Sniff Petrol (I’ll give you a second or two to pause and think about that name before we continue…) have written up a report of sorts, after driving the F-Pace for a week. As expected, it’s not your average new car review.

See the D-Type legends at Hampton Court Palace
On September 1st – 3rd, 2017, no less than five legendary D-Types will be on display at the Hampton Court Palace grounds, for the sixth Concours of Elegance event. You’ll also be able to view the equally legendary XJR-9 racer up close and personal as well.
The occasion for this gathering of Ds, is the 60th anniversary of Jaguar’s impressive 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 finish at the 1957 Le Mans 24 Hours race.
You can read more about the cars over at Sports Car Digest, and you can read all about the event at the official Concourse of Elegance site.
