The annual ‘Supercharged Saturday’ event took place under supercharged blue skies attracting almost 600 Jaguars to the British Motor Museum. Over 350 supercharged models were arranged in model groups and supplemented by at least 200 naturally aspirated Jaguars, so even the view from the ‘cheap seats’ wasn’t half bad!
SNG Barratt sponsored the event which included a Live Arena where a variety of vehicles were displayed and their owners interviewed by experts Martin Joyce and Andy Stodart, both former Jaguar Project Engineers involved with the development of supercharging Jaguar cars. In the arena there was everything from standard XFRs and F-Types to the earliest XJRs, some highly modified. The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust kindly provided their unique supercharged X-Type estate for a close look under the bonnet and there was even an XJ Coupé fitted with an XJR6 engine by our sponsors Tom Lenthall Jaguar.
