Club Torque - President’s Report

President’s Report October 2024

Well, the AGM is done and dusted for 2024 and you have a newish committee. As indicated last month Graeme Moore stood down as Vice President prior to the AGM and the casual vacancy has been filled by Tim White.

Moira Lugg was elected Secretary and has already shown what a great asset she will be.

Peter Holland returns having been elected to one of the two additional elected positions provided for in the Constitution. No nominations were received for the Treasurer position that was the third position to be filled. I was not up for election so I’m in this seat for another year.

Since the AGM the Executive Committee has appointed Heather Buck and Daphne Charman to the two discretionary committee positions provided for in the Constitution. Heather has thankfully agreed to act in the Treasurer role until someone comes forward to take over – please form an orderly queue.

The Executive Committee has also formally created a new Register –The Ladies Social Group with Tricia Clarke as Register Secretary. This has created another casual vacancy on the committee as Tricia was previously occupying one of the two additional elected positions provided for in the Constitution.

The Register Secretaries, who are also members of the Executive Committee, have been re-elected by their respective Registers and it is no surprise that in each case there was only one nominee.

The death of Life Member Geoffrey Thomas – past President, Vice President and Register Secretary - was announced at the AGM and quite a few members attended his funeral on 9th September where he received a fitting send off. I was invited by Margaret and the family to speak on behalf of JDCSA.

The Executive Committee has begun discussing the format and frequency of General Meetings – should they continue to be held monthly and at

night? Perhaps there is an opportunity for bi-monthly meetings, different venues, daytime meetings or even streamed meetings. Nothing has been decided, just some initial thoughts, but given our aging membership and the reluctance of some to drive at night it may be time to consider other options. If members have some thoughts on the subject, please take the opportunity to speak to a committee member or your Register Secretary so that we can judge the mood for any change.

There are still funds available for members who may wish to attend a First Aid Course or CPR refresher. If this is you, please speak to Heather so that she can arrange the course payment.

Now I know that we all enjoy receiving and reading ‘Classic Marque’ each month, it is a vital part of our club. I have said before that ‘Classic Marque’ has to be the best car club magazine around; I certainly haven’t seen a better one. Our Editor Graham Franklin does an amazing job, but he has advised that this will be his final year. We must have ‘Classic Marque’ and this requires an Editor - if you have ever thought that you might like to express your creative self here is an opportunity. We all know Graham is going to be a very hard act to follow and that it will be a brave soul who takes on the role but don’t be afraid there will be plenty of help. It may even be possible for more than one person to become involved – one doing research and one doing production. Anything will be considered. We have just under twelve months to find the new ‘Classic Marque’ Editor – expect to hear more on this until we find a solution.

Even a cursory glance at the Events Calendar reveals the many opportunities members have to engage with the club over the next couple of months. I challenge every club member to attend one event before Christmas.

Until next month, mind how you go. Michael @sajaguarclub

Club Torque - Editor’s Column

Since Michael completed his President's report, where he wrote about the death of Life Member Geoffrey Thomas, unfortunately the club has lost another very special Life Member, Malcolm Adamson.

We will write more about Malcolm's wonderful contribution to our club next month.

With the passing of these two great stalwarts, and what they brought to the Club, it may making the reading of this issue of Classic marque more difficult. However, we know they wouldn’t want us to stop promoting both our wonderful Club and the Jaguar Marque.

This month we have covered the Compact Register Run to Mildura along

with Register events held in September and Jaguar related news stories.

For our better halves, there is a story about 'Fast Female Drivers at Bathurst' and for the owners of diesel-powered Jaguars, there is a technical overview of the AJD-V6 Diesel Engine.

Make sure we see you all at S.A. Jag Day. Cheers

Vale Notice - Malcolm Adamson

It is difficult to come to terms with the fact that we will never see Malcolm again. Malcolm was a loyal, reliable, and hard-working supporter and participant in our club for over 50 years.

Even before the JDCSA was formed, Malcolm used to drive over in his 1.5

litre Mark IV to Ian Forrester’s home on a Sunday morning. Along with other Jaguar enthusiasts, they used to meet and discuss cars and other matters including the need to form a Club, and that is what eventually happened.

When the club was being established, there were discussions around the Aims of the club, and Malcolm pushed to get included as one of the Aims, for members to actually get out there with their cars and promote, advance and perpetuate the Jaguar, SS and Daimler Marques to the wider community. He had a Board made up that had about 5 or 6 aims of the club and used to display it at club events. Right to the end, Malcolm lived up to his passion as he attended the ‘Coffee & Cars’ circuits on Sunday mornings with his Jaguars.

Not surprisingly, Malcolm (along with Judy his wife dec'd) was awarded life membership for his tireless work for the club. Apart from SS, Mk IV & Mk V Register Secretary, which he described as a wonderful experience, Malcolm was also Club Auditor for a number of years and he attended every 'Border Run' from the very first one in 1975 onwards, and there have been almost 50 now. 2024 will be the first one without him

Malcolm was a wonderful ambassador for our club and he will be greatly missed to those who had known him. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. His Funeral Service will be held at 9.30am on the 4th of October at the Heysen Chapel, Centennial Park, Pasadena.

Vale Notice - Geoff Thomas

Sadly, we have lost another longtime member of our club - Geoff Thomas.

Geoff purchased a Daimler 2.5L V8 Saloon in 1990 and commenced a restoration with the help of longtime friend Noel Orford. When the restoration was completed in time for his daughter Angela’s wedding it was an absolute credit; one of the very best examples in Australia. Soon after the wedding duties Geoff and his wife Margaret joined the JDCSA in December 1993 and Geoff became member #1856.

Geoff quickly became very active in the club and held many positions, including President (2003-2005), Vice President (2005-2007), Compact Register Secretary (2009-2011) and was also involved in several National Rally Committees – particularly the 38th

Jaguar National Rally held at Glenelg in 2007.

Geoff was awarded a Life Membership of the club in 2013 in recognition of his dedicated service, not only to the club but to many members.

In 2014 Geoff sold his Daimler and purchased a 1975 Jaguar XJ6 SII which he and Margaret continued to enjoy; participating in many club events here and interstate. Geoff was a very proud South Australian but didn’t mind occasionally mixing with Mexicans from across the border.

In more recent times Geoff and Margaret very much enjoyed organising the club’s annual Presentation Dinner or Luncheon with the Hollands.

In July last year Geoff was presented with his new badge and a certificate to

recognise his thirty years as a member of the Jaguar Drivers Club of South Australia.

We all wish Margaret and Geoff’s family our most sincere condolences.

We think that Nick will be a very dynamic and interesting speaker and hope to get a large number of attendees to the General meeting.

Executive Committee

November General Meeting is on October 29th Including a Special General Meeting

The Club has had to bring forward the November General Meeting that would have normally been held on Tuesday November the 5th, a week earlier to Tuesday 29th October, because the 'The Junction' and other venues are unavailable due to a clash with Melbourne Cup events.

New Members Story - Geoffrey Shannon

I am originally from Melbourne and moved to Burra, SA, when I retired in February this year after working in a general engineering and gear cutting workshop for 51 years.

