JAGUAR HERITAGE NEWS – JULY 2014 REPORT
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and there are plenty of them this month for
you to enjoy as it has been another action packed month! Read and view on for more…..
A Festival to Remember:
Just after last month’s newsletter
went to press, the team headed off to
Goodwood for the 2014 Festival of
Speed which took place over the
final weekend in June – bigger and
more spectacular than ever with over
200,000 visitors! Despite the rest of
the country being battered by storms,
the
Goodwood
micro-climate
conspired once again to provide
three days of almost perfect weather.
This was just as well given the lineup of historic and valuable race cars
that Jaguar Heritage took along for
the event, which included the 1954
D-type prototype, 1956 long nose Dtype, 1974 Group 44 E-type V12,
1983 TWR XJS and the 1988 Le
Mans winning XJR-9!
Mercedes was the featured marque for this year’s sculpture
which celebrated the company’s 120 years in motorsport.
Over the course of the three days, a total of 15 lucky guest drivers had the opportunity to
take one of the cars up the famous Goodwood hill – including three racing drivers and a
number of key automotive journalists. Jaguar Land Rover was also there in strength with a
couple of large display stands and three cars that took part in the supercar runs each day –
an F-TYPE R Coupé, the new XFR-S Sportbrake and a prototype Range Rover Sport SVR,
the first Range Rover model to be produced by the new JLR Special Vehicle Operations
division. The exciting new F-TYPE Project 7 that had made its media debut a few days
earlier was on display to the public for the first time on the Jaguar stand.

Amongst the drivers for the heritage cars
was Andy Wallace, re-united once again
with the mighty XJR-9 that he co-drove to
victory at Le Mans in 1988 together with
Jan Lammers and Johnny Dumfries; from
the more recent era, Bruno Senna was reunited with the 1956 long nose D-type that
he recently drove on the Mille Miglia
together with Martin Brundle. Finally, up
and coming F3 racing driver, Sean
Walkinshaw was given a chance to drive
his father’s ETCC winning TWR XJS (see
separate feature below).
Automotive journalists who were put through their paces on the hill included Glen
Waddington and David Lillywhite of Octane Magazine, Henry Catchpole from EVO, Steve
Fowler, editor-in-chief of Auto Express and Paul Walton, editor of Jaguar World Monthly.
Watch out for news reports or features in future issues of all these magazines. Paul had
been lined up to drive the 1954 D-type prototype on the Saturday afternoon run, but a series
of accidents in the supercar run cause some of the later batches to be cancelled – much to
Paul’s frustration. However, with some re-shuffling, he was fitted into the line-up for the
Sunday morning run and arrived once again raring to go, despite having had to drive back
home to the Midlands in between!

for his Sunday morning run in the D-type prototype
The five Jaguar Heritage cars were supported by a team of eight which included technicians
Richard Mason and Dave Withers, supported by volunteers Christian Sharland, Dave
Palmer, Gary Jones, Geoff Smith and Robert Broderick with Jonathan Partridge acting as
team co-ordinator.
Walkinshaw son drives TWR XJS at Goodwood:
After narrowly missing out in the 1983 season, the TWR Jaguar Racing Team swept all
before them in the 1984 European Touring Car Championship with seven victories. This led
to Jaguar and driver Tom Walkinshaw being crowned ETCC champions.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this famous victory, Jaguar Heritage invited Sean
Walkinshaw, Tom's youngest son, to come and drive his late father's championship winning
TWR XJS at this year's Goodwood
Festival of Speed. Although only 20
years old, Sean is already in his
second season of racing in the
Euroformula Open F3 championship,
currently driving a Dallara F312. Sean
was lined up for two drives up the
famous Goodwood hill on the Sunday
of the Festival weekend (June 29).
Although admitting to some nerves as
it was his first ever visit to Goodwood
and first outing in a 'tin-top' racing car,
Sean quickly settled into the mighty
V12 XJS, still dressed in its original
TWR livery, and enjoyed his two runs
up the hill in front of the packed
Sean Walkinshaw and mother Martine pose by the
grandstands.

