MY FIRST ride in a Jaguar was in the late Fifties when a local farmer gave mea lift to school after my bike developed a puncture. I’d actually let it down since I hadn’t done all my homework, but that’s another story.
Following a short flirtation with an Austin A30 and Wolseley 444, I bought my first new car, a 1964 HA Viva. After about 18 months, I had it supercharged and boy did it scream.
Fast forward to 1992 (and lots of sensible cars later) and I bought an eight month-old Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4. At the time, I think it was advertised as the fastest saloon in the world.

Rolling road
A SNOWY February morning is not the ideal time to be taking out a pristine Jaguar E-type, and an early Series 1, flat-floor model at that. But my mate Bryan Smart has booked his in for a three hour session on a rolling road, and doesn’t want to miss the appointment. He’s not looking for more power – this car is standard, but it doesn’t idle as smoothly as it should. He’s not bad with spanners himself, but neither he nor a couple of specialists have been able to solve the issue.

Family Ties
Despite the thirty years that separate the E-type 2+2 Series 1 from the XK8 they have many similarities – such as being fun and the added practicality of four seats to attract the family man. We test 4.2-litre versions of both cars back-to-back.