My first Jaguar was a 1966 S Type. But the usual happened and I got married and had two kids and a mortgage. My wife was using the Jaguar as her daily driver but got stopped a few times by someone offering to buy it. We continued to say no but they eventually made an offer we could not refuse. At the time the money was very handy but of course we now wished we had kept it.

I have always messed around with cars and was on the lookout for a future project. In 2011 a 1948 Mark IV came up for auction that had been in storage since 1968 and thought it would be a

good retirement project so I bid on it and was successful.

At the time all I did was remove the engine and gearbox as I wanted to restore those while I had access to the workshop I was working in. The car was put back into storage until this year when I removed the seats to be re-upholstered in leather.

The engine and gearbox both had full rebuilds and I had to make many parts. The motor now has Mark VII domed pistons and the crankshaft modern oil seals.

I am now about to remove the body from the chassis and finish restoring everything else.

I joined the Victorian Jaguar club when I bought the Mark IV and are still a

NOTICE BOARD

member. I am very grateful for the help I got from the members, especially Ian Mullins who helped with parts and his immense knowledge.

I joined the South Australian club in June this year. As we have been busy these last eight months settling into our new house, I have not had time to attend any meetings or events here with the SA club but hopefully this is about to change.

The photo of the car was taken in 2011 when I first purchased it. I still haven't washed it and it is still covered in the same dust. The photo of the motor was taken last year when I finished the rebuild.

Editor: Thank you very much for your story. You will find a lot of knowledge and help here in SA through our SS, Mk IV, MkV Register.

Unprecedented Victory at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

The annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the most revered and important automotive competition in the world, once again presented an assemblage of the finest collector cars as it’s now done for 73 years.

On the final fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links, 214 vehicles from around the globe converged to compete for the crown and add exponentially to their provenance and value just by participating, as was the result for the 2023 winner, a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster.

This year’s exhibition was unique, though, in that it marked the first time an unrestored automobile took the top honour, 'Best of Show', which was bestowed on a 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports.

The Bugatti bested an array of entrants divided into 28 classes that included a commemoration of the 125th anniversary of Packard, the 110th anniversary of Maserati, the 70th year of the Jaguar D-Type, and a celebration of nearly seven decades of iconic wedgeshaped automobiles.

Best Of Show

This Bugatti Type 59 Sports was one of only six examples and it is the first unrestored vehicle, (or “preservation car” as the Pebble judges call it), to ever win the top honour at the world’s most prestigious concours.

This specific Type 59 first competed in the 1934 Monaco Grand Prix and placed third overall with renowned racer René Dreyfuss behind the wheel. The firstplace finishes to follow included the Algerian Grand Prix and the Grand Prix de la Marne, before it was purchased by Belgium’s King Leopold III.

The monarch was the steward of the car until 1951. The owners to follow all felt that a restoration would be wrong, and so it remains race-worn and remarkable.

Postwar Sports Racing

A 1955 Jaguar D-type (XKD 526), shown by Mark Haddawy, Los Angeles, California, won the 'Postwar Sports Racing' Class at Pebble Beach.

Early last year XKD 526 was subject to a comprehensive originality-preserving restoration that was completed in record time, and to an incredible standard.

XKD 526 was one of only three D-Types registered new in Australia. See story page 36-37.

A 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV Bertone Coupé Speciale from Florida won the 'Postwar Sports' Class and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Saoutchik Fastback Coupé from the Czech Republic won the 'Postwar Touring' Class.

The 10 Most Exciting Cars

The Robb Reports 10 favourites were: -

1. 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero Bertone Coupe.

2. 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 GS Saotchik Fastback Coupe.

3. 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Scaglietti Berlinetta Lusso.

4. 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT Touring Coupé.

5. 1925 Bugatti Type 30 Torpedo.

6. 1955 Mercedes-Benz W196 R Formula 1 Race Car.

7. 1964 Iso Rivolta A3C Drogo Coupe.

8. 1938 Maserati 8CTF “Boyle Special” Indianapolis 500 Race Car.

9. 1960 Porsche 1600GS Carrera GTL Abarth Coupe.

10. Best of Show: 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports

UK - Coroner Urged JLR to Redesign I-Pace Gear Selector

A UK coroner has urged Jaguar to reconsider the design of their I-PACE after the tragic death of a seven-yearold boy who was crushed between two vehicles while putting on his rugby boots. The boy was pinned between his family's car and a van, after the driver of a Jaguar I-PACE pressed the wrong button while trying to reverse. The SUV driver "relied on feel" to find the reverse button, but ended up accelerating forward for 10 seconds, shunting the van in front into the boy.

Despite the quick efforts of the boy's father to move the family car forward and release his son, the seven-year-old rugby fan died shortly after. His cause of death was ruled as being due to blunt force traumatic chest injuries.

Unlike conventional vehicles, the Jaguar I-Pace does not have a regular gear stick, instead relying on an automatic transmission with three buttons - drive, neutral, and reverse.

In the tragic accident, the 55-year-old man driving the Jaguar used his left hand to select the reverse button in order to straighten up the car, which belonged to his wife. However, he did not check the button and instead relied on his sense of touch to make the selection, and then ignored a warning alarm.

The Coroner issued a "Prevention of Future Deaths Report" at the close of the inquest, acknowledging the driver's "number of errors" but pointed to a potential problem with the design of the car's electric transmission. Addressing Jaguar, she said: "In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action."

In addition to failing to check he was in reverse before pressing the accelerator, police officers investigating the incident found that the man failed to press the vehicle's brake once, even while his car went forward for 10 seconds and rearended the van parked in front.

The Coroner said: "However, these errors occurred as a result of there being no intermediary step within the Jaguar I-PACE being necessary to put the car into drive/reverse other than pressing a button."

"In the police officer’s opinion, if there had also been a lever or something similar present in the vehicle that needed to be engaged before a button was pressed, this may alert drivers to the fact that they have pushed the incorrect button on the 3-button console."

A 55-year-old man was arrested by Devon and Cornwall Police on suspicion

of causing death by careless driving after the incident, and was later released on police bail. However, the driver died before he could be prosecuted, leaving his name redacted from the Coroner's report.

Jaguar Land Rover has until October 22 to respond to the report. The company said in a statement: “We have received correspondence from the Coroner and shall be responding in due course."

“Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family of the boy, following his accidental death.” .

JLR Aiming to Encourage Drivers to Clean Their Cars

JLR is aiming to increase driver awareness of critical advanced driving assistance (ADAS) systems, after its survey found many drivers are not clear about the technologies.

Latest vehicles now incorporate more ADAS features than ever before as standard, to support the driver, yet a JLR survey found 41 per cent of respondents are not clear what their ADAS systems do, and can’t locate a sensor on their car.

The survey also found nearly a fifth of drivers do not realise safety critical ADAS systems, such as autonomous emergency braking or reversing collision detection systems can switch off when their cars’ sensors are obscured by dirt or other debris.

JLR has been working with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to increase awareness and the DVSA has updated its driver guidebooks and other literature with information about ADAS systems and is issuing public guidance to increase awareness of the issue.

Other survey findings included:

• 36% of UK drivers have experienced their ADAS sensors not working because they are dirty.

