They have been prepared for test driving after Jaguar recently purchased more than 500 British heritage cars from a private collector.Speaking about the experience, Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations managing director John Edwards said: “This is the first experiential offering from our new division and is the first time in Jaguar\u2019s history that we have made a collection of vehicles of this calibre available for \u2018arrive and drive\u2019 experiences. It\u2019s an extremely exciting new project that underscores the very essence of what Special Operations is all about \u2013 celebrating heritage with our eyes firmly on the future.\u201dThere will be a variety of driving packages available at a variety of prices. They will let drivers try out a particular era of vehicles or cover a variety of points in Jaguar’s history.The first visitors to Jaguar Heritage Experience days will also be given the opportunity to see the Perfect Ten exhibition. It will be installed at Fen End for some time following on from its recent launch at Earls Court London at the Jaguar XE reveal.The display includes Jaguars that were chosen by a distinguished panel and features the incredibly rare SS100 and one of a kind XJ13.If you want to take home some merchandise, there will also be an outlet for this at Fen End. Among the items that will be available to buy is the Heritage ’57 Collection."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Jaguar invites people to drive heritage vehicles","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/jaguar-invites-people-drive-heritage-vehicles\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