Sean was accompanied by his mother Martine who was given the opportunity to have a ride
back down the hill squeezed into the passenger side of the XJS alongside Sean - an
emotional experience for both of them. Based on his prowess in the TWR XJS, Sean was
also invited to drive the 1974 ex Bob
Tullius Group 44 V12 E-type which was
part of Jaguar Heritage's five car line-up at
the Festival - an opportunity he quickly
accepted!
In addition to competing in the Euroformula
Open, Sean is also following in his father's
footsteps by running his own racing team Sean Walkinshaw Racing - which is
currently running three cars in the brand
new BRDC Formula 4 Championship. For

Other Recent Events:
Hot on the heels of Goodwood, the Heritage team set off to support events in three different
countries the following weekend!
Silvretta Rally – July 3-6:
Now in its 17th year, this annual rally is one of the most popular classic
car events in Europe and attracts a large entry list from which 160 lucky
participants are selected. Set in the Montafon and Vorarlberg regions of
western Austria, the panoramic roads provide the drivers with a
challenging competition that is not about top speed, but about maximum precision.
The field this year included 11 pre-war
cars, the oldest being a 1928 Bentley 4½
litre open tourer, with the remaining 150
post war cars split into 5 different classes
ranging from the 50s to the 90s. Jaguar
Deutschland had entered three cars,
Jaguar Heritage’s 1953 XK120 OTS and
1958 XK150 DHC as well as their own
1974 Series 3 E-type V12. The two XKs
were both in class 3 with the E-type in
class 5.
The weather stayed fine and the cars
made an incredible spectacle over the
three days of rally competition as they
traversed Alpine passes and the treelined route through the Bregenz Forest.
The highest placed Jaguar entry at the
conclusion was the 1953 XK120, piloted
by German actor Jürgen Vogel and
lifestyle journalist Jan Broer, which
came in 22nd place overall, but 8th in its
class with just 1004 penalty points – a
great result for this pair who are both
seasoned rally drivers.

Classic Le Mans – July 4-6:
The same weekend saw the JH team heading back to France once
again with the 1954 short nose D-type prototype on board. This was
to support the dynamic launch of the new F-TYPE Project 7 sports car
which had been revealed at Goodwood 10 days earlier. The Jaguar PR team had
assembled a very select group of automotive media who were given the opportunity to ride
in Project 7 for a number of parade laps that were interspersed with the racing.
The parades naturally included the short nose D-type (inspiration for the Project 7 design)
which was piloted by Jaguar Heritage technician Richard Mason, as well as a number of the
latest F-TYPE R coupé models. Amongst the lucky journalists were Hilton Holloway from
Autocar and Mark Dixon from Octane who got his lap at 2:30am on the Saturday! You can
read what they thought by clicking here (Autocar) and here (Octane).
Aside from the Project 7 activities, Jaguars
featured prominently in the races with the best
results
being
the
victory
by
the
Finburgh/Newall C-type in Grid 2 for cars from
1949 to 1956 and an equally fine win for Gary
Pearson’s D-type in Grid 3 (cars from 1957 –
1961), which was co-driven by automotive
journalist Chris Harris – pictured left.
For a very entertaining report on Chris’ drive,
which took place in wet conditions, check out
his article on the PistonHeads website here.
Irish Classic and Vintage Motor Show – July 6:
Maintaining something of an annual tradition, Jaguar Heritage volunteers Roger Atkinson
and Stuart McEvoy once again made the trip over to the Emerald Isle for a long weekend,
the prime purpose of which was to support the Irish Classic and Vintage Motor Show which
is held in the grounds of Terenure College in Dublin. This is Ireland’s largest classic car
4
show with over 1000 historic vehicles taking part and was raising funds this year for The
National Maternity Hospital Foundation and The Migraine Association of Ireland.
The vehicle that they took with them was Jaguar Heritage’s recently restored 1933 SS1
Tourer, which is finished in an attractive two-tone combination of silver and blue. Prior to the
main show on the Sunday, the SS1 was displayed in the showroom of nearby Jaguar dealer
Spirit Motors where it attracted a lot of attention. The invitation to take part in the Terenure
show comes from the Irish Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and the SS1 joined a number of other
Jaguars in the IJEC display once it arrived at the college park. It is anticipated that a full
report will appear on the club website http://www.jecireland.org/ in due course.
