, the only vehicles in the race to use disc brakes.

The original twin H8 sand-cast SU carburettors were replaced by three DCO3 40mm Webers, which helped boost power to 220 bhp (164 kW).

The team that went to Le Mans was the same as in 1952: Stirling Moss and Peter Walker (Car 17), Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton (Car 18), and Peter Whitehead and Ian Stewart (car 19).

The Race

Despite initial rough running from all three cars, originally believed to be spark plugs, but eventually turning out to be fuel filters, Hamilton and Rolt had soon built up a commanding lead.

Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt won the race at 105.85 mph (170.35 km/h) –the first time Le Mans had been won at an average of over 100 miles per hour.

The Moss/Walker car was second with the Whitehead/Stuart car coming fourth behind a Cunningham Chrysler 5.5L V8.

Ninth was the privately entered C-Type, entered by Belgian motor racing team Ecurie Francorchamps for Roger

Laurent and Charles de Tornaco, in their standard production C-Type.

Disc brakes were novel in 1953, and Jaguar’s win, partly due to their superiority, set off a scramble to include discs in production cars.

The three celebrity 1953 Le Mans Cars were sold to Ecurie Ecosse and continued to notch up success in production races.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1954

1954 is not on the Marques list of victories at Le Mans, but it saw the debut of a new racing Jaguar which was years ahead of its time and was expected to perform well.

However, in the race the D-Types were hampered by fuel starvation caused by problems with the fuel filters, necessitating pit stops for their removal. The D-Type’s of Moss/Walker (No.12), and Whitehead/Wharton (No.15) retired with mechanical problems and

the remaining D-Type speed up to catch the leading cars.

The race was narrowly won by a 5.0 litre V12 Ferrari, just ahead of Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt in their 3.4 litre D-Type (No.14). It was reported as a thriller right to the end, producing the closest finish for the race since 1933.

Three weeks later the D-Type won the Rheims 12-hour endurance race.

1955 - Catastrophic Accident

Although the three D-Types stole the show for 1954, the C-Type was not completely finished and Belgian Ecurie Francorchamps had entered again. Although not as fast, the C-Type had proven reliability, and like the D-type, it had disc brakes.

The Belgian 3.4L C-Type of Roger Laurent and Jacques Swaters ran like clockwork and finished 4th. This was the last C-Type to race at Le Mans.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1955

For 1955 the D-Types were modified with long-nose bodywork and engines uprated with larger valves.

At Le Mans, they proved competitive with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLRs, which had been expected to win.

Mike Hawthorn's D-Type had a narrow lead over Juan Manuel Fangio's Mercedes when another Mercedes team car was involved in the most catastrophic accident in motorsport history. Driver Pierre Levegh and more than 80 spectators lost their lives, while more than 120 were injured.

Mercedes withdrew from the race. Jaguar opted to continue, and the D-Type driven by Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb went on to win.

Ecurie Francorchamps D-Type driven by Jacques Swaters and Johnny Claes finished 3rd.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1956

Ecurie Ecosse had entered one car for the 1956 24hr Endurance race at Le Mans. Drivers were Ron Flockhart and Ninan Sanderson.

For the ‘56’ Le Mans the works had entered 3 cars. Their pits were adjacent to each other. Within the first couple of laps two of the works cars had an accident, at the end of the Mulsane Straight, hitting a spinning Ferrari, both Jaguars and the Ferrari were out.

The leading Jaguar, with Hawthorn driving, started ‘missing’ at the 12th lap, after numerous pit stops, changing plugs to no effect, the next time in the pits the bonnet was lifted with the motor still running, there was a white mist pulsating, #3 injection pipe had a hairline crack, (it was the first race using the new Lucas fuel injection system). Fortunately, a spare set of pipes were carried under the passenger seat and after replacing the offending pipe, there were no further dramas. During this time of frequent pit stops, Hawthorn dropped from running 1st down to 12th, by the end of the race the Hawthorn/Bueb car came in a very credible 5th.

The single Ecurie Ecosse entry driven by Flockhart/Sanderson came in 1st, beating the Aston Martin driven by Moss/Collins, by 2 laps.

This was the first time that a private entry had won the Le Mans 24hr race.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1957

With no works entries, 5 privately entered D types would hold up the prestige of Jaguar. The two entered by Ecurie Ecosse were Long Nose ex works cars, one being the 3.8L fuel injected car for Ron Flockhart/Ivor Bueb (No. 3).

