Jaguar’s new C-Type

I have a friend who wants to have seven luxury cars, one for each day of the week. If his garages aren’t filled up yet, he might want to reserve a spot for the Jaguar C-Type that is coming back to compete with the Porsche Boxster and BMW ZZ4 and Mercedes SLK. India’s Tata Motors, the new owner of Jaguar wants to expand the Jaguar’s range. The roadster market is calling! XF styling, bold mesh grille, LED headlights, slim tail lights, bonnet power bulge and engines from entry-level 235hp 3.0l V6 to 380hp 5.0l V8. Add to that a 6-speed automatic and wheel-mounter paddles. And only - £40,000. I’ll take two of them.
