The year 2010 marks the 75^th anniversary for Jaguar and while a some of us already know that, Jaguar plans to celebrate the glorious 75 years and looking forward for brighter future.

Mike O’Driscoll, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars, said: “In 2010 we celebrate our past, and 75 years of designing and building cars that celebrate the art of automobile making. We’re also celebrating the promise of the future, and the introduction of the all-new XJ. In just three years we’ve completely revitalized the Jaguar line-up with the launch of three beautiful fast cars”.

The new 2011 XJ is charged with a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 and is already making quite a statement. Jaguar claims that the new XJ will go be available in dealerships in the US by next month.

Along with this Jag also plans to continue the celebration by entering a fleet on cars at the 2010 Mille Miglia revival event.

The Mille Miglia is a highly celebrated iconic race that demonstrates the original rally route through the Italian countryside even though it’s not exactly a current day racing event. All the big names including Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Maserati have been participating in this event but this year Jaguar plans to go flat out with an impressive line-up.

The company is represented by a total of 27 vehicles from around the world, including an impressive ‘works team’ of classic XK120, C-type and D-type models supported by Jaguar Cars and the Jaguar Heritage Trust.

Jaguar’s strong representation at the 2010 Mille Miglia builds on a long connection with the race.  Back in 1950, the company fielded a four-strong team of XK120s, and a young Stirling Moss took the wheel of a works car the following year.

“The Mille Miglia is one of the world’s premier driving events, and one where Jaguar has always felt very much at home,” said Mike O’Driscoll, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars, who will be piloting one of the famous C-type racers in this year’s competition.

“Our association stretches back to the 1950s, when XK120 and XK140s were a regular sight and C-types and even a D-type also competed.  This year I am proud to see another very strong contingent of classic Jaguars.” he added.

The 2010 Mille Miglia takes place over a 1000-mile course starting from Brescia in northern Italy, mirroring the classic event, which became synonymous with legendary displays of driving skill and bravery between 1927 and 1957.

“2010 marks the 75th anniversary of the Jaguar name, and 75 years of looking forward, designing and building cars that represent the very best of technical innovation, design leadership and sporting success,” explained O’Driscoll.