The other D-Type was a 3.4L that Paul Frère had crashed the previous year.

1957 proved to be the D-Type's most successful year. Jaguar D-Types took five of the top six places and Ecurie Ecosse, with considerable support from Jaguar, finished first and second, the best result in the D-Type's racing history.

The Equipe Los Amigos D-Type driven by Jean Lucas/Jean Brussin finished third ahead of the Equipe Nationale Belge car driven by Paul Frère/Freddy Rousselle with and Duncan Hamilton/ Masten Gregory coming in 6th behind a loan Ferrari, 27 laps behind the winner. The great success of the Jaguars became all the more significant when it is considered that all of the cars were privately entered and matched against the works entries of some of the greatest sport car manufacturers.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1958

The 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans took place on 21 and 22 June 1958. Tragically one of the Jaguar drivers was killed.

Five 3.0 litre D-Types and two Lister Jaguars started the race. Ecurie Ecosse had two of the Jaguars, but both withdrew with broken pistons after only a few laps, traced to defective valve gear.

Soon after the start, the weather (which was to dominate the rest of the race) suddenly changed as an enormous storm swept across the circuit, flooding the track and reducing the visibility to nil. The track was soon awash and a terrible series of accidents began.

But the worst happened in the twilight just after 10pm when Jean-Marie Brussin lost control of his Jaguar going into the sweeping Dunlop curve after the pits, hitting the earth bank, rolling and ending up near the crest of the rise. Unsighted, the next car on the scene was Bruce Kessler's NART Ferrari, running 5th, who smashed into the Jaguar and burst into flames. Kessler was fortunate to be thrown clear, receiving only heavy bruising and broken ribs, but Brussin was killed in the accident.

Duncan Hamilton, running second at the time, was next to the scene but was alerted

by an anonymous spectator throwing his hat onto the track – an action that Hamilton later considered saved his lifeby giving him just enough time to lift off and avoid the wrecked cars.

With less than 4 hours to go, Hamilton was 2nd, but it was another heavy thunderstorm that led to his retirement. Coming into Arnage he was suddenly confronted with a stationary Panhard in the road. Taking avoiding action, he lost control and rolled the Jaguar which

landed upside-down straddling a watersoaked ditch. Once again, he was lucky as two spectators nearby, sheltering from the heavy rain, pulled the unconscious Hamilton out before he drowned.

Of the 7 Jaguar powered cars, only the Lister-Jaguar of Bruce Halford/Brian Naylor finished the race, but well down on the winning Ferrari of Phil Hill.

Only 17 of the 55 cars that started, finished the race.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1959

The five cars in the S-3000 category all had Jaguar-engines. Lister Engineering brought two of their new Frank Costindesigned cars, with another for the Equipe Nationale Belge, while the previously successful Ecurie Ecosse team this year entered both a Jaguar D-Type for Masten Gregory and Innes Ireland and a Tojeiro-Jaguar for Ron Flockhart and Jock Lawrence.

The Jaguars were fast but uncompetitive against the prototype cars of Aston Martin and Ferrari.

However, the Ecurie Ecosse team was still a competitive force, and by 9pm their Jaguar was running second and the Tojeiro in 4th. But as night fell the pace started taking its toll and all the Jaguar engined cars retired. Only 12 of the 54 cars that started, finished the race.

Aston Martin finally achieved their first outright win, finishing 1st & 2nd.

Jean-Marie Brussin, driving D-Type number 11, was tragically killed in one of the many accidents caused by torrential rain that reduced visibility to nil.

Ecurie Ecosse Tojeiro-Jaguar (No.8) driven by Ron Flockhart/John ‘Jock’ Lawrence and Lister Sport (No.1) driven by Ivor Bueb/Bruce Halford and Lister Sport (No.2) driven by Walt Hansgen/Peter Blond at the start of the 1959 Le Mans 24hr race.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1960

Never to give up, Ecurie Ecosse returned with their 6-year-old D-Type that had finished 2nd in 1957, fitted with a 3.0 litre engine and modified with an enlarged windscreen and luggage hump, detracting from its formerly elegant lines. It was driven by Ron Flockhart and Bruce Halford.

