Jaguar drives 75 classics across UK to celebrate 75th anniversary

Cars that took part in the drive were 75 specially selected classic and or iconic Jaguar models made since the company was established in 1935. Many of the selected cars were simply driven by private owners but all were numbered from one to 75, appropriately.

Some of the cars to make the drive were brought out from Jaguar's own heritage collection as well, including many ultra-rare road-going legends from classic races of the Sixties and Seventies such as, a Jaguar XJ 13 Le Mans special. An infamous and gorgeous Jaguar XK120 (pictured in first image [white]) - named after its 120mph top speed (200km/h), making it the fastest production car of its time. And a fine example of the ferocious Jaguar XJ220 from the Nineties - named after its 217mph top speed (350km/h).

Also making an appearance were a number of other fine Jaguar examples from yesteryear and newer modern classics of today. Such as multiple Jaguar E-Types of varying specification as well as examples of the current Jaguar range.