Other activities and Minor Events:
While many members of the team were
busy supporting the Goodwood Festival of
Speed, an event took place closer to
home organised by the local branch of the
Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club.
This was
Jaguar Super Saturday, held on June
28th which brought together a fine display
of sixty five SS and Jaguar models
covering an 85 year timespan.
To fill a gap in the timeline, Jaguar
Heritage volunteer Dave Rooney brought
along the 1938 SS100 2½ litre from the
collection which took its chronological
place amongst the older cars lined up
outside the Coventry Transport Museum
entrance in Millennium Square. This is
the second year the event has been held
and it raised over £800 for the Air
Ambulance charity.
Also close to its Coventry roots, Jaguar Heritage has been supporting a local art gallery in
Leamington Spa – Gallery 150. Now based in Regent Court, a precinct behind the former
Regent Hotel on the Parade, Gallery 150 was originally set up in 2010 as a showcase for
Leamington Studio Artists, a charitable trust that seeks to promote the Visual Arts in
Leamington Spa and the surrounding area. Amongst the LSA’s board of Trustees are
former Jaguar Chief Engineer, Tony Cartwright and also James Callaghan - who those with
long memories may remember as part of the in house Jaguar photographic department in
the 1980’s! Jim went on to a successful career as a freelance photographer after leaving
Jaguar – for more information and to see examples of his work, click here.

Earlier in the year, Tony Cartwright contacted Jaguar Heritage concerning a
special summer themed exhibition they were planning called ‘Driven!’ which
is running from July 15 to August 3 at Gallery 150. Celebrating the artistry
and passion involved in the conception, creation and depiction of the car, the
exhibition has brought
together a fascinating
and diverse collection of
automotive
related
artworks – including several pieces by
Jaguar designers Julian Thomson and
Hugo Nightingale – with most of them
on sale. To support the display, Jaguar
Heritage agreed to lend some pictures
from its extensive archive which
included two paintings by famous
automotive artist Michael Turner and
also a painting by Stuart Spencer
recently gifted to the Trust by Gilbert
Michael Turner’s 1988 painting ‘Silk Cut Jaguar 2’
Adams, son of Ronnie Adams who was
a very successful works driver for Jaguar in the 1950s. These were complemented by a
scale model Jaguar Formula 1 car that has
taken pride of place in the gallery entrance.
As an additional promotional activity over the
middle weekend of the exhibition, two cars
from the Jaguar Heritage collection – a 1953
XK120 and 1963 S1 E-type coupé were lined
up alongside one of the latest F-TYPE coupé
models in the precinct outside the gallery.
These attracted a lot of attention and
encouraged passers-by to take a closer look
at the wonderful range of artworks on
display.
Slightly further afield, seven members of the team headed up to Halewood on Merseyside
to support a special event on July 17 organised by the Land Rover Experience team for a
delegation of managers from tyre supplier Pirelli. The event began with a business
conference at the LRE centre, but in the afternoon the sixty delegates divided into a number
of groups and had the opportunity to take part in four activities – a factory tour, an on-road
and off-road Land Rover driving experience and a Jaguar Heritage drive experience.
Six cars from the collection had
been brought along to cater for the
numbers and the Pirelli managers
clearly enjoyed the experience of
being chauffeured in cars ranging
from 60 to 18 years old – roughly
the same age range as the
delegates! The circular route from
the plant took in the attractive
village of Hale and everyone was
given the chance to ride in two
different cars although with the
perfect weather, competition to
ride in the three open top cars was
strong!

40,000th Heritage Certificate Issued
One of the most popular services offered by Jaguar Heritage is the issuing of Heritage
Certificates for any Jaguar model that is more than ten years old. Since 1931 when Jaguar
began making the first SS1 cars and until the 1980s, every car produced was individually
recorded with a hand-written entry in large ledgers. When this system was eventually
abandoned in the computer age, these original ledgers were turned over to the Archive of
the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
Using these invaluable original records, Jaguar Heritage offers owners of classic Jaguar and
Daimler cars a Production Record Trace service. Owners can apply for a Heritage Certificate
for their cars either online or by sending in a form. The Certificate gives all the relevant
information on the car taken from the original records. It confirms the original numbers and
colour scheme, gives the dates of build and despatch, as well as the original destination of
the car. Where recorded, the name of the first owner and the original registration mark are
also included on the Certificate - and all for just £45!
