For the first time a unique range of Jaguar Heritage vehicles has been made available.
This unique range of exciting driving experiences gives participants the unique opportunity to take the wheel of cars of some of Jaguar’s Finest.
Cars being made available include the Le Mans-racing legend Jaguar D-type, yes please, the legendary E-type and Jaguar’s most potent sports car ever, the F-TYPE R Coupé.
This is the first time many of the vehicles in the collection will be driven by members of the public. This fantastic opportunity follows Jaguar’s recent purchase of over 500 outstanding British heritage cars from a private collector.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations John Edwards, MD, said:
“This is the first experiential offering from our new division and is the first time in Jaguar’s history that we have made a collection of vehicles of this calibre available for ‘arrive and drive’ experiences. It’s an extremely exciting new project that underscores the very essence of what Special Operations is all about – celebrating heritage with our eyes firmly on the future.”
The collection includes many iconic Jaguars, charting over 100 years of beautiful, fast cars from pre- and post-war road racers and Le Mans champions, to later sporting saloons and grand tourers. A variety of drive packages will be available, allowing visitors to experience a particular era or to journey through Jaguar’s history right up to present day heroes such as the F-TYPE R Coupé .

Jaguar Driving Experience (ranging from £95 to £250):
From passenger rides to driving alongside a seasoned professional (including some recognisable faces from the world of motorsport), visitors can choose from individual models – including an XK150 or Mark 2 saloon – or selected pairings such as the Series 1 and Series 3 E-type. There’s also the option to drive heritage cars alongside their modern counterparts, such as an E-type with a factory-fresh F-TYPE.
Le Mans Jaguar Driving Experience (£750):
Re-live the experiences of legends such as Mike Hawthorn and Duncan Hamilton for half a day, with drives in the iconic C and D-types that dominated the world famous 24-hour endurance race in the 1950s. This package will also feature drives in the XKSS and F-TYPE R Coupé, and includes lunch.

A full day of driving Jaguar Heritage legends, from post-war racers to sports saloons, coupés, roadsters and much more, including the new XFR and F-TYPE R Coupé models.

The first visitors to Jaguar’s Heritage Experience days will also be invited to exclusive guided viewings of the ‘Perfect Ten’ exhibition, installed at Fen End for a limited period following its recent launch at the Jaguar XE reveal at Earls Court, London. The ‘Perfect Ten’ is made up of iconic Jaguars selected by a distinguished panel including design director Ian Callum, Lord March of the Goodwood Estate and AC/DC front man Brian Johnson.
