Classic Jaguar XK120S to gather at Shelsley Walsh and aim to set a world record

The 70th anniversary of the Jaguar XK120 will be celebrated at Shelsley Walsh by the XK70 Jaguar Festival over the weekend of June 9/10.

As well as a huge number of XK120S and subsequent models, some important race cars will also be on hand and some will be driven at speed up the historic 1000-yard Worcestershire hillclimb course.

Feature cars include the TWR XJ220C driven by David Coulthard, David Brabham and John Nielsen at Le Mans in 1993 and the 1987 World Sportscar Championship-winning XJR-8. Justin Law and Chris Ward will drive the race cars up the hill.

The organising XK Club is aiming to set a world record by gathering 700 classic XKS together.
