New year, new anniversaries
A year of important anniversaries lies ahead for the Jaguar community, with enthusiasts of a variety of different models likely to be celebrating in 2025 including the Mk1, MkVII, and XJ Coupe. The biggest birthday of all, however, is sure to be the golden anniversary of the XJ-S, which was officially unveiled in September 1975.
