Jaguars in approximately 1/64 scale.

MATCHBOX SHOW STOPPERS

In 1992, Matchbox introduced a series of six different sets called SHOW STOPPERS.

The JAGUAR set contained a unique colour pair of the Jaguar XJ-6 and the Jaguar XJ-220.

Just got back fro my local Walmart with two 2022 Matchbox Jaguars.

First is the 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe in the 2022 MATCHBOX COLLECTORS series, No.04 of 20.

 Second is the 1946 Jaguar XK-140, No. 1 of 12 in the 2022 UK series.

This one looks like a repeat of the 2019 British Racing Green standard issue in a new more expensive packaging. 

MATCHBOX MATCHMATES.

In 1983, Matchbox issued a special series with pairs of cars from several makes.

This is the Jaguar one featuring the Jaguar XK-120 and the Jaguar SS100.

 Not the best pictures as the cars are still in the package.

In the EARLY MATCHBOX Posts I have reached the first Jaguar model made by Lesney/Matchbox. Here it is repeated with a few changes.

28-C, Jaguar Mark 10,  1/72 scale. Introduced 1964, discontinued 1968.

This light brown with white interior Jaguar initially came with grey plastic wheels changing during the first year to black. The bonnet opens to display the XK engine.

Oxford Die-Cast continues to release more Jaguars in 1/76 scale. Here are some current issues.

These Oxford Diecast cars look nice. My favorites are the D-types.

SIKU Jaguar S Type 4 Litre V8  (1376)

This is a Siku of Germany exclusive model for Bornelund for their 20th Anniversary in 2001. It has 2001 and Bornelund lettering on each front door. 

BorneLund is a Tokyo, Japan based store that opened in 1981 specializing in educational toys. They have expanded over the years to about 100 stores.

This model was sold only through BordeLund and is quite rare. I acquired it as part of a Jaguar collection recently.

I also have the HW Jaguar set.   I wish HW would produce more upscale 1/64 sets like it.

Matchbox 2023 Collectors 1954 Jaguar D-Type #6

Here is the newest 70th Anniversary of Matchbox Jaguar D-Type that I picked up yesterday ar Walmart.

It is still in the original bubble pack until I get a second one. Note that a box comes with it.

This is the only Jaguar in the 49 Matchbox models put out for the 70th Anniversary.

Like the MGB, the Jaguar looks good.

Inno64 Jaguar XJ-S #7 JPS Macau Guia Race

1984 Winner. Tom Walkinshaw developed this racing Jaguar which was driven to victory by Win Percy and  Martin Brundle

This is a relatively new manufacturer out of China making some excellent Jaguar models. I will show a few more shortly.

From 1981 to 1984, TWR built seven Group A Jaguar XJS race cars with this car being chassis TWR JC 84A005.

The car made its competition debut in 1984 at Zolder where it was driven by Win Percy and Chuck Nicholson, with a 3rd on the grid. Next up was Mugello where 005 was on pole with Percy and Formula 1 driver and future Jaguar Le Mans winner, Martin Brundle.

Unfortunately a puncture would rob them of victory. Jaguar were happy though as TWR had taken them to the 1984 ETCC crown, beating the best from the Austin Rover, BMW, Volvo and Alfa Romeo factory teams. 

Shortly after Mugello, the car was re-painted in the famous John Player Special black and gold livery and shipped to Macau where Martin Brundle and Win Percy took the car to victory in the Group A ‘Guia’ race supporting the famous annual Macau GP for Formula 3 cars.

INNO64 1/64 Die-Cast Car - Jaguar XJ-S #12 "TWR RACING" ETCC Spa-Francorchamps

In 1982 TWR Racing (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) had entered a team of the V12 XJS' into the European Touring Car Championship, the cars built to the FIA's Group A touring car rules.

The XJS won its first race that season when Walkinshaw and Chuck Nicholson won the XIV Grand Prix Brno, the cars simply proving too fast for their rival BMW 530/530i and Alfa Romeo GTV6 opposition with Walkinshaw qualifying 5.37 seconds faster than anyone else on the 10.925 km (6.789 mi) Brno Circuit.

After more victories for the team's Jaguars in 1983 (including lapping the 20.81 km (12.93 mi) Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in 7:56.00), the TWR Jaguars were the cars to beat in the ETCC, with Walkinshaw claiming the 1984 ETCC Drivers' Championship.

During the championship season the TWR Jaguar team also won the prestigious Spa 24 Hours race with the XJS shown below, No.12 driven by Walkinshaw, Hans Heyer and Win Percy, proving not only the speed of the cars but the reliability of the 5.3 litre V12 engine.

By the end of 1984 the TWR developed V12 engines in the XJS were rated at approximately 336 kW (451 hp).

That is a very nice looking model.
