Our Jaguar XKSS takes first in class!

23/10/2006

Co-Driven by our Chairman, Graham Love and our `rising star` - 22 y/o Phil Keen - our 1957 Jaguar XKSS finished 1st. in Class in an action-packed, 2 hour race, at Val de Vienne in France over the week-end of October 21/22.
Prepared for the event in our workshops, the car ran faultlessly.
Being the first of the fabled 16 XKSS`s, January 14th. 2007 sees this car celebrating it`s 50th. Birthday and on March 10th. it celebrates the 50th. anniversary of winning its first motor race (see illustraton) at Mansfield, Louisiana, at the hands of John Gordon-Bennet, Vice President of Jaguar USA. It is fitting, therefore, that 2007 should see this rare and wonderful sports-racing car re-entering a full season of competition.
