called british icons

and the jaguars kate is featured in that

the particular magazine it’s a one-off

magazine it’s

98 pages long built up

out of 12 sections and i’m literally

going to flick

through the magazine to give you a feel

for what’s the contents

and uh to encourage you to buy it to be

honest because if you’re an xk8

enthusiast like myself

love reading about the car and the

history etc

elbow

okay so literally i’m going to flick

through the the whole magazine

there’s lots of glossy pages um

starting at the contents page you can

see the 12

sections or articles whatever you like

to say

detailing various aspects of the xk and

comparisons with different models

the first section then is x caked design

history

uh former jaguar designer nick hall

looks at xk’s design gestation from

early drawings

through to its later updates then we

have an early xk8

and supposedly was a paris show but a

bit dodgy that to be honest

then we have the comparison with the uh

the earlier xjs that uh

it basically um replaced

then we have a comparison at the end of

that

of the different performance

this article then compares the what it

calls the four different models

available basically two engine options

four liters four point two and

convertible

and coupe although there’s actually six

if not an infinite number of

different jaguar xkhz then we have blood

brothers basically the

comparison between the aston martin db7

3.2 which is uh out just before it

next section that is our article is

silver star basically that’s the

details of jaguar silverstone all the

specs and the history

then this future perfect is actually

section basically detailing a guy

so take it basically

what do you believe the car would have

been if it carried on manufacturer after

2006

it’s a very nice looking car though very

interesting um

engine strut there the later

xj allies on that car which make it look

quite unusual

then it has an article called size

matters which compares it with the

f-type

which is interesting basically

i think the not as much room is the

basic conclusion of that article then we

have

rode king which basically uh somebody

taking his

xk out and the brecon beacons why not

lovely scenery

lovely roads then orange appeal

is basically a track or a race

xk8 that actually takes part in the uh

club saloon and gt championships then

towards the end there’s the xk8 survival

guy which is particularly interesting if

you’ve got an xk

or you’re looking to buy one and

interested in you’re cost of replacing

various items when you do have problems

if you’re unlucky enough to have

problems but bear in mind that these

cars are 20 25 years old so you’re gonna

get them

what was interesting was the common

repairs

uh the top six common repairs that one

uh neem jag specialists but bro

obviously

corrosion front subframe mouse

and you basically if you tick all six

you’re doing well i could i think

oh my god then finally we’ve got step

forward which then reviews the

outgoing xk to the new x150

alum aluminium

xk as you were so lots of

lovely photographs very nice magazine

very glossy good quality

there you go that’s the magazine

basically flick through colour to cover

to cover

i’ll say that’s the um

the book number but i will show you how

to

get yourself a copy of the magazine at

the end

so there you go a bit of a summary you

it’s uh

it’s a really good guide got the design

history the range detail

concise buying guide limited editions

and modified specials

covers all the bases you know there’s

quite quite lots of interesting reading

if you want to get yourself a copy this

is the way i did

basically logged on to www.kelsey.com.uk

you can buy a subscription for british

icons

for the series of magazines of different

articles

of different models but i was only

interested in jaguar xkr

r and that was 8.99 uh
