Visitors were www.facebook.com/jdcli/ presented with the largest gathering (Continued on page 2) celebrating 60 years since its launch and was immortalised by the fictional British TV detective Inspector Morse. More than 60 legendary TWR Racing team members reunited for the first time A historically significant moment occurred during the event when visitors witnessed over 60 ex-team members of the legendary Tom Walkinshaw Racing team (TWR), who were based locally in Kidlington, re-united for the first time. The reunion included personnel involved in all aspects of the team from engineers and mechanics to racing drivers and designers from an internationally famous racing team. TWR employed hundreds of people in Oxfordshire and beyond during their heyday and became synonymous with Jaguar after talking them to initial victory with the European Touring Car series with the XJS programme of the early-1980s. TWR followed that up with World Sportscar championship wins and victory at Le Mans in 1988 and 1990. Later, TWR developed road cars for Jaguar and eventually translated their racing car into supercar guise in the form of the XJR-15 leading to what was to become the fastest car in the world at the time, the Jaguar XJ220. The TWR display at Blenheim found crowds buzzing excitedly over the legendary purple liveried XJR-9, the very car that won Le Mans in 1988 and Tom Walkinshaw’s own Group A XJ-S V12 still resplendent in its white-on-green livery. One of the TWR XJ220s that raced at Le Mans in 1993 was also present, displayed at the show by owner Don Law. Interviews and commentary were ongoing throughout the day and broadcast to the palace grounds via a huge TV wall, with expert presenter Wayne Scott interviewing visiting celebrities from the world of Jaguar. Interviewees included 1988 Le Mans winning driver Andy Wallace, TWR engineer Allan Scott, race strategist Alastair MacQueen and revered racing car designer Tony Southgate, who was responsible for penning the TWR Group C Jaguars. Speaking during his interview at the event, Andy Wallace, who drove the Silk Cut Jaguar XJR9 to victory at Le Mans in 1988 alongside Jan Lammers and Johnny Dumfries said, “It’s been great meeting up with all my old pals from TWR. When we won Le Mans in 1988 it was really was a team effort. It was an incredibly important moment in my racing career that I look back at with pride and to be able to share those memories with Jaguar fans today was something special.” More than just anniversaries Fans of British GT motorsport flocked towards the palace courtyard, which displayed the Invictus Games Racing team, giving aficionados an opportunity to get up close with the team’s F-type currently competing in the GT4 category of the championship. Consisting of two ex-military servicemen, Paul Vice and Steve McCulley, who overcame horrific injuries fighting for their country, the Invictus Games Racing team was represented by their pro-driver team mate Matthew George, who spent the day chatting to fans, signing autographs and explaining the inspirational story behind the team. Jaguar fans travelled from all over the UK and indeed the world to attend the event, including visitors from the USA and mainland Europe. One such owner, Tor Bottolfsen, drove his TWR Jaguar XJ12 all the way from Norway to attend. In recognition of this, he was awarded the first “Trust Trophy” from the Jaguar Heritage Trust for his very rare car which is one of just six ever made. The event also offered a trade show, selling everything from hard-to-find model cars to new-old parts and contemporary products for both classic and modern Jaguars. For fans of aviation, the day was punctuated with a Supermarine Spitfire fly-past courtesy of the Battle of Britain Memorial flight over the house known as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Those who remained torn between attending Blenheim’s 2019 Summer Jaguar Festival and watching the Spanish Grand Prix found solace when the F1 event was shown live on the big screen from 2pm onwards, courtesy of event sponsors Pirelli. Speaking after the event, the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club General Manager James Blackwell said, “We had high hopes for the event at Blenheim Palace and on the day the festival exceeded all our expectations. It was a really special day, made perfect by the glorious sunshine and the elegantly grand surroundings that complimented perfectly, the vast array of classic Jaguars on display. We had so many great comments from the more than one thousand Jaguar owners showing their cars throughout the day. Keep an eye out in the very near future for another Summer Jaguar Festival coming your way.” Andy Webber, Event Manager for the Summer Jaguar Festival said, “One of the many highlights was reuniting all those incredible team members from the Tom Walkinshaw Racing team. It was a very memorable moment and we were proud, through the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club to be the conduit to that historic occasion.” Andy Webber adds: “The Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club specifically opted for Blenheim Palace this year, because not only did the surroundings compliment the luxurious and quintessentially British identity of Jaguar, but it also offered the perfect display area within the courtyard to draw attention to some particularly special vehicles as well as stunning park grounds for hosting our display cars and trade area. Furthermore, the surrounding parkland road system was ideal for our cavalcade with a route special enough to give the parade a real sense of occasion.” As the baking sun saw out the afternoon shadows, the village of Woodstock’s roads became dominated by a plethora of both classic and modern Jaguars as participants set off for home, drawing locals onto the streets for an impromptu spectacle.

    Jaguar Xj220

    13/11/2020 JAGUAR XJ220 JAGUAR WHO? XJ220 Jaguar is a staple name in the world of Brish car manufacturers. They've been around since the dawn of me, building brush sports cars, whilst their big saloons have been driven by everyone from East End Gangsters to policians over the years. But some good people have driven them too… Well, that's almost all true. Jaguar actually started as the Swallow (sniggers) sidecar company in 1922, before becoming the S.S. Car Company. In 1935, they built a sports saloon called the Jaguar, and following some less than posive connotaons with a German military unit, in 1945 the S.S. Car Company became Jaguar Cars. Famously headed by Sir. William Lyons, the brand became synonymous with luxury and speed, producing what are undoubtedly some of the coolest cars to ever exist. Wrien by: Si McNally I Photography by: Rick Noel 13/11/2020 JAGUAR XJ220 As a child in the early '90s, if you had even a passing interest in cars, it was guaranteed you had a poster of either a Ferrari F40, Porsche 959 or an XJ220 on the wall. If you were “into” cars, you had a couple. Me? I had all 3. And a problem, WHAT? apparently. The XJ220 is, without a doubt, the ulmate early '90s Brish supercar. It's big and brash, without being in your face, and is as happy cruising at 200mph (on a private road, officer) as it is cruising Mayfair, looking suave. But it wasn't always that way. In fact, the twin turbo V6 (which isn't taken directly from a Metro 6R4, as so many people think) and rear wheel drive that make the 220 so ludicrous, were never actually meant to be there.

    Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview

    Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview Origins of the name Daimler Confusingly, the name Daimler is used by two completely separate groups of car manufacturers. The history of both companies can be traced back to the German engineer Gottlieb Daimler who built the first cars in 1889. This was the origin of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, which is translated as Daimler Motor Company, which has manufactured vehicles since the 1890s. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, having sold licences to use the Daimler name in a number of countries. The licence granted in 1891 to the British F. R. Simms & Co included the right to use the Daimler name in Great Britain and in 1896 the British Daimler Motor Company was founded. History of the Daimler Motor Company (GB) The Daimler Motor Company Limited, was an independent In the 1950s, Daimler stopped making Lanchesters, and tried British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. to widen its appeal with a line of new developed sport cars J. Lawson in 1896, which set up its manufacturing base in and high-performance luxury limousines. Their chairman, Sir Coventry. The company bought the right to the use of the Bernard Docker and his newly married wife Norah Collins Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and performed highly publicised extravagances. This led to the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft of Cannstatt, Germany. After fact that the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II, who had a early financial difficulty and a reorganization of the company preference for Rolls-Royce anyway, did not use Daimler for in 1904, the Daimler Motor Company was purchased by official events since 1955.
