Club Torque Hello all and welcome back to Classic Marque, I’m very excited to say that the longawaited first-drive of the I-PACE has been published! It can be found on pages 16-20. Now, I’m the first to admit that I have a little bit of an environmental streak... after all, my professional qualifications are in the field of environmental science! With that said, I really do think that Jaguar has successfully produced a car for the future in the I-PACE. In an age of environmental sensitivity and consciousness, shouldn’t we all consider the impacts our motoring habits have on the wider environment?

Don’t get me wrong - I love the roar of an I/C engine as much as the next person, but if we can still get

Editor’s Column

enjoyment from driving an environmentally friendly EV, that’s got to be a win-win doesn’t it?

A big thank you to Solitaire and Nato Rigano for allowing us the earliest press access to a JLR Australia I-PACE for this feature. A special thanks should also be given to my photographer and good friend Mark Cawdron-White for capturing the fantastic images used in this story.

Aside from the I-PACE, we’ve got some big news about Jaguar’s g l o ba l o pe ra t io ns .

M o re information on the departure of designer Ian Callum can be found on page 7. There’s a new F-Type on the way too - look on page 5 for the first images!

It looks like the XJ Register have been out and about enjoying themselves too, with a report from “Conductor” Bob Charman on their railroad adventures on pages 22 & 23.

Finally, if you’re in the market for an X-Type, we’ve got you covered! No less than three are currently for sale in our classified list. Remember, if you’re looking to sell, advertising in Classic Marque is free for club members.

I hope you enjoy this edition of Classic Marque!

Happy motoring,

Dane

Big updates on the way for 2020 F-TYPE German Turbo V8, new cabin and interior, facelift John Mahoney Motroing.com.au A heavily updated Jaguar F-TYPE has been caught hot-lapping the Nürburgring ahead of its global launch in early 2020.

Despite only capturing a heavily disguised Jaguar F-TYPE coupe, a camouflaged roadster has also been spotted being tested too on the car-industry’s favourite proving ground, indicating both versions are set to live on following the facelift.

Our first look at the camo’d coupe can’t hide that the British carmaker is planning some big stylistic changes for the updated model that points towards a completely redesigned nose, reshaped bonnet and a pair of ultra-slim headlamps.

A larger, more aggressive grille is thought to complete the front-end changes, while at the back of the small Jag a pair of new tail-lights and a squarer rear profile completes the updates to the FTYPE that has remained largely unchanged since it was introduced back in 2013.

Inside, the F-TYPE is thought to have a completely overhauled interior that bags a new infotainment system and a full digital instrument panel while adopting a design more inline with the latest I-PACE and XE sedan.

Under the bonnet is where you’ll find the biggest differences as both the current car’s supercharged 3.0litre V6 and supercharged 5.0-litre V8 will be pensioned off. The V6 will be replaced by the car-maker’s

Above:

2020 facelift tipped to include new BMW V8 turbo, new external panels, and completely redesigned interior.

Ingenium 3.0-litre inline turbocharged six-cylinder that will pump out at least 294kW and 550Nm of torque.

The supercharged V8, meanwhile, will be ditched for BMW’s twinturbo 4.4-litre V8 that should produce at least 420kW but could muster up to 470kW and around 750Nm of torque – that’s around 47kW and 50Nm more than the current F-TYPE SVR. Helping boost efficiency, the new six-cylinder will come equipped with Jaguar Land Rover’s new 48volt mild hybrid tech that claws back energy under braking. The hybrid gubbins help the F-TYPE coast more readily up to highway speeds and ensures more performance as the additional THE BOTTOM LINE lithium-ion batteries power up an electric supercharger that eliminates turbo lag.

It’s thought the current 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, that currently produces 221kW and 300Nm of torque, will carry over

with only minor updates.

What’s not known is if the new inline-six will be adapted to work with the current F-TYPE’s six-speed manual or if the DIT cog-swapper will be dropped as part of the 2020 facelift.

As well as the new powertrains, it’s been widely reported that Jaguar is considering a pure-electric version of the F-TYPE that could harness the power of the twin electric motors that drive the IPACE – that version is now rumoured to have been pushed back to around 2023. What could arrive before then is a roomier 2+2 grand tourer that could even hide a pair of rear doors. If so, the nextgen elongated F-TYPE will finally fill the void left by the discontinued XK. That said, there’s been no stretched F-TYPE mules spotted out in the wild yet, so the F-TYPE four-door might still be some way off.