• 20% do not plan to clean their car more often, even though it will ensure the ADAS sensors work effectively.

JLR’s next generation electric vehicles will be built on the NVIDIA DRIVE™ software-defined platform - delivering a wide spectrum of active safety, automated driving and parking systems as well as driver assistance systems.

Inside the vehicle, the system will deliver AI features, including driver and occupant monitoring as well as advanced visualisation of the vehicle’s environment. .

USA- Lawsuit Accuses JLR of Selling Driver Data to Insurers

In March, a story broke that numerous car brands in the U.S. were selling driving data to insurers. Then, just a few weeks ago, a pair of senators called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the practice. A pair of lawsuits swiftly followed, alleging Hyundai and Kia, as well as GM, had been unlawfully selling driving data.

Now, a proposed class action lawsuit claims Jaguar Land Rover North America is jumping on the same bandwagon, though JLR denies the allegations.

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court of Massachusetts, alleges that the brand captures and shares personal data collected through several software features, including InControl, which has been used since 2014.

According to the owners involved in the class action, this system can track the location of a vehicle, data about acceleration, hard braking, and highspeed events, while even transmitting

details about Bluetooth calls and music played in the car. JLR is then accused of providing and/or selling some or all of this data to credit agencies and/or dataaggregation companies, all without the owners’ knowledge.

Once credit agencies gain access to this data, they can turn around and sell it to automotive insurance companies, according to the lawsuit. These insurers then use the data to adjust and hike up their quotes and premiums, often to the detriment of the car owners.

“The net result is every entity in this series of transactions is profiting from the sale of drivers’ data, while drivers themselves not only do not see a penny from the sale of their own data, but often see their insurance quotes or premiums inexplicably go up,” the lawsuit argues.

The lawsuit identifies two plaintiffs: who received a software update making it clear their car was connected to the internet.

The plaintiffs say the continuous software connections were not adequately disclosed in JLR’s marketing materials, and reached out to the company.

JLR denied that its vehicles collect customer data or that it participates in data collection and the sharing and/or selling practices alleged. .

UK - Madonna's Classic Mk X 4.2 Going Under the Hammer

Madonna’s 1967 Jaguar Mark X 4.2 will go up for auction with H&H Classics on the 9th of October 2024.

The Queen of Pop reportedly purchased the classic in 2021 for her son Rocco Ritchie to use. Since then, Rocco and Madonna have been pictured in the vehicle in and around London.

Earlier this year, Madonna staged a photoshoot in this Mark X with images posted on her Instagram account.

If the car’s celebrity status isn’t a winning factor for you, it’s a gorgeous example

of the Jaguar Mark X. The vehicle in question was subjected to recent work, during which it received a respray in Opalescent Maroon. The exterior features the typical chrome elements and original wheels, bumpers, side mirrors, emblems, and so on.

Opening the door reveals the cockpit's timeless design, with white leather upholstery wrapped around the seats, door cards, centre console, etc. It features multiple analog gauges and the original steering wheel. For a touch of modernity, the Jaguar has received an infotainment

system integrated into the console right below the dashboard panel.

The Mark X is the rarer 4.2 litre example that was only in production for two years. It will be offered with no reserve giving Madonna and Jaguar fans alike a chance to own this classic car. .

Jaguar InControl Video Review (Australia)

Re-Programming a Key Fob

While preparing for our trip to Tasmania and the Jaguar National Rally at Hobart I thought it would be a good idea if we took the two key-ring transmitters to Josephine's XKR just in case of an inadvertent misplacement. After rescuing the spare key-ring transmitter from its hiding place and trying to unlock the car it was obvious the battery was as ‘flat as a tack’. This shouldn’t have been a surprise because it has not been used for four or five years. No worries I thought, just change the battery and all will be well; not so!

What I didn't know was that by pushing any of the buttons on the key-ring transmitter when the battery is flat disrupts the coding and the car doesn’t recognise the key-ring transmitter. When in doubt read the user manual and I was confronted words you don’t want –“To avoid disrupting the coding of the key-ring transmitter during battery renewal, the operating buttons must not be pressed. If the code is disrupted, it will be necessary to have your Jaguar Dealer reprogramme the key-ring transmitters.”

Not likely I thought. Apart from the inconvenience of having to book the car in there was the anticipated $$$ this exercise was likely to cost. The internet to the rescue. After looking at several Jaguar related forums I eventually found the solution; a step by step guide to re-programming the key-ring transmitter – see below – job done.

I guess the moral of the story is to perhaps alternate usage of the keyring transmitters as when the battery in them starts to lose charge there is a message displayed on the information screen and the battery can be replaced without pushing any of the buttons.

Re-programming Jaguar key-ring transmitters:

1. Enter the car and sit in the driver’s seat

2. Place the key in the ignition.

Four Volume History

3. Hold the headlight flasher arm back – the blue ‘high-beam’ light will come on the dashboard and the headlights will come on.

4. Keep holding the headlight flasher arm back and turn the ignition key to position 1.

5. Release the flasher arm, then flash the headlights FOUR times. You will hear a “beep” and/or see a small red light illuminate briefly on the gear selector on the fourth flash of the headlights – this is to confirm the car has entered programming mode.

6. Program the transmitter (up to five transmitters can be programmed but I only needed to do one) by pressing any button on the transmitter. You will hear a “beep” and/or see the red light on the gear selector with each press of a button.

7. The car MUST “beep” or the red-light flash FIVE times to complete programming. If you are only programming one transmitter you should operate the transmitter (press any button) FIVE times.

8. Wait for the car to exit programming mode – this will be indicated by a final “beep” and/or the flashing of the red light on the gear selector.

Job done!

Book Advert - 50 Years of The JDCC

In March 1971, a notice was widely circulated to Canberra Jaguar drivers on Jaguar Driver’s Club of Australia letterhead. The notice was an open invitation to Jaguar owners in Canberra to attend a meeting to form a Jaguar Divers’ Club of Canberra. The story of the group of motor enthusiasts who responded to that notice, and their successors, has now been published. It is the story of their dedication to the Jaguar Marque and their love of their individual Jaguar cars.

A number of Jaguar devotees did meet on 4 April 1971 and together created the Jaguar Drivers Club of Canberra. In the beginning the members had many ideas for the Club, all of which were focussed on using, maintaining and most importantly, enjoying their special cars.

That Club has now celebrated its 50th anniversary.

This four volume book series edited by Paul Carr, a former President of the JDCC, tells the story of members of the JDCC and their cars in their own words. Many of the stories and photographs have been previously published in the JDCC Club Magazine, The Cat’s Whiskers, or its single-issue predecessor. This is not a definitive history in the academic sense, but rather a collection of stories of people and cars, and through these stories the story of a great Club and its journey over fifty years emerges.

The four-volume series is available for Jaguar Club members through Paul for $250 plus $20 postage. To order, please:

Jaguar History - On this Day (October)

The XK120 was launched at Earls Court on the 27th of October 1948.

The display car was the first prototype, chassis number 660001. It looked almost identical to the production cars except that the straight outer pillars of its windscreen were curved on the production version. The sports car caused a sensation, which persuaded Sir William Lyons to put it into production.

