I am a long term Jaguar fan, now on my third <strong>E-Type</strong>. I never thought the XJS was a worthy successor to the E-Type and it has never been regarded as a classic in the same vein.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The XK8/XK was a bit closer to the idea but why did they build it as a 2+2 with no room behind the front seats? The only people that could sit in the back were legless dwarfs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So now Jaguar have a proper 2 seater sports car again, with a choice of engines. It is worth noting at this point that the 3.0 litre V6 has more power than my 4.2 litre SII E-Type and the 5.0 litre is about double the power.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is one other thing I am specifically interested in at the moment - I am involved in organising the <strong>Stratford Festival Of Motoring</strong> in Stratford upon Avon on Sunday 5th and Monday 6th May. We already have a <strong>D-Type Replica</strong> committed, an <strong>E-Type</strong> and I am trying to get either a genuine or replica <strong>C-Type</strong>. All I need now to make the full set is an <strong>F-Type</strong>. This would be a brilliant opportunity for Jaguar to display the F-Type (showing its evolution) to a large audience in excellent surroundings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><strong>Can anyone help?</strong></DIV>