The other Jaguar that caused a sensation and marked a welcome return to Le Mans for American Briggs Cunningham. Jaguar Cars had worked with Cunningham, their New York dealer, to prepare one of their new E-type prototypes for competition. The 3-litre XK-engine developed 290 bhp

giving a top speed of 158 mph (254 km/h). Americans Dan Gurney and Walt Hansgen were the drivers.

During official qualifying Dan Gurney in Jaguar E2A collided at 150 mph (240 km/h) with a Ferrari GT. The repaired Jaguar went out for test laps finding its handling was not perfect.

Start

Jim Clark was first away in his Aston Martin but soon overtaken by Walt Hansgen in the Jaguar prototype. However, after 10 hours, E2A blew a head gasket and retired.

The Ecosse Jaguar had been running alternately third and fourth through the night until at dawn at 5.30am it came to a halt at Arnage with a broken camshaft. It was the end of the illustrious D-Type story at Le Mans.

In August 2008, the 1960 Le Man's race car, E2A (VKV 752) sold for US$4,957,000 (AU$7,352,387). At the time it was a world record sale for any Jaguar ever sold.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1962

Jaguar was a notable absentee from the 1961 Le Mans, for the first time since 1950, as there was insufficient time to prepare the new E-types, announced only in March 1961.

For 1962, the 1960 Jaguar E2A prototype had now been homologated as the ‘E-type’ and there were three such cars entered. All were fixed head coupés. The car entered by American Briggs Cunningham (No.10) enjoyed the major benefit of being prepared in the competition department at Browns Lane. It was built up from a bare shell incorporating much of the knowledge gained from preparing the lightened roadster (4 WPD).

The second car, (No. 9) entered and driven by Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden was prepared by Playfords of West Croydon and was actually an open two-seater which had been given a faired-in roof of their own design. It was using a works-prepared engine and gearbox.

The third E-type was another very genuine private entry, this car belonging to former C and D-Type racer Maurice

Charles. The brand new car had been picked up from Browns Lane on May 11, driven to Maurice's garage in Cardiff, was in pieces the same night and, fitted with a D-type cylinder head and gearbox, Mk IX brakes and various other modifications.

The race weekend (23/24 June) was very much one of mixed fortunes for the Jaguars. Maurice Charles' car, co-driven by John Coundley, ran into engine problems in practice and then retired

within four hours after a replacement engine (the 'spare' for the Cunningham car) also expired.

The Lumsden/Sargent E-type was going great guns, however, keeping ahead of Cunningham and Salvadori for 23 of the 24 hours, until oil starvation caused the gearbox to begin seizing. So they ended up fifth, with the Cunningham entry snatching fourth overall, and third in the GT Class to a couple of Ferrari GTOs.

Le Mans 1062. Peter Sargent/Peter Lumsden 3.8 Litre E-Type finished a credible 5th.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1963

Briggs Cunningham was back this year with 3 of the Jaguar E-type ‘Lightweight’ specials overseen by Lofty England. The fuel-injected 3.8 litre engine now developed 310 bhp. Cunningham drove with Bob Grossman (Car No.15), while Walt Hansgen/Augie Pabst drove car No. 14 and Roy Salvadori/Paul Richards raced Car No. 16).

The fourth Jaguar entrant was the last Lister-Costin built Jaguar WTM 446 entered and driven by Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden. Although the chassis was four years old, it was fitted with a D-Type engine and gearbox, so prospects of success at Le Mans seemed good.

The Race

The Briggs Cunningham E-Type driven by Walt Hansgen and Augie Pabst retired after 1 hour with gearbox problems.

Drivers Peter Lumsden and Peter Sargent ran steadily until just after four hours when the clutch bolts sheared. It turned that they were supplied with a bad batch of bolts and it was a disappointing outcome when so much effort had gone into the car.

Six hours into the race Salvadori's Jaguar arrived on major oil spill from a

blown engine and spun at 265 kp/h (165 mph) and crashed into the banking. Fortunately, Salvadori (who had been unable to do up his full harness) was thrown out the rear window as the car burst into flames.

By morning Cunningham and Grossman had steadily moved their Lightweight Jaguar into podium position. However, on Sunday morning the brake pedal

snapped as Grossman came to the end of the Mulsanne straight. The car slammed through three rows of haybales, scattering spectators, but he was able to get the car back to the pits. Stealing parts from their third car that had retired in the first hour, they lost two hours but got back into the race and eventually finished a creditable 9th.