Ian Callum steps down as head of Jaguar design Jake Williams CarsGuide Ian Callum will step down from his role as design director of Jaguar after working with the company for 20 years.

Stepping down to “pursue other design projects”, Callum will be replaced by current creative design director Julian Thompson, though he will remain a consultant to the brand.

Callum is credited with turning Jaguar into the modern brand it is today, and has produced quite a product resume: the XK (2006), XF (2007) and XF Sportbrake, XJ(2009), C-X75 concept (2010), F-Type (2012), F-Pace (2015) and I-Pace (2018).

Callum began his career in 1979 by designing cars for Ford. After 11 years there, he left to head up TWR Design.

In 1999, he succeeded the late Geoff Lawson as Jaguar’s director of design, and also directed Aston Martin design for a short time - the two brands were then part of Ford’s Premier Automotive Group.

Above:

Callum has played a leading role in Jaguar designs for the past 20 years. His portfolio includes the XK, XF, XJ, F-Type, and Jaguar SUV models.

He had a hand in shaping the Aston Martin DB7 and DB9, as well as the Vanquish.

“I came into this role with a mission to take Jaguar design back to where it deserved to be. It has taken 20 years, but I believe I have achieved what I set out to do, ” Callum said.

“Given the strength of both our products and the design team I feel

that now is the right time to move on, both personally and professionally, and explore other design projects.

Designing Jaguar cars was a lifelong dream for me.”

Callum's successor, Julian Thompson, has been at Jaguar since 2000 and also worked at Ford. Thompson's CV also includes roles as head of design for Lotus and chief of exterior design at the Volkswagen Group.

Why the Jaguar XJ is the world’s best saloon car

Martin Buckley Classic and Sports Car It might be over 50 years old but, to me, the Jaguar XJ6 remains the perfect British saloon car. Perhaps even more so in the wake of the news that production is to be discontinued next month.

It’s also the perfect British compromise, a skilful blend of earlier, well-proven concepts and components, massaged and refined into a beautiful new shape.

This long-running benchmark of saloon-car refinement was a masterful fusion of tradition and modernity such that no subsequent Jaguar saloon – indeed, perhaps no other saloon car from any manufacturer – has ever recaptured its brilliance.

Lyons himself was tiring. He had no heir after the death of his son John and was already two years into an uncertain merger with BMC, to form BMHC. As a means of securing supplies of bodyshells for his new car from Pressed SteelFisher (which had become part of the BMC group in 1965), it was an alliance of necessity that can’t have sat well with a man who had been very much his own boss for 40 years.

Learning the chassis lessons of the S-type, 420 and MkX/420G, the XJ was conceived around widetrack, anti-dive, double-wishbone front suspension, with a quad-damper independent rear and a new kind of low-profile ER70VR15 tyre specially developed for it by Dunlop.

It was the first Jaguar saloon with rack-and-pinion steering and, with five different kinds of synthetic and natural rubber in the front subframe mountings alone, it represented a giant leap forward in the understanding of what caused road-excited noise inside a motor-car bodyshell, so much so that even 20 years later (when the last Series III XJs were being built) the opposition was struggling to match it.

Lots of resonance damping, carefully isolated engine mountings and a double-thickness bulkhead were part of the secret and the XJ always enjoyed a remarkable lack of wind noise, too, around that beautifully resolved, thin-pillared glasshouse.

It also represented an advance in detail refinements now that Jaguar, for the first time, took complaints

It could hardly have been otherwise, benefiting as it did from the taste and judgement of Sir William Lyons. As well as being that curious combination of hard-nosed tycoon and artist, Lyons had an equal talent for nurturing the best engineering brains in the industry; the likes of Bob Knight, Wally Hassan and, perhaps most important of all, Technical Director Bill Heynes.

