50 years of Jaguar forage harvesters
Anyone with a little grey hair, or in my case, very little hair, will remember the early 1970s, when they likely saw their first self-propelled forage harvester.
JAGUAR'S RETURN to the racetrack, with its Jaguar Heritage Racing, is a first since 1956.
Works-supported C- and D-types will race at Goodwood and the Nurburgring.
The first event Jaguar Heritage Racing will contest is the 2012 Mille Miglia retrospective in May, important to the company as it marks 60 years since Sir Stirling Moss and Norman Dewis (then Jaguar's chief development driver) took the start in the first
disc-brake equipped C-type car.
Later that year Moss gained the first win for a disc-braked car, a C-type at Reims.
In August the team will compete at the AVD Nurburgring Old-timer Grand Prix – the 'green hell' – one of the toughest tracks in the world, Jaguar says. Then it will race at the Goodwood Revival in September.
Historic motorsport 'revivalist' JD Classics will prepare the C and D-type Jaguars.
Along with that is Jaguar Heritage, a charitable trust and custodian of Jaguars including the unique XJ13 prototype.
Such cars
are not raced but are exhibited and demonstrated.