Jaguar at Le Mans - June 1964

Overtime the car was redesigned to reduce drag

with a more raked and flush-fitting windscreen, long tapering extended nose, modified rear and lowered by four inches. (Car No. 17).

At Le Mans the car was very fast and achieved 174 mph (280 km/hr), and they were well positioned, 12th, after five hours, but gearbox trouble developed and they retired at around midnight.

Peter Lindner acquired the 5th all aluminium car built and sent it back to Jaguar to have a Low Drag body grafted onto it in place of the previously removable hard top. (Car No. 16).

During the race, around dawn the Lindner Jaguar was back in the pits, overheating. But with 10 laps until its next permitted refill, it was retired.

Unfortunately, Peter Lindner was tragically killed in the car when it was hit from behind while leaving the pits at Montlhéry near Paris in October 1964.

The Jaguar 3.8L E-Type Lightweights were becoming obsolete and only two privateer entries arrived. Peter Sargent acquired one of the 12 Jaguar

Lightweight E-Types built in 1963, the sixth Lightweight, chassis number 850663, registered 49 FXN.

Jaguar produced 12 ‘Lightweight E-types’ specifically for racing. In 1963 Briggs Cunningham took three of them to Le Mans

In 1964 Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden raced ‘Low Drag’ Lightweight E-Type 49 FXN at Le Mans, retiring with gearbox problems after 80 laps.

UK Magazine - Jaguar World (June 2025)

The June 2025 edition of Jaguar World includes the following feature stories: -

◊ Buying a Mark II: How to get hold of the most iconic compact saloons without getting your fingers burnt.

◊ XJ-S Vs XJC: Internal rivals, but which V12 coupe was best? With the XJC in its model range, it could be argued Jaguar didn’t need a grand tourer. But as it turns 50, was the XJ-S a model displaced?

◊ XE S 380PS Driven: They drive the forgotten Jaguar sports saloon. By being relatively thirsty, expensive and only on sale for a couple of years, the 380PS version of the XE S has always been overlooked. We ask is whether it’s time for that to change.

◊ XKR Silverstone: 25 years of Jaguar's race inspired special edition. Developed to mark Jaguars entry into 2000 Formula 1 World Championship, the Silverstone was one of the best XKR-based limited editions.

◊ Workshop – Polishing and paint rectification: How hard can it be to rectify deteriorated paintwork with a polishing machine and revive the shine?

◊ Uprated E-Type: An early E-type flat floor made much more usable. Power steering, a servo assisted clutch and modern five-speed transmission have transformed this E-Type into the perfect car for touring. But have the updates also removed its personality?

◊ The XJ81 Story: Is the 6.0 XJ12 the most charming XJ40 of all? Rumour suggests that Jaguar intentionally made the XJ40 engine bay too narrow for a V engine to force development of a new six. They examine the story of the car developed in spite of this.

◊ Q&A: A car cover is a useful means of preserving your Jaguar, but what goes into making one that doesn’t scratch the paintwork and is breathable? They speak to cover specialist.

◊ Finishing Lines: Jaguar wins Empire Trophy, Silverstone May 1990. (See below). .

Finishing Lines - Jaguar wins Empire Trophy May 1990

Although history is more interested in Jaguar's seventh and final victory of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1990, the TWR-run team won another prestigious race that season, Silverstone's Empire Trophy. But due the stature of the French classic, the importance of its British win has been largely overlooked.

The Race

Driving a turbocharged 3.5 litre V6 Jaguar XJR-11, Martin Brundle and his French teammate, Alain Ferté qualified second behind a Sauber-Mercedes of Jean-Louis Schlesser and Mauro Baldi. The second Jaguar XJR-11 (driven by Jan Lammers and Andy Wallace) was third. Schlesser was immediately fast, breaking Silverstone's lap record five times in the first half hour. Knowing their 3.5-litre Jaguar would not be able to compete with the Silver Arrow, Brundle and Ferté instead coasted to try and conserve fuel. But luck was on their side again when the Sauber-Mercedes suffered from a rare engine failure on lap 40 caused by camshaft drive breakage. With Ferté at the wheel of the Jaguar, the Frenchman started to increase his lead over the tailing Nissans of Gianfranco Brancatelli

and Kenny Acheson. But with both Japanese cars retiring close to the finish, the 3.5 litre Jaguar took its maiden victory with ease.

