Jaguar Classic Experience Tour

[Carole Simpson-Hadley]

What a day Thursday was!     Myself and significant other were booked up for the new JLR Classic Experience Tour at the JLR Classic centre at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, near Coventry.  We attended on only the second day of holding the tour, and what a great experience.

Just short of 3 hours duration, covering the entire E-type Reborn project including the donor cars, the XK SS project including close up of car number three under build, the Land-Rover Series 1 and RangeRover Reborn project, the XJ220 servicing area (tyres at £5000 per set!!), and various other Jaguar models in for rebuild, repair, updating etc.     Not to mention the Jaguar Collection hall where most of the collection is on view, stored on racks at present (remember the large collection bought by JLR from a dental surgeon).

The technicians etc working within the facility are happy to interact, and the whole affair is quite relaxed.

Still dribbling!!!!

Well worth the £49 per head cost and easily bookable through the Jaguar Experience website.....we shall be going again, as there is always something new to see, apparently.

Extremely happy growling

Sounds very interesting, Carole.

At the moment we are doing various  tasks in the house  --  Painting window frames, dealing with gardening matters, and fitting new kitchen worktops prior to paint the whole kitchen. Pleasure come second occasionally.

Forgot to mention, cameras not permitted due to high profile customers' cars being present.   Minor problem.

Can't wait for our return trip, although we now know that XJ220 is well and truly out of reach, as if we didn't already know!!

The booking e-mail tells you, but do be aware that this Experience is NOT at Castle Bromwich, Solihull or Browns Lane.........it is at the ProLogis Park on the sight of the old Chrysler-Peugeot works just past Coventry Airport.

Happy growling but do forget your cheque book!!  E-type Reborn comes in at about £250,000 to £280,000 including the donor car. Ouch.
