Not heavy Kudos to Richard Bremner for writing such a brilliant piece on the S.S.1 Airline. I’ve often seen that car at Jaguar Heritage’s collection centre in Gaydon so it was great to read more about its history and what it’s like to drive. I will take issue with Richard, though, describing it as “heavy around the rear”. I think – and most will agree – it’s a very handsome car and not at all as Richard described. Thanks again for a great site.

No less interesting marked the centenary of Jaguar was a masterful piece of publishing, covering all bases of the company’s 100 years. I especially liked the biographies of nine important people and could easily have read nine more! I also liked the E-type and DB6 twin test, two cars I will never, sadly, get to buy myself but that made the article no less interesting. And sorry to read Paul Walton is suffering my issues with his XF Sportbrake. I had a similar car for a few years and similar problems, finally selling it in 2018 for – whisper it – a Honda SUV which (fingers crossed) has been bullet proof so far. Jaguar certainly needs to improve its reliability if it’s to reach another 100 years! Congratulations to all the team for such a great magazine and keep up the good work.
