Every Jaguar deserves a proper name. 🥂

So, in honour of Name Your Car Day, we’re taking a little inspiration from the traditional boat-naming ceremony. A bottle of ch*****ne, a Jaguar worthy of a name, and one very important question...

What would you name yours?

Whether it’s already got a name, a nickname that’s stuck over the years, or you’ve never got around to it, today seems like the perfect excuse.

The right wheels do more than complete the look of a Jaguar. They change the way the whole car comes across.

It's often the small details that make the difference. The correct centre badge, the finish of the wheel, or simply knowing everything underneath is as it should be.

Whether you're replacing a single component or refreshing the entire setup, SNG Barratt stocks a comprehensive range of wheels, braking, suspension, and wheel accessories for classic and modern Jaguar models.

Behind the cage lives a beast. 🐆

This Jaguar S-Type R advert has been sitting on our marketing team's desktop for too long, and it needs to be released from its 'cage'. To us, this is peak 2000s automotive advertising: big photography and big headlines with no filler information. Bold and slightly irreverent.

So what did Jaguar choose to show? The mesh grille of the brand-new S-Type R. Combine this with the iconic leaping Jaguar, and it gives the impression of looking into a cage at the zoo, with the headline acting almost like a sign telling you what’s waiting inside.

There’s no need to show the whole car when one look at the front is enough to suggest what’s underneath.

The S-Type R brought a much more serious performance character to Jaguar’s executive saloon range, combining the comfort and refinement expected of a Jaguar with the hardware and power to make it genuinely quick.

That's what makes the S-Type R so interesting; it doesn’t look like a conventional performance car. Park one alongside more overtly sporting machinery and it appears understated. But press the throttle and the character changes rather quickly!

An excellent example of Jaguar advertising from an era when a single image and a few well-chosen words could say quite a lot.

What do you remember about the Jaguar S-Type R?

Enzo Ferrari reportedly called the Jaguar E-Type “the most beautiful car ever made”.

Coming from a man who spent his life surrounded by some of the most famous sports cars ever built, that’s no small compliment.

As Jaguar fans, it is easy to see why the E-Type made such an impression. The long bonnet, low nose, flowing rear end and beautifully simple proportions gave it a presence that still turns heads decades later. When it was unveiled in 1961, it looked like something from the future, yet underneath was proven Jaguar engineering derived from the D-Type.

It’s a car that's become almost inseparable from the idea of British sports car design.

But beauty is subjective...

Do you agree with Ferrari, or is there another Jaguar you'd put above the E-Type?

Lucas Classic: a Jaguar essential

Lucas has been part of the Jaguar story for decades, supplying the electrical components found in many of the marque's most iconic cars.

From lighting and bulbs to ignition components and switches, Lucas Classic continues that heritage with quality replacement parts that reflect the original specification.

SNG Barratt stocks a range of authentic Lucas Classic parts for Jaguar, combining proven designs and quality components to keep your car's electrics working as they should.

What's the last electrical job you tackled on your Jaguar?

Every business starts somewhere. Ours started with boot springs and exhaust manifolds, the very first parts we ever retooled when nobody else would.

Decades later, those same parts are still on our shelves. Still made the same way. Still keeping the same cars on the road.

Some things don't need reinventing.

Jaguars On Screen 🎬 | Emma Peel & the E-Type

Did you know a Jaguar E-Type shared the screen with Uma Thurman’s Emma Peel in The Avengers?

The 1998 film brought the classic British spy series to the big screen, with Thurman taking on the role made famous by Diana Rigg and alongside her was a car equally at home in the world of espionage: the Jaguar E-Type.

It was a fitting choice for Emma Peel: sleek, unmistakably British and with more than enough presence to stand out in a film full of eccentric characters and gadgets.

The E-Type has appeared in plenty of films and TV shows over the years, but which Jaguar do you think has made the best on-screen appearance? 👇

Staff Picks | David Adlington – Head of Product, Jaguar

Every fortnight, we'll be asking members of the SNG Barratt team one simple question:
If you could own any Jaguar, which one would you choose... and why?

"The XK120 OTS is my favourite Jaguar, hands down!

Every curve on that body looks sculpted rather than engineered. It looks like it's speeding through the air even when parked up. Sixty-odd years on, it's proof that great design does not age."

Do you agree with David's choice, or would your dream Jaguar be something completely different?

A glimpse behind the scenes at Browns Lane in the 1960s.

With Series 1 E-Type roadsters moving along the production line, this photograph captures the Jaguar in the process of becoming one of the most recognisable British sports cars ever built!

There’s something special about seeing these cars not as finished icons, but as they would have appeared to the people building them every day in Coventry.

Decades later, the E-Type remains a car worth preserving. At SNG Barratt, we’re proud to play our part in keeping these Jaguars on the road for the next generation of enthusiasts.

Today we're looking back on this year's Lucas Classic at Shelsley Walsh. The event had a great turnout of Jaguars and Daimlers on the hillclimb, plenty going on in the paddocks, and the Spitfire flypast stealing the show as usual!

Planning for Lucas Classic 2027 is already underway, so watch this space for dates and details as they're confirmed.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by this year; see you at the next one...