With values of classic Jaguars continuing to rise, a Heritage Certificate that helps to confirm
the provenance of the car is increasingly regarded as a 'must have' item by anyone looking
to buy or sell. This is reflected in the continuing strong demand - Jaguar Heritage issued
nearly 2000 certificates in 2013.
In June of this year a significant milestone
was reached, with the 40,000th Heritage
Certificate being issued. By something of a
coincidence, the lucky recipient was well
known automotive writer, TV presenter and
classic car pundit Quentin Wilson! Having
recently acquired a 1964 Daimler SP250,
Quentin had applied for a certificate and
was delighted to discover that it was going
to bear the number 40,000. A small
presentation ceremony was arranged on
June 26 at the Heritage Motor Centre,
where Jaguar Heritage's Archive team is
now based, and Quentin was duly
presented with his certificate by Anders Clausager.
On receipt of his certificate, Quentin said “Heritage Certificates bring an invaluable starting
point for classic owners researching the history and originality of their cars. The information
available is accurate and fascinating. I'm honoured to have got the 40,000th”.
End of the Line – the Jaguar XK:
As mentioned in prior newsletters, a
sad but historic milestone was
reached on July 24 with the
production of the very final XK of the
current X150 all-aluminium series
introduced in 2006.
A special
celebration event was organised at
the Castle Bromwich plant where the
last two XKs to come off the
production
line
were
lined-up
alongside the very first X150 XK, a
2006 coupé that is already part of the
Jaguar Heritage collection.
7
The penultimate XK was a Polaris White naturally aspirated coupé that will be the last
customer car – it was handed over by Castle Bromwich Operations Director Nicolas Guibert
to Roger Carroll, Dealer Principal of Rybrook Jaguar in Chester who was receiving the car
on behalf of his customer. The final car
was an Italian Racing Red XKR coupé
which was presented by Nicolas to Mike
Beasley, Jaguar’s former Managing
Director and now Vice Chairman of the
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. In line
with tradition, the car is being gifted by
JLR to the Trust and will form part of the
collection; a special registration number
has already been allocated for this –
JH14 XKR.
As well as the end-of-line celebrations a special display
had been mounted in the showroom at the end of R
Block in the centre of the factory to give the wider Castle
Bromwich workforce the chance to learn about the long
history of the XK and contribute their own personal
memories of this model in a special commemorative
book.
Story
boards featuring
archive images
of the XK from
the original launch of the XK120 at Earls Court in
1948 through to the present day complemented the
display of Jaguar Heritage’s 1953 XK120, OOF 748,
alongside the latest F-TYPE Project 7 symbolising
Jaguar’s future sports car direction.
The decision to cease production of the XK is part of Jaguar’s wider strategic vision and
brings to an end a production run of 56,798 XKs made since 2006. The XK was the first new
Jaguar production model to be entirely styled under the direction of Ian Callum and was
previewed in the guise of the ALC (Advanced Lightweight Coupe) which made its debut at
the Detroit Motor Show in January 2005. The production XK was unveiled at the Frankfurt
Motor Show in September of that year and went on sale in the UK and export markets in the
spring of 2006; it has been the company’s sporting GT flagship vehicle ever since.
Given the amount of other news this month, the article comparing and contrasting the
original XK120 with the final generation XK will be held over to next month’s newsletter.

Sir Nicholas Scheele – 1944 – 2014:
It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden
death of former Jaguar CEO Sir Nicholas Scheele on July
18 at the age of 70.
Nick Scheele had joined Ford Motor Company as a
graduate trainee in 1966 and worked his way up through the
ranks of the Purchasing function eventually being posted to
Ford’s world headquarters in Detroit in 1978. He continued
to progress through the senior management levels and
made his mark as President of Ford of Mexico between
1988 and 1991 before being given the opportunity to return
to the UK in 1992 and take charge at Jaguar – which had
been acquired by Ford in 1989.