Heynes’ original idea for the XJ project in the early ’60s was to create a four-door, four-seat E-type, a low-slung sports saloon that would take the fight to the Europeans in the ’70s and recapture the interest of an American market that still loved its XKEs but never quite took the MkX or S-type to its heart in the same way.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The XJ was, in fact, a long-overdue fillip to the Jaguar range when Lyons personally launched it in September 1968. The optimism and certainties of the 1950s and early ’60s were fading. The existing saloons were looking old, sales were tailing off (the MkX/420G was proving a particular disappointment) and it was no longer true to say that Jaguar could sell every car it built.

The Official Monthly Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia

about its slithery armchair seats, feeble heating and ventilation systems seriously.

The new body was virtually built around a sophisticated heater box feeding modern eyeball vents, while front passengers were supported in semi -bucket seats that were more E-type than MkX in shape. This was important in a saloon car that could now generate cornering forces more akin to the former than the latter.

Quickly settling down to a 25,000 output (about 650 a week, 56% for export), the XJ6 easily outsold the so-called ‘compacts’ (240/340/ S-type/420) and the bulbous 420G. By the end of 1970 it had replaced them completely, usefully simplifying a oncecomplex range and streamlining the production lines, and gained a new badge-engineered sister, the Daimler Sovereign.

Even so, the XJ remained in short supply for years, so much so that a black market of £1000 over list on delivery-mileage cars was soon established in the UK. Irate Swiss customers even felt moved to picket Lord Stokes, outside the British Leyland headquarters in Berkeley Square, over the length of the waiting lists.

Browns Lane couldn’t build them fast enough, to the extent that Jaguar published full-page ads in the motoring press thanking customers for their patience.

Press reports dripping with superlatives about the XJ’s poise and refinement only whetted buyers’ appetites further for a car widely considered to be the best saloon in the world at any price, never mind the mere £2365 Jaguar asked for an overdrive-equipped 4.2.

The XK straight-six, at 20 years old, was still a magnificent engine and drew almost nothing but praise for its smoothness and torque. But Lyons was not satisfied. Keen to unleash his V12 secret weapon, it was with some reluctance that he had agreed to launch the car in six-cylinder form only, with the

short-stroke 2.8 offered as a supplementary variant mainly for European markets, where engines over that swept volume were heavily taxed.

The 2.8, later infamous for burning holes in its pistons, was sweeter and freer-revving, but gave away a lot of urge to the burly 4.2. Since few wealthy European buyers cared about the extra tax on an already-expensive car, or the fact it got two or three extra miles per gallon, they tended to buy the 4.2 anyway.

The original plan had been to offer this short-block XK engine in 3-litre form as the six-cylinder alternative to the V12. The decision to fit the twinSU 4.2 was made late in proceedings, its additional height necessitating last-minute changes to the bonnet pressing.

Development of the flathead, single-overhead-camper-bank V12 was languishing in the midst of punishing new safety requirements that were taking up too much of the tiny Browns Lane development team’s time and attention.

The evidence of this could be seen in the fact that the XJ6 was the first Jaguar saloon without a bonnet ‘leaper’ to maim pedestrians and the first to have crash-friendly rocker switches rather than eyegouging toggles; the ignition switch moved to the steering column for similar reasons, so no more push-button starting.

When the XJ12 finally appeared in the summer of 1972, it almost seemed like overkill. Nobody really needed an even-more eerily silent, near 150mph, 11mpg four-door saloon powered by the world’s only mass-produced V12 engine, but Jaguar decided to build it anyway. After all, the XJ bodyshell had been designed to take the V12 from the beginning and it only weighed 60lb more for a power increase of 70bhp. The exquisite oneupmanship factor over the ‘mere’ V8s of Mercedes, Rolls-Royce and the Americans must have been

hard to resist.

Revisit any of the three XJ series today and you will be surprised by how genuinely low-slung they are, particularly in a motoring environment where everyone wants to sit sky-high in their SUVs. You slide down to assume a driving position that is close to perfect, the superb vision and the sense of isolation relaxing you immediately; it feels like coming home.

‘Our’ early, dark blue, low-bumper Series I looks and even smells of the ’60s inside, and there’s a strong appeal to its no-nonsense rocker-switch dash, its line-up of minor gauges and its cool, slim-rimmed steering wheel. The Series II dashboard, with its chunky push-buttons, stalk-controlled wipers and improved air-blending heating system, is more rational, but less pleasing.

