Gallery: Classic Jaguars wow the crowds at Coventry Motorfest
An incredible fleet of Jaguar sports and race cars worth in more than £40m were on show in Coventry at the weekend.
Heritage racers led by the 1988 Le Mans 24 Hour-winning Jaguar XJR-9LM opened this year’s annual MotoFest event, which took place 29-31 May.
This year’s event saw the Coventry ring road closed to public use in order to host a number of live motorsport activities, with Jaguar taking the chance to show off some of the most iconic race and road cars from its 80-year history.

Jaguar XJR-9LM
Winner of Le Mans 24 Hours in 1988, the XJR-9LM was driven once again by racer Andy Wallace. He said, 'It’s wonderful to be here at the Coventry MotoFest celebrating 80 years of the Jaguar brand, and even more wonderful to be driving the car I won the Le Mans 24 Hours in 27 years ago. It seems just like yesterday actually, but every time you get back in the old girl it’s just a wonderful feeling. What an amazing racing car.'
