October was “away day” by the kind invitation of Jaguar Classic to visit their impressive Classic Works – free of charge! As a theme for this visit we chose the 25th anniversary of the X308 XJ, with a line of these 4-litre V8s forming the centrepiece display outside the main entrance to Classic Works.

A healthy range of all other Jaguar models provided a broad coverage of the marque and a treat for the eye of the enthusiast. JLR laid on two catering vans serving top-quality breakfast rolls and speedy service for those enjoying the outside display under sunny skies. It was a fantastic day!
