PAUL WALTON • Mk2 or S-type?

CRAIG CHEETHAM • The fire inside

KEITH HELFET • The F-Type Concept

TWO’S COMPANY • For many people, both the cars pictured here play second fiddle to the iconic Mk2. However, we disagree. We think each of these cars makes a fine alternative to the much-loved baby Jag regardless of price. But of the two, which one comes out on top?

Force of nature • Despite the popularity of the S-TYPE R it wasn’t a certainty Jaguar would produce an R version of the XF. But when it did the car would become one of the company’s greatest high-performance saloons. To mark the model’s 15th anniversary, we look at its history and specification before sampling a very early example

CAT WITH CLAWS • We look back at the story of Jaguar’s most iconic sports saloon

Track Changes • Thanks to its experiences in motorsport, the ultimate Mk2 is one with modifications by Coombs of Guildford. We look at the history of Coombs’ relationship with Jaguar before trying a rare genuine example

Special order • Just a tiny handful of XJ12 Series IIIs were given TWR’s Jaguar Sport range of updates making this late Daimler Double Six incredibly rare. We look at the model’s history and explain its place in Jaguar’s history

Keeping it in The Family • We investigate the rebirth of a late-model member of the Mk2 family, a special survivor with just one surname in the logbook

ALWAYS THE BRIDESMAID… • The most overlooked member of the Mk2 family offers everything enthusiasts say they want. So why is it not the most valued?

Perfect Pedigree • We take a trip to Bedfordshire to sample a fascinating E-type, a Semi-Lightweight model with proper provenance and a racing pedigree

JAGUAR S-TYPE • Derived from the Mk2 but featuring numerous updates, Jaguar’s newest compact saloon was a technological advance, and still makes an excellent buy all these years later. But if you’re tempted by an S-type, what needs checking before you take the plunge?

WORK SHOP • JW’s technical section where we give help, advice and guidance, making Jaguar ownership that little bit easier

2004 Jaguar XJ6 3.0 SE • No news is good news as far as our Editor is concerned. Mending things is even better.

2013 XF 2.2D Sportbrake • After putting his XF Sportbrake back to work following its brief holiday, he tries rectifying a previous mistake with mixed results

2007 XF 4.2 Premium Luxury • The early V8 XF gets ready for its first MOT in new ownership and receives some key preparation: a good clean.

2004 Jaguar S-TYPE R • This month sees Mark’s Brands Hatch debut

Diagnosing head gasket failure • Independent classic Jaguar specialist Ken Jenkins demonstrates how to figure out the problem when a Mk1 Jaguar is blowing water out of its exhaust

TRANSMISSION ISSUES • ZF’s automatic gearboxes have long been used in a range of Jaguars. How they work can feel like a dark art, or is it? We put several questions to ZF to dispel the myths

Inspecting a Daimler V8 • Having covered less than 700 miles in the last three years, we inspect a 1963...
