X-TYPE at 25 • With competitors like the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes C-Class dominating the compact executive market, launching a smaller Jaguar at the dawn of the 21st century made sense. But what held back the X-TYPE from achieving greater success – and on its silver jubilee, is it time to view it as an emerging classic?
EVOLUTION of the SPECIES • The Jaguar X300 was ultimately a stopgap; a facelift waiting for a new engine. The X308 gave it that engine – but did it make it a better car?
UNDERSTATED EVOLUTION • Restored and subtly upgraded in the early Nineties by a well-known New Zealand based-specialist together with a recent recommission by another closer to home has left this 1963 Mk2 3.8 in a beautiful yet usable condition
ROAD WARRIOR • Arriving a decade ago, the F-TYPE SVR was the fastest, hardest and most performance-orientated Jaguar since the XJ220. To mark the tenth anniversary of this monumental machine, we take a look at its development before trying a rare example
