Jaguar XJS – Spa 24Hrs 1982 – Walkinshaw, Nicholson & Percy
The TWR ran Jaguar XJS were a staple of early 1980s touring car racing, despite the couple only very slightly fitting the description of a touring car! Some of the cars’ most notable successes came in endurance races, not least the 24 hours of Spa Francochamps. Here in 1982, the big Jaguars scored a fantastic pole position, but the car was sadly retired due to accident damage and the race was won by a rival division 3 BMW. But the Motul, backed black Jaguars, certainly looked the part and the cars have cemented a place in racing history ever since. Available for the first time from Scalextric, this new tool Jaguar is a sure-fire winner in any touring car race at your local circuit or at home.
