HOW SERIOUS DOES HISTORIC RACING NEED TO BE - and should replica cars be used instead of genuine? Take the case of this once nicely original C-Type XKC032. It spent quite a number of years in Sydney owned by collector Pat Burke and was demonstrated by Stirling Moss (01) at the 1984 Jaguar commemoration held at now-defunct Amaroo Park racing circuit. The C-Type was sold brand new to the first F1 World Champion Guiseppe Farina, having been displayed at the Brussels Motor Show. It went soon after to the U.S. where it was raced extensively but was eventually modified there with a Ford 4.7 litre V8 engine and a Borg Warner all-synchro gearbox.

SERIOUS UP-DATES MAKE IT BETTER - AND IT'S DIESEL F-pace next level
THE F-PACE IS JAGUAR'S BEST SELLING MODEL AND continues to improve in all ways. The 2021 upgrades are sensational to the point where it now feels close to an XJ from the driver or passenger seats. It is that luxurious. It is multi-purpose too, so aside from family duties, it will handle the dirty stuff like a dedicated SUV and, encouragingly, Jaguar really has got its head around what the F-PACE was capable of achieving from its inception.