Short- and longwheelbase SIIs were offered alongside each other until the LWB was standardised late in 1974, just before the introduction of the XJ 3.4 poverty model (to replace the 2.8) and Lucas injection on the V12 to curb its monstrous thirst.

Our SII representative is an XJC, the most exciting new model in the revised high-bumper/ narrow-grille Series II range of 1973. It was also a supposed personal favourite of Lyons, who had conceived this pillarless version of the XJ in the mid-’60s as a response to a trend towards two-door hardtops on the American market; his US dealers were even telling him they would struggle to sell a four-door XJ6.

Sadly, the coupé was a project that kept getting put to one side, not helped by the fact that pillarless side windows proved hard to seal against wind noise.

That was why the first XJCs didn’t reach customers until 1975, by which time the arrival of the XJ-S had made it somewhat redundant.

In fact, XJCs were only offered for two years and,

while it was widely touted as a surefire future classic (almost from the day production ended), it is only recently that the coupés have begun to be appreciated for their rarity. Just 9119 were built (fewer than 1000 of those being V12s) and they came, naturally, as Jaguars or Daimlers, this one being the latter.

Its cloth seats, common in the coupés, pandered to ’70s tastes, but the vinyl top was there to disguise the additional heft in the rear roof pillar. On the move, these early and middle-period ‘sixes’ drive fairly similarly, except that the manual SI really does feel like a close relative of an E-type, whereas the BorgWarner three-speed auto-equipped SII is more suavely ‘executive’; there is nothing much to do except point it in the right direction, enjoy the general mechanical hush, and the still-remarkable lack of rumble and bump/thump in the car’s ride.

SIIs had more pollution-control equipment even in UK-delivered form, although the apparently startling difference in power compared to the SI (170 versus 245bhp) is mainly due to the more realistic DIN rather than gross measurement.

Both will purr through traffic like mayoral limousines if required, but the manual has lots of low - and mid-range thrust, long legs and an effortless authority that belies its years, so much so that you would happily forgive the mismatch of its fairly heavy but smooth clutch and power steering that summons a strange combination of accuracy and almost American-style over-lightness. You soon get the hang of it, though, by not over-steering the car; rather, guide it gently with your fingertips.

While the manual is fun, an automatic transmission was what the XJ was all about from the beginning: they far outsold the three-pedal versions and the XJ12s – or XJ 5.3s as they were called from late 1975 – were only ever Borg-Warner Model 12 or GM400 autos.

Introduced in March ’79, the Series III cars were an unintended holding operation while the XJ40 was being developed. No doubt missing the input of Lyons (he retired in 1972), Jaguar turned to Pininfarina for styling tweaks that included a taller, more crisp roof and glass area, injection-moulded bumpers and flush-fitting doorhandles.

The Series II dash architecture largely remained – hardly the latest in ergonomics, but ‘traditional’. A variety of brittle plastic details are less welcome, the trip computer on this late Double-Six being particularly grating, but this is understandable when you consider the value for money the cars represented.

You still have to swap between the 11-gallon pannier tanks in the rear wings, using a switch on the dashboard, but the HE (High Efficiency) V12s, featuring Michael May’s swirl-action combustion chambers, made 20mpg a realistic possibility for the first time.

In Series III Double-Six Daimler form it is still the most silky car imaginable to drive. From the outside, the engine makes itself apparent more by the whirring of fans and drivebelts than any true mechanical sound. From within the cocoon-like cabin, cooled by deliciously efficient airconditioning, the V12 feels more like an electric motor than a reciprocating unit.

The car covers ground with an ethereal rush of energy that perfectly complements its superb chassis refinement; even by the early ’80s it was more than a match for its fresh-faced German rivals, which were still on the drawing boards in Munich and Stuttgart when the original XJ was five years into its production run.

The end for the Series III V12s finally came in 1992, five years after the last of the ‘sixes’. Those were too heavy and too expensive to build compared to new XJ40s, which were nimbler and supposedly better-quality vehicles. Reluctant as many were to point it out at the time, though, these were nothing like as pretty as their predecessors –

even if they were traditionally Jaguar in layout and feel.

Through the 1970s and ’80s the XJ became such a routine sight on British roads that we tended to forget how superlatively good they were – and still are.

They are truly great machines, even when you remove your rose-tinted spectacles and waft away the fog of nostalgia that tends to surround anything with a Jaguar badge on it.

