IN DETAIL
(Whitley, Coventry - 20 June 2014). Long-term
supporter of the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, Jaguar, will be
making some noise at next week's event from 26-29 June with an
exceptional line-up of its cars, both old and new.
Visitors to the Jaguar stand at the spectacular automotive show
will be delighted to see the first new product from Jaguar Land
Rover Special Operations - the new division of Jaguar Land Rover
responsible for a range of special product and service programmes
for Jaguar and Land Rover customers.
Chiming perfectly with Goodwood's 2014 Festival theme of
'Addicting to Winning', Jaguar will have an extensive selection of
its past, present and near-future models at the event, including
victorious examples of the racing D-type, XJS TWR and XJR-9
tackling the famous 1.16-mile hillclimb.
Two of the Jaguar Heritage Trust's significant D-types will be
in action as this legendary Jaguar marks its 60th anniversary. The
original 1954 D-type prototype will be demonstrated, as will the
later 1956 'Long Nose' model, to be driven by ex-Grand Prix racer
Bruno Senna. Bruno recently covered over 1,000 miles in this car at
the 2014 Mille Miglia, with co-driver and fellow Formula 1 star,
Martin Brundle.
Other Jaguar Heritage competition racers in action at Goodwood
will include the iconic 'Group 44' E-type, the Group-A XJS TWR and
the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9 LM, the latter being reunited with
one of its victorious team drivers; Andy Wallace.
Away from the competition cars, examples of Jaguar's new
production F-TYPE R Coupé and XFR-S Sportbrake will be
publically seen in action at the Festival, with both set for high
speed drives up the famous Goodwood Hill.
