Jaguar Heritage Driving

I was lucky enough to be hosted by Jaguar at their new facility at their 200-acre testing facility in Fen End, Warwickshire at the weekend on my London stop over.

The Jaguar Heritage Driving experience allows these cars to be driven as well as brand new vehicles. I drove the E-Type and the new F-TYPE.

I was hosted by Mike Wilds, one of the United Kingdoms most experienced racing drivers; many of the cars were originally raced by him in the sixties and seventies.