In a funny way, these cars seem almost better now, at 50, than they did 20 years ago (when we first considered them truly ‘classic’), possessed of a lithe and compact curvaceousness that is in startling contrast to the obesity of 21st-century luxury saloons.

Like every Jaguar four-door before it, the 1968 XJ6 was fast and refined beyond its price-tag, yet offered a modern interpretation of saloon-car elegance that would have floored the opposition even if the engineering underneath had not been so accomplished.

It was a brilliant parting gift from Sir William Lyons to the company he created, the final car designed under his autocratic but wise leadership. It is widely acknowledged as his masterpiece in a career of superb cars.

It’s a warm afternoon when I arrive at Solitaire Jaguar, but it’s not the temperature that’s got me sweating. Oh no, it’s not even the staggeringly beautiful lines of the Corris Grey, JLR press-fleet I-PACE that sales representative Nato Rigano has prepared for me.

No, it’s the rather innocuous looking photographer from The Advertiser that’s really got me ruffled. “Big smile,” he says casually as the shutter of his camera clicks. Yes, The Officialeditor Monthly Magazine your friendly neighbourhood is going to be a bigof

star - a centrefold in The Advertiser nonetheless! The IPACE’s hotly anticipated arrival has caught the attention of the press, and they want yours truly’s opinion. Of course, I provided a lengthy first impression, but all that went to print was that I thought it looked pretty. This is of course very true, but the I-PACE’s beauty is more than skin deep.

My time with the Ian-Callum-designed I-PACE is

specification levels and a limited “First Edition” equipped with all the optional extras. Significantly, although equipment levels differ across the range, the IPACE is offered with the same 294kW AWD powertrain regardless of specification, unlike other electric competitors. Every I-PACE is equipped with the same 90kWh battery pack capable of up to 480km per charge This press car is the mid-range SE specification, priced at cycle and is covered by an 8 year/100,000km warranty around $140k including taxes.

PACE from 0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds.

THE BOTTOM LINE

There is only one word to describe the acceleration of an IPACE; violent. I’ve driven a good selection of fast cars before, but this is different - there is no build up, no thunderous engine noise, no surging press back into the drivers seat.

Power is instantaneous; depress the accelerator and there isn’t even time to brace yourself.

Charge rates are impressive too; up to 35km of range per

hour at a typical upgraded domestic socket, and up to 100km of range in just 15 minutes at dedicated DC public charge stations. It’s entirely feasible to drive from Adelaide to Melbourne, stopping in Keith for lunch and to recharge the car in under an hour. Even at your everyday common-orgarden kitchen socket, charging the vehicle overnight is more than sufficient to cover the average daily commute of 60km, Jaguar claims. The phenomenon of “range anxiety” that has plagued electric vehicles for so long is seemingly a thing of the past.

ACE

THE BOTTOM LINE It is evident that Jaguar have spent considerable effort in developing the handling characteristics of the I-PACE. The wheelbase may be only a few centimetres shorter than the XJ, but the I-PACE feels deceptively lighter than its 2,670kg bulk.

Dimensions are more comparable to those of the XE; indeed, the XE and I-PACE share more than just proportional resemblances. Around town, the default ride setting is firm but comfortable; optional air suspension allows drivers an infinite degree of control. The 18� wheel and tyre package on the SE spec is impressive in both aesthetic and ride quality,

with road noise barely noticeable - in some cases intrusively audible in EVs. The other-worldly silence of the I-PACE is only occasionally disturbed by the gentle whir of the electric motors, slightly more obvious if you put your boot into it. It’s actually a rather relaxing sound, but for those missing the sound of a supercharged V8, Jaguar can add the sound of an F-Type SVR (or any other vehicle for that matter) to the infotainment system. When you depress the pedal, the roar of the V8 19 can

The Official Monthly Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia

be played through the Meridan sound system. While this seems a bit naff, it is a neat little party trick.

Out on the open road, the vehicle rides well and forward visibility is good. The adjustable suspension settings are rather advanced and produce tangible differences. Opting for a sportier setting reveals the true dynamism of the chassis; a very low centre of gravity (thanks to the placement of the heavy battery pack) means the I-PACE has very limited body roll through the corners and handles more like an XE than an F-PACE. The seats are typically supportive, and in this press car, are a supple gained leather. The entrylevel spec comes standard with “Luxtec” a leatherette vinyl - but if I were paying $125k+, I’d be sure to add a couple of thousand on for the genuine product.

