Normally at Goodwood this rather special Mk1 Jaguar would be sliding all over the place in the most outrageous way... not here though. For the 2004 edition of St Mary's Trophy Part 2 Grant Williams held this awesome Jag relatively steady as he plowed through the opposition including one Rowan Atkinson!

As a 10-year-old boy growing up in a small town in Ontario, Canada, I wondered why my Dad's Jaguar Mk 2 got so much attention. Probably because it was the only Jag within 100 miles. My Dad never drove fast with me on board except for one time, on the twisty river road en route to our summer cottage. This enormous Mercury sedan planted itself on our rear bumper and tailgated us mercilessly -- the driver wanted to race. After a minute or so my Dad said, "To hell with this!" and downshifted. The following couple of minutes were sheer exhilaration as the Mercury dropped out of sight and that compact Jaguar sedan glided through the corners, never crossing the centerline, like the thoroughbred it was. I'm retired now and have owned four Jaguars.

Jaguar Mk 2 is smaller than a Mercury sedan for sure but I'm not sure the word 'compact' springs to mind about the MK2.

Jag MK1 & MKII were highly underrated as performance cars in the US. I raced a MKII in the '60s both at the drag strip & autocrosses. I gave up the drag racing as it got boring, winning every week. They pitted me against a Shelby GT500 in an autocross. Only lost by a couple of tenths. BTW, I finally traded the old girl for a Corvette to go racing in SCCA.

Hahaha A35 Had one once Didn't think I would see the day one would take a checkered flag unless there was a whole field of A35s Also remembering the Great Peter Brock's A35 . Not standard. Well done you guys for keeping the old gear going and racing 👍😎

@luigidesoto7120 3 года назад

Peter Brock's Diamond Valley Speed Shop "A30" (we got the A30 in Australia, not the A35) was a "silhouette racer" - being a spaceframe powered by a big-horsepower Holden 179 cu in straight six. With the short wheelbase and ultra low weight, only Peter Perfect's preternatural skills could "keep it on the island". Vale Peter who died a few days after the long-haul flight back to Australia after racing an "FX" at Goodwood Revival over a hectic weekend.

The A series engine came out in the A30 later in the Morris Minor is the same in the cooper s as in 1275 MG Miget just different crankshaft flange at the clutch. I expect they use Morris Major diffs as A30 axles were weak

@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 2 года назад

I need an explanation of how a 1700 pound car that has an engine with a stock hp rating of 78hp could possibly outrun that Jaguar. Even if somehow an engine with only THREE main bearings could make 140 hp reliably which would be nearly DOUBLE the factory stock high performance horsepower rating I still cannot see it overpowering that Jaguar that should have around 315 hp or so......maybe a bit more either way easily more than DOUBLE the horsepower a 77 cubic inch high performance A+ A35 engine could make with racing modifications.
