This 1965 S Type Jaguar was converted to a club race car in the early 1980s to compete in the Jaguar Drivers Club pre 1968 Saloon Car series. It was built by Ray Ingman & Dick Bradley and later featured on the children's television programme Blue Peter so the car became known as the 'Blue Peter Car'.

Sold in the late 1980s to Colin Thatcher and then purchased by our vendor in 1991, it was raced with the JDC and Jaguar Club up until 1995, when it was restored by the vendor to race with the JEC Saloon Car Challenge. The car was later brought up to specification to race in the Top Hat Series and the HSCC Historic Saloon Register where it competed well, with it's last race being April 2010 at Cadwell Park.

This S Type has raced at all the major circuits in the UK and Ireland, the Isle of Man and around Europe, including Spa, Hockenheimring and Nurburgring. It has competed successfully on road and track, whilst also being involved in hill climb and sprint events. The car was invited to compete in a support race to the 2008 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The car always attracts a lot of attention and interest as well as having many class wins to its credit notably it was the overall Class A winner in the 2006 HSCC & HRSR whilst being 3rd overall in the championship.

Also included is a spares package, including complete set of wheels and 1no. gas flowed 2 carburettor inlet manifold and other various parts.