The first 242 cars were wood-framed open 2-seater bodies with aluminium panels. Production switched to the heavier all-steel in early 1950. The XK120 was ultimately available in three body styles, all two-seaters and available either as an open 2-seater (OTS); a fixed head coupé (FHC) from 1951; and a drophead coupé (DHC) from 1953.

The XK120s went on to become very successful in racing and rallying and won numerous events including the 1951 & 1952 Alpine Rally. .

Show-stopper: The very first XK 120 at Earl's Court 27th of October 1948 being examined by Charles Hornburg, Jaguar's west coast importer in the US. This car, chassis no. 660001, had the aluminium/ash frame body common to the first 242 XK 120s, before the change was made to a 'volume' steel body.

When unveiled on the 18th of October 1950, the Mk VII, was totally modern and radically different from the Mk V it supplanted. The girl in this promotional photograph is captioned as Miss Lam Day, but an internet search for her identity failed to produce results.

The 4.2 litre E-Type was launched on the 21st of October 1964 at the British International Motor Show Earls Court.

The 4.2 litre E-Type had a lot more going for it than just the extra capacity that a bore increase of 5.07mm brought. There was a more conventional brake servo which gave more responsive braking, an extremely good 4-speed gearbox (giving a quicker movement and no more crunching), and wider and more comfortable seats.

The glass headlamp covers were retained as well, so that it was impossible to tell the new model from the old apart from the discreet '4.2' badge on the rear hatch/ boot lid.

As weight was only marginally greater, performance was every bit as good as the 3.8's and probably better, thanks to the 4.2 engine's greater torque. With refinements such as its all-synchromesh gearbox, the 4.2 E-Type's corrected many of the original 3.8 litre model's short comings. .

On the 18th October 1950, the Mark VII was launched at the British International Motor Show as the successor to the Jaguar Mark V.

When the Mk VII replaced the Mk V, suddenly the Jaguar saloon had an entirely new 'face', and a number of owners mourned the departure of the big upright radiator grille, sweeping wings and running boards. Nevertheless, there had to be progress and the new allenveloping bodywork of the Mk VII was essential both to provide more room internally and to give a more aerodynamically efficient shape externally. Moreover, almost all other manufacturers had already adopted the streamline approach (in America 10 or even 15 years previous), so the Mk V was, for all its grace, outdated.

The twin-cam engined Mk VIIs were successful in racing and factory-entered Mk VIIs won the Daily Express International Trophy Production Touring Car race at Silverstone five years running, and twice took the top three places. In January 1956 a Mark VII M driven by Ronnie Adams, Frank Biggar, and Derek Johnstone won the Monte Carlo Rally. .

Jaguar History - On this Day (October)

The official launch of the XK8 occurred on 2nd of October 1996 (UK) and 3rd of October 1996 (US), preceded by a ride-and-drive event in France for the UK and European press, and similar events on the East and West Coast for the American press.

Based on Motor Magazine reports, the XK8 lived up to expectations in virtually every respect and, with good availability worldwide at launch, sales were impressive right from the start. Geoff Lawson's styling received wide praise, the car handled well, and the new V8 engine was smooth and torquey.

It was introduced to replace the aging Jaguar XJS and marked a significant step forward in design and technology for Jaguar. 28 years after launch, the XK8 remains highly regarded, and a few early engine issues aside, it has also proved to be very durable. .

The XJ40 was unveiled on 8 October 1986 at the British International Motor Show. (NEC, Birmingham). The official announcement saw much publicity in the daily papers and national television bulletins. This compared to the XJ Series 2 and 3 models which were announced relatively quietly by comparison.

Retired Jaguar founder William Lyons had acted in a consultative role during the XJ40 project's early phase, and was shown the final prototype shortly before his death in 1985, and was said to be approving of the carthus the XJ40 is widely believed to be the final Jaguar to have had Lyons' involvement.

However, the XJ40 had a lengthy gestation period of around 7 years and the protracted development time meant the car dated much quicker than its rivals (BMW, Mercedes). Following the takeover by the Ford Motor Company in 1990, the XJ40 was replaced by the X300. While it was based on the XJ40 platform, the X300 was highly revised in almost all areas. .

The C-X75 debuted at the Paris Motor Show, 2nd of October 2010.

The car was a hybrid-electric, 2-seat, concept car produced by Jaguar in partnership with the Formula One team, Williams. The powertrain of the C-X75 was rated at 778 hp through four electric motors.

The batteries driving these motors were recharged using two diesel-fed micro gas turbines instead of a conventional fourstroke engine.

In May 2011 Jaguar announced a limited run of 250 C-X75s, but production was cancelled in December 2012 due to the ongoing recession.

Five developmental prototypes were produced in the production car specifications in 2013. The car was featured in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, in which seven cars were supplied to the film makers. .

The XJ40 was made available to the press a month or so ahead of the car's unveiling. The above photo shows some of the XJ40 press cars on the lawn at Skibo Castle, Scotland where the journalist test drove the cars.

In 2010 the C-X75 won the Louis Vuitton Classic Concept Award in 2010. Leading the panel of judges from the design and fashion world was automotive consultant and founder of the award, Christian Philippsen, who said: "Ian Callum, Jaguar's design director, and his team have achieved not only a beautiful design and mouth watering technology, but also a true Jaguar, projecting the brand's DNA into the future without an ounce of nostalgia."

The Origins of An Icon (Part 5)

Jaguar Australia are producing a content series called "The Origins of An Icon". Each month they are exploring some of Jaguar’s greatest defining moments. The fifth in the series is as follows.

EXPLORING THE LEGACY OF THE MARK II AND ‘THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD’

This car is one of the last RHD 3.8 litre Mark IIs to be built, in August 1967, a few weeks before production stopped. Finished in Opalescent Dark Green, the car was originally sold in Lancashire, and little is known about its history except that it was the subject of a 1,500 hour rebuild from a bare shell to concours standard before it was purchased for the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in 1992. It was thought to have covered some 40,000 miles from new until restoration.

The Origins of An Icon (Part 5)

Jaguar Mark II (1959)

This legendary mid-sized compact saloon was created to improve on the already outstanding MK II. Jaguar completely re-engineered the Mark II from the waistline up. This resulted in 18% more glass to improve visibility and allow more light into the cabin.

Made from 1959 to 1967, the Mark II saloon was the most successful Jaguar model until that time, with total production of 83,701 units of which the 3.8 litre version accounted for 27,848 units. The 3.8 litre engine developed 220 bhp, leading to a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h), and a 0 to 50 mph (80 km/h) time of 6.4 seconds. This was always considered the most desirable of the Mark II models, especially when fitted with wire wheels and the overdrive gearbox.

The Mark II had a successful competition history in International Touring Car racing, and in rallies. It was driven by Roy Salvadori and Duncan Hamilton amongst others. Always a favourite with Police forces, Mark IIs were often also driven by those on the wrong side of the law! A Mark II was memorably used as a getaway car in the Great Train Robbery in 1963.

By September 1967, Jaguar was rationalising its saloon car range and the existing Mark II models were redesignated as the 240 and the 340. Changes included the fitting of slimmer bumpers as seen on the S-type, and a new design for the hubcaps. The fog and spot lamps were deleted, being replaced by a pair of chromed grilles. Ambla upholstery was standard, with leather as an option.

