Historic Jaguars to go on display at Monterey Motorsports Reunion
Submitted under: Motorsports, Classics, Jaguar
Earlier this calendar year the Monterey Motorsports Reunion announced that Jaguar would be the highlighted marque for the 2011 celebration. Dozens of Jags will be showcased in a lot of of the races, including the C-Type, which will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of its get at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as the XK120, D-Sort and E-Type.
In addition to the automobiles on track, the Monterey Motorsports Reunion will display a collection of historical Jaguars in the paddock. Maybe the most notable case in point will be the 1950 Jaguar XK120 that Phil Hill drove to victory at the quite first Pebble Beach Road Race, an function that later on relocated to Laguna Seca and advanced into present day Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Also on display will be a 1951 C-Form (yet again, driven by Phil Hill), an SCCA championship-successful 1974 E-Kind, a 1978 Trans-Am XJS and the XJR-9 race automobile that won Le Mans outright in 1988. We’ll have photos of the vehicles during our live coverage of Monterey Auto Week subsequent month, but until finally then ,get pleasure from the gallery below or study a lot more about the gathering of historic Jaguars soon after the jump.