Nick joined the Jaguar business at a challenging time with a narrow model range and
continuing quality problems contributing to substantial financial losses. But he was
determined to make Jaguar the “great British success” it had been in an earlier era, and to
prove wrong the pundits who had said that Ford
should never have bought such a troubled and
seemingly outdated marque. Nick’s initial priority
was an updating of the core XJ saloon range,
beginning with the X300 in 1994 and then the V8
X308 version in 1998. The sports car range was
also given a new lease of life with the XK8
replacing the ageing XJS in 1996, but his crowning
achievement was the expansion of the Jaguar lineup with the addition of the mid-sized S-TYPE
saloon in 1998 – taking Jaguar back into a market
segment it had abandoned when the Mark 2 (240
model) ceased production thirty years earlier. He
was also instrumental in the conversion of the Ford
Escort factory at Halewood, near Liverpool, to build
the compact Jaguar X-TYPE, which was launched
in 2001 - two years after Nick left Jaguar.

royal visit to Browns Lane in 1994
By the end of his tenure in 1999, the image of
Jaguar as an icon of design excellence was on the way to recovery. Sales had doubled,
reliability and productivity greatly improved, and the financial performance was much
improved – although profits still remained elusive. Nick returned to Ford initially as President
of Ford of Europe but later succeeding Jacques Nasser as President and COO of Ford
Motor Company in 2005. He was appointed KCMG in
2001.
‘Sir Nick’ is fondly remembered by all at Jaguar as an
inspirational leader, friendly and approachable and
with an amazing ability to remember people’s names!
He put his oratorical and PR skills to good use in
many areas – whether it be negotiating with the Trade
Unions, lobbying politicians or launching new
products to dealers and media. His swansong at
Jaguar was the Global Dealer Conference held in
Dubai in January 1999 where he fronted the launch of
the new S-TYPE at a spectacular event held in the
middle of the desert!

Happy days – Nick with Mike Dale and
Roger Putnam at Dubai in 1999!
Our deepest sympathies go to his wife of 47 years, Ros, and their three children.
Funeral and Memorial Arrangements:
The following announcement appeared in the Times and Telegraph newspapers last week:
“SCHEELE - Sir Nicholas Vernon K.C.M.G, died suddenly on 18th July 2014, aged 70 years
at home. Devoted husband of Ros for nearly 47 years; loving father of Paul, Hannah and
Jim; and adored grandpa. He will be much missed by all of his widespread family and by his
many friends. Private funeral, no flowers please. Memorial services will be held in both the
U.K. and U.S.A, details will be announced later. Donations, if desired, to B.E.N. and
N.S.P.C.C. may be sent to Hemming and Peace Funeral Services, 1a Brewery Street,
Stratford upon Avon, CV37 0BQ. Tel 01789 205400.”
STOP PRESS – JLR Acquires James Hull’s Car Collection:
Jaguar Land Rover announced on July 25 that it had purchased the largest-known privately
owned collection of British classic cars in the world securing this important collection for the
nation. The collection assembled over many years by British enthusiast James Hull,
includes 543 mostly British classic cars and features many significant Jaguar models
including XKSS, C, D and E-types. The acquisition underscores Jaguar Land Rover's
increased support and focus on heritage. The cars in the collection will be actively used to
support brand and experiential marketing to develop the brands and business in existing and
emerging markets.
The collection which has been painstakingly assembled and restored by James Hull, British
car enthusiast, entrepreneur and philanthropist, has at its core over 130 Jaguars. These
include early Swallow Sidecars and Swallow coachbuilt Austin Sevens, plus a full and
diverse range of pre-war SS models, 7 XK 120s - including a rare alloy-bodied example, Cand D-types, an XKSS, 8 E-types, 30 classic Jaguar 'Mark' model saloons plus 19 XJS
models and over 20 XJ saloons with interesting and famous previous owners. The majority
10
of these cars are in truly outstanding condition, with many having fascinating histories behind
them. The collection also features many other iconic and famous British cars and models.
This acquisition is part of an increased commitment by Jaguar Land Rover to protect and
nurture the rich heritage possessed by both brands. It follows the recent creation of Special
Operations, which has been established
to develop and oversee heritage and the
creation of special vehicles, such as the
recently announced Jaguar F-TYPE
Project 7.