Production of the 3.8 litre model was discontinued, except for a dozen or so of the 340 models which were fitted with 3.8 litre engines on special requests from customers.

The 340 stayed in production until September 1968, with 2,800 vehicles being produced, whilst the 240 continued until April 1969, with 4,446 vehicles being built.

Afterwards, Jaguar concentrated on the new XJ range, of which a 2.8 litre version was the nearest replacement for the Mark II. The compact Jaguar temporarily passed into history, after total production of almost 146,000 cars of all the different models in the ‘Mark I’ and Mark II ranges from 1955 to 1969. Compact sports saloons were not re-introduced to the Jaguar range until thirty years later, with the S-TYPE in 1998 and the X-TYPE in 2001.

The Origins of An Icon (Part 5)

In 1961 the Jaguar E-Type turned heads with its electrifying looks and sensational performance. Even Enzo Ferrari proclaimed it ‘The most beautiful car in the world’. It was everything the 60s stood for and became the car of choice for the international jet-set, super models and rock stars alike.

The E-Type created a sensation when it was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961. Here was a beautiful sports car with the promise of a top speed of 150 mph, available for little more than £2,000 in the home market. The open car was the work of aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer and was derived from his D-Type racing car. However, Sir William Lyons insisted that there should also be a fixedhead coupé version of the car. This design was created by Bob Blake and became Sir William’s favourite E-Type.

At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1961, two cars served as press demonstrators. One of them was 77 RW, built in February 1961 as the first production open two-seater. It was famously driven out to Geneva in a dramatic 17 hour overnight run by Norman Dewis, then Jaguar’s Test and Development Engineer. 77 RW shown below is the oldest surviving open E-Type.

The E-Type was in many ways developed from Jaguar’s successful racing D-Type which had won the Le Mans race three times from 1955 to 1957. Originally intended as a racing car, the E-Type eventually emerged as a road-going sports and grand touring car, although many E-Types also distinguished themselves in motor racing.

Originally the E-Type was available either as an open two-seater, or as a fastback fixed head coupé. Both cars shared the same basic structure, a monocoque with a front subframe, and were powered by a 3.8 litre version of the proven Jaguar XK engine, developing 265 bhp.

In 1964 the 3.8 litre engine was replaced by a 4.2 litre version, with uprated brakes, better seating and a Jaguar designed and built gearbox replaced the aged Moss box. Then in 1966 a third option was launched – a 2+2 on a slightly longer wheelbase providing rear seats for two children.

In late 1967, all E-Types were modified to comply with the first US safety and emissions regulations which came into force on 1 January 1968, and the resulting interim model has become unofficially

This car was built on 8 October 1963 and was originally finished in Opalescent Silver Blue with Dark Blue interior trim. It was sold in London, with an original registration mark of GS 55. Although the mileage of 61,000 is believed genuine, it was completely restored in previous ownership and was then re-finished in Red with Biscuit trim. It was bought by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in January 2003.

The Origins of An Icon (Part 5)

known as the ‘Series 1½’. From then on, the E-Type lost its headlamp fairings. Bigger changes were in store for the 1969 models, again due to the influence of US legislation. At the front, much larger side lamps and indicators were re-positioned below the bumper and flanked a larger air intake.

The Jaguar V12 engine had been designed during the early 1960s, by a team of engineers including Walter Hassan, Claude Bailey and later Harry Mundy. In its original form, the engine had twin overhead camshafts per bank, and was intended for the XJ13, the stillborn Le Mans challenger with which Jaguar contemplated a return to racing. While the XJ13 was shelved, Jaguar continued the development of the V12 engine for production cars.

The original 5 litre racing V12 with fuel injection had developed no less than 502 bhp. It was decided to simplify the production engine, by using only a single overhead camshaft per bank. Despite this, in its final 1970 production form the 5.3 litre V12 fitted with four ZenithStromberg carburettors still developed 272 bhp.

Although Sir William Lyons was insistent that he wanted the new V12 for the XJ saloon, in a parallel to the 1948 launch of the XK120, it was decided to fit the new engine in a sports car first, and only afterwards in the saloon. The XJ12 saloon was launched in 1972.

Meanwhile, the E-Type became the first car to receive the new engine. The Series 3 V12 was launched on 29 March 1971, and had an immediate impact.

The top speed as measured in an independent road test was 146 mph (235 km/h; less for US specification cars), which was effectively on a par with the original Series 1 E-Type, despite the Series 3 being the bigger and heavier car.

Production of the E-Type came to an end in June 1974 with a special run of fifty cars. Forty-nine of these were painted black, while the second last car was British Racing Green and was supplied to a well-known private Jaguar collector. These fifty cars carried a commemorative plaque, bearing a facsimile of Sir William Lyons’s signature. .

1974 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 OTS HDU 555N. This car is the very last E-Type to be built and was retained by Jaguar from the day it was made. It was built on 12 June 1974 but not registered until 5 February 1975. Ownership was transferred from Jaguar Cars Ltd to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in September 1983.

The AJD-V6 Diesel Engine - Celebrating 20 years

Back in the 1980s a diesel-engined Jaguar was unthinkable, but from about 2004, the best-selling XJ and XF derivatives were diesel powered.

Although unjustified today, a dieselpowered saloon car is very much a dirty word. It is ironic that Jaguar was criticised for being so late to the party when it came to oil burners.

A cautious toe was dipped with the introduction of the X-Type diesel in 2003, its Mondeo-derived platform providing a useful development short cut, but the first all-Jaguar diesel model was the S-Type 2.7D introduced in 2004.

Auto Express tested the S-Type diesel and noted that the mid-range pull was incredible and that high-speed refinement was up there with class leaders such as the BMW 530d. They added that if you spend much time on the motorway, the new diesel’s relaxed cruising ability and incredible torque is preferable to a petrol model – with returns of 40 mpg (7.0 L/100km).

Quite clearly that kind of economy added a whole new dimension to Jaguar ownership and when the unit was installed in the aluminium-bodied X350 XJ in 2005, the smooth and torquey diesel suited the car’s long-legged feel beautifully.

The Diesel Engine- Basic Explanation

Also known as compression ignition, the basic diesel principle was first patented by Rudolph Diesel back in 1893. While retaining the four-stroke cycle, a diesel engine uses the heat of compression to ignite the fuel, unlike the 'Otto' cycle in which petrol is ignited by a spark.

Diesel engines generally require a much stronger cylinder block than petrol engines to cope with the much higher compression ratio, plus a means to provide an initial heat source when starting and a precise method for timing the injection of fuel at high pressure, as that is what determines the point of ignition rather than a distributor, coil and spark plugs

Until recently, most diesel engines consisted of a rigid cast iron block and cylinder head, together with a crankshaft-driven mechanical injection unit to meter the fuel at high pressure to each individual cylinder. Glow plugs protrude into the cylinder and are heated electrically prior to and during the

The AJD-V6 Diesel Engine - Celebrating 20 years

initial start from cold, but from then on the combustion cycle in a basic diesel engine is self-perpetuating — it will run without any electrical assistance whatsoever. In fact, it must be physically stopped by cutting off the fuel supply and closing the throttle butterfly.