It also allowed the second XJR-11 (which had suffered throughout the race from heavy fuel economy plus too much oversteer) to finish a fine second, albeit a lap down on its sister car.

Due to new regulations for the 1991 season, its Ross Brawn designed replacement, the XJR-14, had a Cosworth HB V8 instead. Fast and reliable, it would take both the 1991 WSCC driver's and manufacturer's championships, further reducing the XJR-11 and its sole victory as a minor footnote in Jaguar's long motorsport history. .

1. The weather forecast for the XJ Register “Cinema In The North” event does not look favourable, but should not detract from the enjoyment at the weekend.

2. Log books are due to be renewed –full details of when and where can be found on TidyHQ under “Log Book Renewal – Various Locations”.

3. Tickets are now on sale for the Annual Presentation Dinner. Tables

4. A co-ordinator is needed for SA Jag Day in October to head up a small committee. Most of the work has already been put in place by Phil Prior.

5. The Club library is soon to be moved to the Club’s storage facility, after which time orders can be given to Tom Brindle who will retrieve the item and deliver it to the next general meeting.

6. The June Executive meeting is being held at the Marryatville Hotel to determine if it will be suitable for future general meetings as The Junction has been sold and is being redeveloped after the end of 2026.

7. The November general meeting has been brought forward by one week to the 28th October due to a clash with the Melbourne Cup and will be held at the Marryatville Hotel as a tryout for future meetings.

Register Business:

1. The recent survey has identified several members who are willing to become first aiders for the Club. Peter Clarke is co-ordinating this.

2. The survey also indicated that members would like a more technical meeting a few times a year. This is now being considered.

3. Articles for the Classic Marque are welcomed.

Car Talk:

◊ David Taddeo: 1970 420G, took it to the Birdwood picnic event. A lovely drive in the autumn weather.

◊ Bob Charman: The S-type and XJ Series 3 have both been resprayed –very happy with the result. The 420G will go to the same guy for a small patch of rust on one door.

◊ Daphne Charman: XF going well, just needs Bob to clean it before the weekend’s event.

◊ Hugh Guthrie: Took the XK8 for a run (his wife was hoping to do something that didn’t involve a winery!) and the car is going well.

◊ Peter Clarke: 1962 Mk2 and 1972 E-type which has been serviced and had new tyres. Took the E-type on the Finniss run last week (it’s first

time out in teeming rain) then spent a whole day cleaning it in readiness for the event this weekend, only to discover the forecast is rain.

◊ Ray Smithers: All going well.

◊ Tom Brindle: 1994 XJ40 – has a new spoiler to replace the damaged one but hasn’t had time to have it installed. Peter Buck offered to help him fit it.

◊ Martin Parry: 1989 XJ40, has owned it for 20 years and done most of the work on it himself. Has not been able to cure the rapid pulse of the indicator as yet but it generally runs well.

◊ Peter Holland: Nothing to report.

◊ Gary Lewis: Very happy with his 1997 XK8. Hasn’t had the plastic tensioners changed yet.

◊ Ron Palmer: 2014 XF 3-litre supercharged, 95,400kms. Did 2000+ kms over 8 days on the Great Ocean Road with his grandson, 7.1km/100, the car ran beautifully.

◊ John Castle: 2003 2.5 litre S-type, all okay.

◊ Jim Komaromi: 2007 S-type, still waiting for parts to fix the bodywork on the passenger side after a hit and run in a car park. Members suggested he try Lonsdale wreckers.

◊ Michael Pringle: Nothing to report.

◊ Jo Orford: Nothing to report.

◊ Margaret Thomas: XJ on consignment for sale in Totness at the Classic Motor Studio.

◊ David Brewer: 2010 5-litre XK, all serviced and ready for this weekend’s event. Geoff Mockford found and fixed a broken sensor in the front suspension.

◊ Peter Buck: X308 going well. Had the windows tinted – should have done that ages ago!

Any Other Business: There was no other business.

Next Meeting Date: Thursday 24th July at The Kensi, 6:00pm for a meal, 7:30pm for the meeting.

Meeting closed at 8:21pm