There is a seven page feature on this
amazing collection in the August edition
of Jaguar Enthusiast which has pictures
of the majority of the SS, Swallow and
Jaguar cars. The price JLR paid for the
collection has not been disclosed. For
further information, visit the Jaguar Media
centre by clicking here.
Forthcoming Events:
Just a reminder that the major events over the next few weeks that will see cars from the
collection out and about are:
The Old Timer Grand Prix which will be taking place at
the Nürburgring in Germany from August 8-10. Three
cars from the Jaguar Heritage collection with a strong
racing pedigree will be displayed on the Jaguar stand – the 1953 C-type, 1954 D-type
prototype and 1956 long nose D-type – alongside the new F-TYPE Project 7. A VIP media
ride & drive event is also being supported on the Friday.
The Jaguar Drivers Club National Day and lnternational Weekend is
taking place once again in the grounds of Horwood House near Milton
Keynes from August 9-10; Jaguar Heritage will be joining Jaguar Heritage
Parts with a combined stand that will include hospitality and merchandise
units. Five cars from the collection will also be on display including a couple
that don’t make many public appearances – the 1994 XJ40 coupé and 1998 XK180 concepts.
The Coventry Festival of Motoring on August 23-24. Jaguar Heritage will
once again play a significant role in this event with several cars taking part in
the vehicle run on the Sunday morning and a vehicle display and hospitality
unit adjacent to the main arena which will be shared with the Coventry
Transport Museum. For further details click here.
Last month’s teaser:
No-one responded to last month’s mystery
car teaser which is either down to apathy or
perhaps it was too difficult!
There was a clue in the wording used
regarding the “fishy looking steering wheel”
because this car is in fact the Bertone
designed Jaguar Pirana from 1967.
11
The initial concept for the Pirana was conceived by The Daily Telegraph which
commissioned Marcello Gandini at Bertone to redesign the Jaguar E-Type into an "ideal car"
with direct help from Jaguar and its partners. Starting with an E-type 4.2 litre 2+2, Bertone
crafted a new body more in line with the Italian supercars of the period – there are obvious
design cues in common with the Alfa Romeo Montreal prototype and the Lamborghini
Espada. The Pirana made its debut at the 1967 London Motor Show at Earl's Court on the
stand of Carrozzeria Bertone S.A.S. and went on to be shown at the Turin and New York
motor shows. At the request of John Anstey from the The Daily Telegraph, the Pirana was
delivered as a fully-functioning car that retained the entire E-Type running gear. Bob Berry
from
Jaguar
PR
fully
supported the project and
opened up the door to
Jaguar's suppliers.
Sold by The Daily Telegraph
for $16,000 to recoup some of
its investment, the Pirana's
history from 1968 to 2010 is
sketchy. It seems it was
owned by a British national
who had a second home in
Palm Springs. Apparently
around 1980, the car was
painted a shade of British
Racing Green, a colour not well-suited to its angular lines. In Autumn 2010, the Pirana
surfaced in an advertisement for sale on eBay with a starting price of $150,000 but didn't
sell. Later, through a brokered deal, it was bought for $350,000 by Ed Superfon, co-founder
of the VIP Toy Store in Los Angeles, who still owns it. Knowing the Pirana's provenance,
Superfon had the BRG paint stripped and replaced in a shade of silver metallic that is very
close to the original colour used for the 1967 Earls Court debut. He has also refurbished the
trim and mechanics. The Pirana was displayed publicly at the 2012 Concorso Italiano, the
first time in almost 45 years.
…and finally, a Day at the Races:
Who says it’s all work and no play? Taking a rare break from the daily routine of processing
orders and invoices, handling shop queries and generally keeping the Jaguar Heritage
business in order, the ladies in the office decided to treat themselves to a day at the Warwick
Racecourse on July 11. Apart from giving them an excuse to dress in their finest, the ladies
were also able to demonstrate
their knowledge of the turf by
placing bets on each race –
although sadly there were no
winnings large enough to fund
retirement! Appropriate
transport was provided by the
1992 DS420 Daimler
Limousine from the collection
which was the former
transport of the Queen Mother
– thanks to volunteer Graham
Stevens for his chauffeuring
duties. A good day was had
The JH ladies day out – Julia Simpson, Maggy Haynes, Jill Bond and
by all!