With higher levels of compression than in a petrol engine (typically 17-22:1 as against 8-12:1), a diesel engine is even more ideally suited to turbo charging, and it has been the development of the turbo diesel that has helped the compression ignition engine cross over from mainly commercial applications into the passenger car market. However, with the combination of increased power and ever tightening emissions regulations, it has become necessary to include progressively more mechanical and electronic aids. By the mid to late 1990s, the average TDi engine bay had become a complex mass of pipes, levers and cables, in a similar way to how the last carburetted petrol engines appeared before fuel injection came along.

The solution, as with a petrol engine, has been to use electronically switched injectors feeding high pressure fuel (according to a fuel map stored in the car's computer).

It is this method of fuelling, in fact, that gives the common rail turbo diesel its name in reference to the single high pressure fuel rail that replaced the individual pipes running from the metering unit to each cylinder.

The AJD-V6 Structure

The compressed graphite iron (CGI) used for the cylinder block has been around for a long time, but until recently the technology to machine it was expensive. CGI is not only significantly stronger than conventional cast iron, but also more durable.

The greater strength of the CGI compared to conventional cast iron enabled the designers to use less material and consequently get the weight down to just 202kg - just 3kg more than the petrol V6. However, it was claimed that it took the factory eight years to develop suitable machining equipment to handle the harder metal.

Anchored firmly to the crankcase with cross-bolted main bearings is a forged steel crankshaft - the connecting rods are also made from forged steel and are fitted with

cast aluminium pistons which are cooled by oil sprayed from ports in the cylinder walls.

Topping off this advanced metallurgy is a pair of aluminium cylinder heads, more reminiscent of a high-performance petrol engine, each with camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The cam covers are moulded integrally with the inlet manifold and incorporate a port deactivation system which uses flaps to alter the swirl pattern of the incoming compressed air, according to engine load and engine speed.

Finally, to ensure minimum noise transmission, not only is extensive insulation fitted around the engine, but the sump is double-skinned, the cam covers are insulated from the head and dual insulated engine mounts are used, together with a special differential to cushion the increased torque and prevent harshness on acceleration.

Fuel Injection

While a standard petrol engine runs fuel injection pressures somewhere between 30-50psi, the AJD-V6 lifts its fuel pressure to over 23,000 psi. This cannot be done with a conventional electric pump, so a mechanical pump is mounted at the rear of the V, fed by an electric lift pump in the tank.

There is also a third pump, incorporated into the mechanical pump casing to feed it with only as much fuel as is necessary to avoid wasting precious energy pressurising fuel that is not yet needed.

The injectors are also well worth a mention, as they utilise Piezo ceramic shims which distort when electricity is applied; the shims are only wafer thin, so a stack 45mm high is needed to open the nozzle to the required 0.8mm. With a super-fast reaction time, these injectors are able to open and close several times within each combustion cycle to deliver the precise amount of fuel required to control the burn, and produce maximum power with low emissions and minimal noise.

Turbo Charging

The turbocharger is certainly an effective way to increase power, but it does have two big disadvantages. Turbos take time to spin up, causing the dreaded lag, and as they are rigidly coupled to the speed of the exhaust

Inside Jaguars V6 Diesel

Filtered air is drawn in via twin hot wire airflow meters to each turbo, and from those via a T-Junction to the left hand side of an air-to-air intercooler mounted in front of the main radiator. From the intercooler outlet the cooled, compressed air passes through a single throttle body and divides again at the inlet manifolds that are moulded integrally with the cam covers.

The fuel delivery system consists of a high-pressure pump, which raises the diesel to over 23,000 psi. Twin fuel rails and electronically controlled injectors which use Piezo ceramic 'stacks', can open in as little as 0.2 milliseconds and cycle as many as five times during each combustion cycle.

The AJD-V6 Diesel Engine - Celebrating 20 years

gas, they aren't flexible with regard to when the boost is produced (other than a waste gate to limit maximum boost).

This usually causes a sudden surge of power that isn't really suited to a luxury car.

These are the main reasons why supercharging was chosen for Jaguar's performance petrol engines. The AJD-V6, however, has two small turbos that spin up faster than a single large one, and they incorporate electrically

adjustable vanes to direct the exhaust gasses to differing zones on the turbine blades. The result is that they keep the boost level constant across most of the engine range.

There have been some reliability issues with the electric actuators in these turbos requiring replacement units. However, the engines are generally reliable solid units, provided they are regularly serviced, maintained and get regular long runs.

AJD-V6

3.0 Litre

Up-rated to 3 litres in 2009, the V6 diesel would live on in the XF and the X351 XJ where it would in fact become the mainstay power plant in terms of sales volume.

The V6 diesel remained in other JLR products until the firm’s own Ingenium engines were ready in 2015, but in its decade-long production life the AJ diesel allowed Jaguar to leapfrog from catch-up to the front of the class in diesel power. .

The AJD-V6 looks quite simple when it is all pulled apart.

Fast Female Drivers at Bathurst

Editor: With the 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000 this October (10th-13th), it was thought appropriate to run the following story in recognition of female drivers who continue to be overlooked in a male dominated sport. Fast Female Drivers at Bathurst by Brian Goulding for the Australian Motor Heritage Association.

A few years ago, while working for the Australian Racing Drivers Club (ARDC), I received a phone call from a journalist. The bloke was writing a magazine article on female competitors in Bathurst’s Great Race. I suspect he thought we could just press a button and print out a list for him.

We talked about high–profile women drivers like Christine Cole/Gibson, Sue Ransom, Janet Guthrie and Melinda Price. Eventually, we decided that since 1963 there have been 12 or 15 females enter the race. I decided to research the grids to see what the real figure was.

I was surprised to find that no less than 32 women have entered the Bathurst enduro since 1963, with varying degrees of fanfare and success.

1963/64

Australia’s great touring car race came to Bathurst in 1963 (from Phillip Island) and the only woman competitor was regular clubman driver Lorraine Hill in a Morris Major Elite. She finished 35th overall and 16th in class. In 1964 in a Hillman Imp Lorraine finished 49th and 13th in class. That was it for thee years.

1967/68

An all–woman crew tackled the race in 1967 in, of all things, a Morris 1100S, complete with ‘big block’ 1275 engine. Jane Richardson and Midge Whiteman achieved a very respectable fourth in class. They defeated an all-male team in an identical car and remain one of two all-female teams to ever finish the Bathurst race. The second team to finish Bathurst was the next year (1968) when Midge teamed up with Christine Cole in a Mini to score fifth in class.

After marrying Fred Gibson, Christine was to enjoy a long Bathurst career racing under her married name, Christine Gibson, until 1984.

1969

In 1969 Diane Dickson teamed with her husband in a Ford Cortina 240 to score sixth in class and 31st outright. In those days you could still buy a new car, run it in and then take it to race at Bathurst.

Sandra Bennett made her Bathurst debut in that same year (1969) finishing fourth in class driving a Mini K. Two all–female crews failed to finish. Anne Thomson and Carole Corness lasted 82 laps in a Cooper S, while Christine Cole and Lynne Keefe were out when their Fiat 125 crashed on lap 48.

