Jaguar Heritage Museum gets re-launched

The Jaguar Heritage Museum has been re-launched and opens for visitors on 20th July

Mike O’Driscoll is Chairman of the Jaguar Heritage Trust – as well as heading up Jaguar in the UK. He said:

“The collection is an important part of Jaguar’s heritage and allows members of the public and Jaguar enthusiasts from around the world to view the famous cars. The structure of the museum has been re-designed so that visitors will gain a greater understanding of the fantastic racing history of our brand. There will be closer links with Jaguar Cars, which is important for the company’s future.

“It is important that we maintain the link to our heritage and the famous vehicles that have gone before like the C-type and D-type. They are not only part of the history but also part of the sporting pedigree that is Jaguar.”

“Jaguar is becoming a sports car company again and we have exciting plans for the future.”

And there’s some cracking stuff at the Museum, including the first car badged as Jaguar (a 1937 SS), the penultimate long-nose D-Type, the last convertible V12 E-Type as well as a whole heap of Jaguar concepts.

The Jaguar Heritage Museum is open Monday-Friday and the last Sunday of each month. And it’s peanuts to get in.

Well worth a look.
