Talent show • Four-seat V8 grand tourer or two-seat V6 sports car – if you have £25,000 to spend on a car, both are an option. But, which is better? We pitch a late XKR 5.0 against an early F-TYPE 3.0 S to find out

Alternative ending • If you have £25,000 to spend, but want a Jaguar convertible that’s classic rather than the modern XKR and F-TYPE, there’s only one sensible choice: the XJ-S Cabriolet V12. We delve into the car’s history and how much to pay, before driving an immaculate example

Family favourite • When David Gedge took over his father’s business he chose to update the company Zodiac with a 3.8 S-type that, 55 years later, is still in the same family

Night rider • The S-TYPE’s 2004 facelift gave the saloon a darker, more menacing look. We take an early 2.5-litre example for a night-time drive to explain its virtues and investigate the model’s history

Where Eagles dare • The Lightweight GT is the latest offering from E-type specialist Eagle. We explore its nooks and crannies before driving an example ourselves

PRESENT COMPANY • In 1997, Jaguar’s then chairman bought a late Daimler Double-Six Series 3 for his wife, Ros. We head to Sir Nick Scheele’s family home where his long-serving chauffeur introduces us to the special low-mileage car he continued to maintain for the family after Sir Nick’s death

BACK ISSUES

2000 XK8 4.0 • A week after Paul considers swapping his XK8 for a Porsche Boxster, he has the opportunity to compare the two for a twin test in Classic CarMart

1995 XJ6 3.2 Sport • Six months after Craig has a new wing fitted to his XJ6, it’s finally painted. Although he’s happy the car is one colour, the match isn’t consistent

1966 E-type OTS • With the open E-type easier to get out of the garage than the coupe, Jim and wife Karen have been enjoying exploring beautiful locations close to home

Repairing an accident-damaged XF • Eurojag completes the rebuild of its 2014 XF 2.2d
