So I went to this Jaguar gathering...

So, I went to this Jaguar gathering being held today. It was organised by the local Jaguar Drivers' Association.

I took some photos of the more interesting cars for y'all.

Enjoy.

1931 SS1 (apparently the pre-cursor to Jaguar as we know it?)

Mark V

XJ Sport

XJ 12

XJS V12 Convertible

XJS V12 Coupe with 'all the mod-cons'

A swag of XKRs

E-Type Convertible (lives three houses up from me)

E-Type Coupe (left-hand drive )

And the highlight of the show for me, this Daimler Double Six Turbo

And as a parting shot, check out the windscreen squirters on the E-Type Convertible!

​

I'd like some information on the Daimler Double Six Turbo if anyone knows anything. What's its story?

Thanks.

great pics there... I especially liked the LIL CAT one

The turbo is not a fatory car.

It's either a very well presented conversion (you can hardly see down the sides of the engine anyhow so who knows what's down there) or a very nice and shiny badge.

Either way I bet it flies!

Good pictures though.

That's some good pics.

The Daimler Double Six was factory stock... the top line of the XJ; has been for a while. Now it's just called the Daimler Saloon. The turbo is not stock.

What is a double six? A very tall V-12?

I was thinking when I was editing these pics for the web that I should have had a closer look in the engine bay for the turbo(s) and got a shot.

Now, it seems, I may have just been duped by 'a shiny badge'.

How much of a tool do you have to be to do that to such a nice car?
