While Tim is clearly proud of the two continuity models, it is evident that the vision for Jaguar Classic is far larger and much more long term than these two projects.

Indeed, Tim makes it clear that Jaguar Land Rover Classic's aim is far more wide-ranging in appeal than a limited number of million-pound sports cars.

“It is not just cars though that we are working on, traditionally Jaguar has never been able to deliver on the supply of parts in the way we would want it to. If we are going to be able to restore Jaguars of history and have faith in our technicians then we need to supply them with parts that we have an equal amount of faith in too, but this is not an overnight solution, it will take time.”

The ambition of Jagaur Land Rover Classic is impressive, and the strides that have been made in recent years is remarkable. The company has lead the way in terms of 'continuity' cars, with Aston Martin now imitating and surely more to follow.

If JLR Classic can make a meaningful difference to the supply and quality of parts for all historic Jaguars however, and offer a good-as-new restoration service, Tim will surely have done something remarkable.