1970

In 1970 Christine Cole and Sandra Bennett scored a fabulous 13th outright in a Torana XU1. This was the best result for a female up to that time and was way ahead of the other 1970 women Lynne Keefe (36th) and the team of Carole Corness/Gloria Taylor (42nd).

1971

In 1971 Pat Peck and Jan Holland drove an XU1 into 29th place, but the next year Holland joined Christine Cole in a Torana 2850 leaving Pat Peck to do the race solo. Both Torana's failed to finish.

1973

For 1973 Pat Peck had sports sedan VW Beetle driver Darrilyn Huitt as co–driver but the Torana only lasted three laps before the engine failed.

Well-known female racer Sue Ransom made her Bathurst debut with Christine Cole in an Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV, but they had fuel problems and only did five laps.

Caroline O’Shanesy teamed with Peter Williamson in a Cooper S but they finished a lowly 26th.

1975

1975 was a great year – the three females entered all finished. Caroline O’Shanessy was 27th in a Cooper S, Sue Ransom 11th in an Escort RS2000 and French girl Marie–Claude Beaumont scored a sensational sixth outright and first in class with John Leffler in an Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV.

Christine Cole, who also raced as Christine Gibson, took part in nine Bathurst 500/1000 races between 1968 and 1984.

Sue Ransom (left) and Christine Gibson were co-drivers in the 1973 Bathurst 1000.

Fast Female Drivers at Bathurst (cont)

1976

The reverse happened in 1976. Three women entered and all did not finish (DNF). Marie–Claude teamed with Christine Gibson but they only lasted 52 laps. This was better than Caroline O’Shanessy who was out by lap 27.

1977

For the 1977 race one of the great female racers, Janet Guthrie, paired up with fellow Indy legend Lone Star JR –otherwise known as Johnny Rutherford –in a Torana A9X. They only lasted 13 laps before JR ran into a bank on the top of

the mountain while the only other female in the race, Sue Ransom, completed insufficient laps to be classified.

1978

Who remembers Robyn Hamilton?

Perhaps you remember her by her assumed name “Charlie”, the result of a sponsorship deal with a perfume distributor. Robyn made her one and only Bathurst appearance in 1978 and along with the only other woman racing that year, Sue Ransom, retired late in the race.

1980

Sue Ransom was back in 1980 for her last Great Race appearance along with debutante Alexandra Surplice who had made a name for herself in production car racing. Both women finished but towards the tail of the field.

1981

Alexandra Surplice tried again in 1981 but the alternator failed on her Celica on lap 88.

In the crash shortened 1981 race Christine Gibson was classified sixth with Joe Moore in his Falcon.

1983

Christine Gibson shared a Nissan Pulsar Exa with Bob Muir in 1983, but the car broke a driveshaft on lap 14.

1984

For the last year of group C, Christine Gibsons was back in the Exa driving with a young guy who had the look of

a future champion, Glenn Seton. This time the driveshaft lasted 76 laps before it broke.

At least Alexandra Surplice could say she finished what would be her last Great Race, albeit in 26th.

1987

There was no female participation in 1985 or 1986, but in 1987 the Great Race was a round of the first World Touring Car Championship. Consequently, we saw world standard women compete.

BMW had two women in their works team: Annette Meeuvissen and Mercedes Stermitz had considerable racing experience in Europe and teaming them together at Bathurst was definitely not just a publicity stunt. They crashed their M3 in practice so badly that the TAFE boys had to source a new body to repair the car. These women didn’t really get a chance to show off their talent as the gearbox failed on lap 45.

International race driver Marie-Claude Beaumont, was sixth outright and B-Class winner at the 1975 Bathurst 1000.

International race driver Janet Guthrie, was robbed of a drive when Indy car legend Johnny Rutherford crashed the Torana A9X into a bank on the top of the mountain.

1990

It wasn’t until 1990 that another woman tackled the mountain. Heather Spurle came from New Zealand to co–drive the Bob Jones VL Commodore. They finished 26th.

1993

In 1993 Tania Gulson entered the race with her father Ray and brother Paul to drive the family BMW 635Csi which had been racing in Group A since 1984. Given Tania’s limited experience, it proved too much of a challenge to qualify in the old car.

1994

1994 was the last Great Race to mix V8s with smaller cars and it was the year that the talented Melinda Price made her debut. Unfortunately, she didn’t even get to drive the Corolla in the race as Co-driver Garry Jones crashed it on lap 16 at Forrest’s Elbow.

1997-1999

In 1997, 1998 and 1999 there were two races each year at Bathurst – one for Super Tourers and one for V8 Supercars. Jenni Thompson ran in all three Super Touring events but only finished in 1999. Heidi O’Neil and Paula Elstrek shared a Ford Mondeo in the 1998 AMP Bathurst 1000, but a tyre failure on lap 78 put them out.

Over at the V8 race (1997 Primus 1000 Classic), Melinda Price and Kerryn Brewer teamed up as all–female Castrol Cougars in 1997 and 1998 to complete the race in a Holden Commodore VS to finish in 12th and 14th place respectively.

Also, in the 1998 V8 Primus 1000 Classic, Nicole Pretty in Holden Commodore VS had to retire due to a failed alternator at about midway through the race.

1999 &2000

Melinda Price continued to compete with male co–drivers in 1999 and 2000 in a Holden Commodore VS to finish 17th and 20th respectively.

2001 & 2009

In the noughties Leanne Ferrier made two appearances in 2001 and 2009 in a a Holden Commodore (VX). A DNF and an 18th place were the results.

2015

In 2015 money from retailer Harvey Norman was used to arrange a drive for two female racers in a Pro Drive Ford Mustang. One was local Super 2 driver Renee Gracie while the other was Swiss/ Italian Simona de Silvestro who had Indycar and other American racing experience. They finished 21st in their Prodrive Racing Australia Ford FG X Falcon a whopping 40 laps behind the winner after a long delay for repairs.

Melinda Price not only raced at Bathurst but three times at Nurburgring (24 Hour).

Paula Elstrek competed with Heidi O'Neil in the 1998 AMP Bathurst 1000, but they retired after a tyre failure and crash.

Nicole Pretty competed in 1998 race but had to retire due to a failed alternator.

Kerryn Brewer teamed up as all–female Castrol Cougars in 1997 and 1998.

Fast Female Drivers at Bathurst (cont)

2016

In 2016 they were both back in a Nissan Motorsport Altima, once again using Harvey Norman money. They enjoyed a much better run. After qualifying 26th they finished 14th in their Nissan Motorsport Altima L33 only two laps behind the winners.

2017 & 2018

In 2017 Simona de Silvestro teamed with local driver David Russell but they failed to finish after completing 152 laps. She was back with Alex Rullo in 2018 and although they were only placed 14th they finished on the same lap as the winner.

2019

2019 was to be Simona’s best result at Bathurst to date. She qualified the Nissan Altima in a creditable 16th spot and with driving partner Rullo they finished 13th only one lap down on the winners.

1923

In 2023 with support from Supercars Australia Simona de Silvestro secured a wildcard entry with Dick Johnson Racing. The category owners wanted female participation and Simona was still one of the best female drivers in the world. Unfortunately, she did not enjoy a great result when teamed with rookie Kai Allen. They finished 20th one lap down on the winner.

