Whitley, Coventry, 28th September 2018: A unique convoy representing the past and present of the #Jaguar #XJ will journey from the #Jaguar Castle Bromwich plant in the UK to the Paris Motor Show to celebrate 50 years of the flagship luxury saloon.

The line-up will feature all eight generations of #XJ produced since 1968. The special collection will be led by the car that started it all, the Series I, and finish with the most recent XJ50 special edition, which was revealed earlier this year. The convoy will also include significant models such as the Series II Coupé and X350 XJR.

Journey’s end for the convoy is the Paris Motor Show, where the #Jaguar #XJ Series I made its debut in 1968.
