Jthe driving route by five new Jaguar F-TYPE sports cars.Jaguar Regional Director for Europe Bernard Kuhnt – who drove with Hannah Herzsprung in the event - said: “Jaguar’s 1952 entry into the Mille Miglia was hugely significant in the evolution of Jaguar products. Seductive design, intelligent performance and technological innovation were features of all Jaguar sports cars in the 1950s and 60s and they are prevalent in the incredible new FTYPE. I am delighted that the Jaguar sports car ‘bloodline’ was together in this great race and that such an exciting list of individuals came together to celebrate the occasion and drove our cars.”Jaguar has curated a unique team of drivers for its Jaguar Heritage Racing entry into this year’s Mille Miglia classic car tour. The seats of outstanding examples of Jaguar C-Type and XK120 heritage race cars were taken by six-time Olympic cycling Champion Sir Chris Hoy, global supermodel David Gandy, Le Mans 24 Hours race winner Andy Wallace, Chairman & CEO of 20th Century Fox Jim Gianopulos – who drove with a film industry colleague, German actress Hannah Herzsprung, Italian Salvatore Ferragamo Jr., fashion icon Yasmin Le Bon and Michael Quinn, the grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons.
This exciting list of classic car enthusiasts was led by Jaguar Heritage Racing’s own mul-
tiple race winner Alex Buncombe and motoring journalist Chris Harris, who linked up for the event in a Jaguar C-Type once owned by former Formula 1 Champion Juan Manuel Fangio.
The Mille Miglia is the pinnacle of classic motorsport, and the competitive event in 1952 saw Jaguar debut the disc brake on its C-type sports car, piloted then by Jaguar Chief Development Engineer Norman Dewis and Formula 1 legend Sir Stirling Moss. Norman Dewis was with some of the 2013 Jaguar Heritage Racing team at Goodwood Motor Circuit.
The line-up of three C-Type race cars and three XK12Os was followed on the majority of the driving route by five new Jaguar F-TYPE sports cars.
