PAUL WALTON • Maxing an F-Type SVR
CRAIG CHEETHAM • A tale of two trim levels
KEITH HELFET • Designing the XK180
Open season • If you wanted the Miami Vice lifestyle in the 1980s, an upmarket convertible was almost a badge of office – and the Mercedes-Benz SL had been the ultimate upmarket convertible since its launch in 1971. But could the Jaguar XJ-SC do it better?
End of an Era • Not only is the final E-Type the last example of this iconic model but it also represents an end of an era for Jaguar. To mark the 50th anniversary of its assembly, we look at the car’s background before explaining its place in the company’s history
Over the top • To discover if a decade after its debut, the F-TYPE R is still as good to drive as it is to look at, we take an early example across one of the UK’s most challenging roads, Blakey Ridge located in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors
MEMORY LANE • Paul looks at eight of the many drive stories he’s enjoyed with F-TYPEs over the last decade
Grand vision • This Italian Racing Red coupe from 2014 is an important car for two reasons; not only is it the final150-generation of XK but it also ended Jaguar’s 40-year-long history in producing four-seat grand tourers
Last chance • The final XKR might be ten years old, but as this brief drive shows, the big grand tourer still feels relatively modern
