Default 90 jaguars for 90 years tour...

Jaguar Heritage invited me along to the final leg of their 90th anniversary of Jaguar Cars in Blackpool.

Info here...
Jaguar Heritage

For those that don't know, Sir William Lyons started off making side cars for motorbikes, then re-bodied Austin cars, finally moving to Coventry to make our beloved Jag's...

Great set of pics and a rare opportunity to see as many models on the road together.

I spotted one German registration. Was it the only non-UK vehicle on the tour?

That looks like it was a great day by the beach.

I think the guy who brought the green SS won the furthest, Adelaide Australia! I spoke to someone from Belgium, and there must have been more guys from overseas.

An interesting note, these cars covered over 1000 miles relatively trouble free, I wonder if the forum has helped any of the owners?

As ever the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust's organisation and support was superb.

I wonder what the return shipping cost is Adelaide - Coventry - Adelaide!

That really is an enthusiast.
