As leading specialists in the sale and maintenance of Classic Jaguars - from XK's and E-Types to XJ saloons and XJS's - our knowledge and enthusiasm is deep and extends to most quality UK marques, both pre and post war, with first-hand experience spanning four decades. Our enthusiasm is evident from the minute you walk into our showrooms and we take as much pride in our selection and presentation of good quality stock as we do with our engineering abilities. Buying and owning a classic car of any sort is, for many, along-held dream, but with that dream there can be pitfalls. By consulting with Peter Hugo, who oversees our Classic Sales - and discussing maintenance costs and implications with our engineers - BEFORE you buy your car, subsequent ownership should be a more enjoyable one, secure in the knowledge that our classic team takes a personal interest in both the customer and the car. With our active involvement in Club Motor Sport - we race a Jaguar XK150 a Jaguar Mk7 saloon and an XJS - we have a wealth of experience in the tuning and modification of both the XK, AJ and V12 engines. Our ultra-rare 1957 Jaguar XKSS - the road-going Jaguar D Type - was rebuilt comprehensively in our workshops for the prestigous Mille Miglia, completing the gruelling 1,000 mile event without even so much as an adjustment to its multi-plate competition clutch. The Racing Green C-Type - the world's most accurate recreation of this charismatic Le Mans winning sports-racing car of the early 1950's - is a further example of our enthusiasm for and appreciation of perfection. Such perfection comes at a price, but "what price perfection?" As a complete contrast to our inherent appreciation for originality and purism, our Beacham Jaguars - the Mk2 and the E-Type - cater for a small, but steady, demand for an 'every-day usable' classic. Built to order in New Zealand, these cars are fully restored to the highest standards and upgraded with extras that can even include airbags and satellite navigation. New and pre-owned examples are often held as part of our classic stock. Our Classic engineering section - under the guidance of Chris Window - has huge experience in all Jaguars from the '50s to '80s and it knows the XK 6 cylinder and V12 engines inside out. From air conditioning to 4 wheel alignment, from race engines to perfectly balanced wire wheels, Racing Green Cars are able to resolve any problems related to your Classic Jaguar. In addition to full servicing and comprehensive overhauls, we also offer upgrades to rectify inherent design weaknesses. For your own peace of mind, if you have just purchased a car, we offer an Inspection & Assessment Survey, usually lasting about three hours, enabling us to provide you with a detailed report and a scheduled maintenance programme to suit your budget. High quality bodywork and paintwork is undertaken on site by our bodyshop team. Correct preparation, quality application of paint and careful refitting of panels ensure the best possible results to create a car that looks 'just right'. We are closely connected with the premier Jaguar clubs such as the XK Club, the E-Type Club, Jaguar Enthusiasts and Jaguar Driver's and enjoy an excellent relationship with them. These clubs organise a wide assortment of events from area meetings, to Continental Rallies and serious Motor Sport. There has never been more going on in the Classic Jaguar world to enable you to get maximum use from your pride and joy. By talking with enthusiasts we are able to gauge what is required to further improve your enjoyment of owning a classic Jaguar. So welcome, to our Classic Team. If you have any queries we are on hand to chat them through whether it be sales or maintenance. Better still: pay us a visit and just soak up the atmosphere!