Who was the Best

So, who gets my vote for the best result by a female in the Great Race?

No contest. It has to be Marie–Claude Beaumont for that brilliant sixth place outright and first in class in 1975 driving with John Leffler in the Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV.

It is true that Christine Gibson also scored sixth outright in the crash shortened 1981 race. However, that was in an outright class car so less of an achievement than Beaumont’s sixth in the little Alfa.

As for the most Bathurst starts by a female, that award would go to Christine Cole/Gibson with eight ahead of Simona de Silvestro on sixth.

Today, there is only one female driver in top level Australian racing. Renee Gracie, who is competing in the Australian GT Championship, the same driver who partnered Simona de Silvestra in the Bathurst 1000 in 2015 and 2016.

Renee came up through the normal pathway of Formula Ford, Super 3 and Super 2. Her career hit a brick wall after 2016 due to a lack of funds. In the last few years, she has funded her GT racing in an Audi R8 by creating a YouTube channel.

Renee is a talented driver, but like all would be champions, she needs sponsorship to reach the top. .

Leanne Tander (Ferrier) competed in 2001 but failed to finish due to steering problems. In 2009 she finished 1 lap behind the winner.

Renee Gracie competed in the 2015/16 with Italian Simona de Silvestro. They finished 21st and 14th respectfully.

World Swiss-Italian racing driver Simona de Silvestro has competed 6 times at Bathurst with a highest finish of 13th in 2019.

Former Australian D-Type Wins Class At Pebble Beach

The 2024 Annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this year included a commemoration for the 70th year of the Jaguar D-Type. As such there were a number of D-Types present including Ex Australian XKD 526, which won the 'Postwar Sports Racing' Class.

History of XKD 526

Chassis XKD 526 was one of only three D-type Jaguars originally exported to Australia from the factory.

XKD 526 was supplied by Anderson’s Agencies, the Jaguar distributor for Brisbane, owned by Cyril Anderson and his wife, Doris. The Anderson's were part of a consortium that paid £2000 each for a one third share in the car. Bill Pitt and Charles Swinburne were the other members of the original consortium.

The plan was for Pitt, Swinburne and Doris 'Geodie' Anderson to compete with XKD 526; together they had raced a couple of XK120s earlier in the 1950s.

However, Swinburne became seriously ill and sold his share to the other two parties.

The British Racing Green machine was completed by the factory in September 1955 and subsequently tested at the MIRA proving ground.

XKD 526 was then dispatched for Brisbane in mid-October 1955 and landed in late January 1956.

Within a few days of its delivery, Doris Anderson used the car for its maiden outing; she hit 120mph over the flying quarter mile at Strathpine - still in 3rd gear! In March, again at Strathpine, Doris was clocked at 135.2mph over flying quarter, a state record at the time.

Unfortunately, gearbox problems at Lowood race track, Queensland, in April precluded any further competition activity for several months while parts were sourced and repairs carried out.

Bill Pitt then raced XKD 526 for the rest of 1956. He picked up several good

results, but during the season-ending Australian Grand Prix support race at Albert Park, lost control, hit a kerb and rolled the car.

Bill Pitt was thrown clear and miraculously did not sustain any major injuries. The Jaguar was trailered back to Brisbane and repaired over the next few weeks. During this time, the colour was changed to bronze.

Now the car’s sole owner, Pitt continued to race XKD 526 for the next two-and-ahalf years. At the end of 1957, the colour was switched back to green.

Bill Pitt raced XKD526 at various Australian race tracks including Albert Park where he rolled the car.

Former Australian D-Type Wins Class At Pebble Beach

In July 1959, the D-type was purchased by Leaton Motors of Sydney. Leaton Motors had the engine uprated to 3.8-litre specification and the colour changed to pale yellow with a black stripe. It was then raced by one of the company’s salesmen, a young Frank Matich.

Matich, Doug Chivas and Barry Topen all drove the Jaguar over the next few years; in 1961, it was fitted with an aluminium hardtop that enabled it to run as a GT car.

At Sandown in March 1962, Barry Topen crashed and lightly crumpled XKD 526’s nose. That was the end of the D-type’s career and it was subsequently offered for sale in 1963.

The car then went through the hands of Sydney mechanic, Michael Crampton, who in turn sold it to Keith Russell in 1965. Russell ran a panel repair shop in Campsie, a few miles outside Sydney. He repaired the Jaguar’s nose and then repainted the car blue and white. Russell raced it occasionally during 1966 at Catalina, Warwick Farm, Hume Weir and Oran Park.

In 1967 he sold it to Keith & Sandra Berryman (Riverina, NSW). The hardtop was removed and stored. The car was occasionally raced until 1970, and in 1976 it was loaned to lan Cummins to assist with a rebuild of XKD 510.

XKD 526 was also rebuilt by Cummins/ Classic Autocraft. Work included reskinning the monocoque and making a new front frame. A fin was also added to the car. The work was completed in 1982.

XKD 526 Leaves Australia

Keith & Sandra Berryman put the car up for auction in 2015.

The exact history of the car from then on is unclear but went something along these lines: -

▪ In 2015 the car was bought by a British car collector, who brought the D-Type back to the UK and sent it to CKL Developments who carried out a meticulous restoration in time for it to be raced at the 2017 Goodwood Revival.

▪ In late 2017 'Will Stone Historic Cars' UK auctioned the restored car for an undisclosed sum.

▪ At some point the car was sold again, this time by 'Fiskens Fine Historic Automobiles'. Eventually the car ended up in the U.S.A.

▪ In 2023 it was subject to a further comprehensive originalitypreserving restoration in time for the 2024 Pebble Beach Concour. The fin added by Classic Autocraft was removed.

▪ Subsequently XKD 526 was taken to Pebble Beach and shown by Mark Haddawy, Los Angeles, California, who won the 'Postwar Sports Racing' Class (at Pebble Beach Concour).

For the detailed story about XKD 526, a hard-covered book, written by John Elmgreen, is available from Amazon.

Jaguar Ladies Social Group

On Thursday 19th September 20, ladies enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Marryatville Hotel, Kensington Road, Marryatville. A couple of birthdays were celebrated for September, Marj Brindle and Kim Palmer. Happy Birthday ladies, hope you enjoyed your special Day.

I advised the ladies that as a consequence to proposed constitutional amendments our group would be considered to be a Register. This was put to the Executive Committee by Michael Pringle, the President and accepted at the last Executive Meeting on Tuesday 17th September. This will be presented to a Special General Meeting on Tuesday 29th October to be ratified by the membership.

Some weeks ago, I put to the Executive Committee the idea of the Ladies Group having a Jaguar Growler brooch. This was enthusiastically received by the Committee and it was with great pleasure, that I was able to present the ladies with their beautiful diamante brooch at this lunch (as seen in the photo). All the ladies were very excited to receive their brooches. Don’t worry ladies, everyone will receive their brooches in due course. You will need to be a regular attendee of our events.

Our next lunch is on Thursday 21st November, 12.30 pm at the Holdfast Hotel, corner of Pier Street and Brighton Road, opposite Diagonal Road, Glenelg East.