Heavily bolstered sports seats are an option across the range, but don’t seem at all necessary.

monitored through a configurable instrument display in front of the driver.

The I-PACE is equipped with the usual smattering of technology consistent across the Jaguar range these days, with a bevy of driver assistance programs. The most useful of these is arguably the simplest - the 360 degree parking camera. Given the particularly angular design, rear vision from the cabin is extremely restricted. Without the assistance of the 360 camera system standard across the range, virtually every reversing manoeuvre would require the assistance of a spotter, such is the restriction of rear vision.

The true “value add” technology can be found in the basic vehicle operation systems.

The regenerative braking system, for example; common across all hybrids & EVs, the I-PACE’s system is adjustable.

This means that the amount of regeneration resistance can be varied to suit city or highway driving - in fact, after a little getting used to, the I-PACE can virtually be driven with the throttle alone, with brakes only needing to be applied to bring the vehicle to a complete halt.

I-PACE

Cabin space is ample both front and rear, with acceptable rear headroom for those taller than six feet. The boot is cavernous due largely to the lack of a fuel tank - and can hold more cargo than an F-PACE SUV. The interior is an ergonomic masterpiece, clearly inspired by another well-known EV manufacturer. The majority of interior functions are controlled by two central touch screen displays; one for climate settings and the other to control the infotainment system. Although gorgeous to look act and interact with, functionality isn’t immediately intuitive; on more than one occasion I had to stop the car to adjust desired settings and avoid taking my eyes off the road. There is no gear stick - gear selection is done through buttons adjacent to the touch screen displays on the console. There are no analogue dials, either - operations are

The twin electric motors convert electricity to movement operating at 97% efficiency. “Active” cooling vanes deliver the optimum balance of cooling to the battery and without compromising aerodynamics.

Preconfigured drive modes can intelligently control the vehicle’s energy usage to optimise efficiency, adjust climate settings, change engine power, and monitor regeneration. The I-PACE even employs the use of a heat pump in heating of the cabin, harvesting heat

from battery and electrical components in the vehicle instead of through inefficient water-based systems.

What this vehicle is - what Jaguar has done - is offer us a window into the future of motoring. No, you can’t drive 1,000km to a single charge yet, and no, it isn’t as quite affordable as an XE or XF, but what the I-PACE is is incredible. In an age of environmental consciousness and responsibility, Jaguar has delivered a car for the future.

For a very unique breed of people - those who love driving, but also give a toss about polar bears - the I-PACE is probably the perfect car. It’s more affordable than its most immediate EV competitor. It’s better looking, too. It also handles better.

The fit and finish is completed to a higher standard, without panel gaps you could fit a limb through. But most importantly, it’s a Jag. For those not quite ready to wave the EV flag yet, I understand. But do yourself a favour. Pop into Solitaire one day and take an I-PACE around the block. Then come back and tell me you’re not ready for tomorrow yet.

All Aboard!

With Conductor Bob Charman

On Sunday the 2nd of June, members of the XJ, 420G, Mk10 Register organised a day trip on the Steam Ranger train from Mt Barker to Victor Harbor.

at 10.00am headed towards Victor. After several stops at Strathalbyn, Goolwa and Pt Elliott to pick up more passengers we arrived safely at Victor Harbor.

45 members gathered at the Station all eager to engage in a 8 hour journey in a train and carriages of a bygone era.

After a wonderful 3 hour lunch break at various establishments, we all hopped back on board ready for the return trip. Several members of our group said they had looked forward to an afternoon nap on the return trip, but this didn’t eventuate as the train journey is made so interesting by the carriage guards.

The engine drivers had been there from 6.00am heating up the boilers. These men and the entire voluntary team that make the organisation were so enthusiastic to show off the train and all that it offers.

The buffet car was fully stocked for the journey to ensure that no one went hungry.

THE BOTTOM LINE To sum up, it was a excellent day out with friends and family. It is a day trip that we will definitely do again and can thoroughly recommend to others.
