LETTER OF THE MONTH Following my recent trip to The Gambia, I thought I’d send you an image of a Jaguar S-TYPE I saw while passing through Serekunda, the country’s largest urban area that sits on the Atlantic Coast. With most of the other cars I saw in my time in the country being either Mercedes-Benz or Japanese SUVs, the black saloon took me by surprise and looked more out of place than a pork chop in a vegan restaurant. Although I didn’t have time for a close inspection, the car didn’t look to have coped with the country’s hot and dusty conditions well and it clearly wasn’t in the greatest shape. Yet it was heartening to know even out there, 3,700 miles from Coventry, there was at least one enthusiast brave enough to drive a Jaguar in these harshest of conditions. Larry Smith
No less interesting The Spring 2022 issue of Jaguar World that marked the centenaryy of Jaguar was a masterful piece of publishing, covering all bases of the company’s 100 years. I especially liked the biographies of nin ne important peop ple and could easilyy havve read nine more!
I also liked the E-type and DB6 twin testt [p6 64], two cars I wiill never, sad dly, gett to buy myself but that made the artticle no less interesting. And sorry to read Paul Walton is sufferin ng my issues with his XF Sportbrake [p120]. I had a similar car for a few years and sim milar problems,, finallyy sellingg it in
2018 for – whisper it – a Honda SUV wh hich h (fingers cro ossed d) has been bulllett proof so far. Jaguaar certainly needs to improve its reliability if it’s to reach another 100 yearss! Congratulationss to all the team for such a great magazine and keep up the good work. John Chap pman
