What Can I Expect
The Best of British drives! When you think of British coupés, two marques of car immediately spring to mind: Jaguar and Aston Martin. Little wonder then, that this driving session will see you getting behind the wheel of an E-Type Jaguar and an Aston Martin DB9. Both fabulous coupés that are truly an honour to drive.
This Aston Martin vs Jaguar experience is a friendly duel. One is a modern day masterpiece of automotive design, style and build, whilst the other is an much-loved absolute classic.. Both epitomise the best of the British car industry and more specifically, sporty British drives.
The Jaguar E-Type was in production during the late 1960s and early 1970s, the heyday of the true coupé car. Technically, to be a coupé it has to be a fixed-roof car with just two doors and two seats. No room for passengers or loads of luggage, these cars were all about looks and speed. Indeed, the E-Type is a proper British coupé in the purest sense of the word. That huge long bonnet, those smooth body curves, the distinctive 'mouth' grill at the front…unmistakably a Jaguar.
The Aston Martin, on the other hand, reflects the modern motoring industry's take on what is a coupé. Apparently you can now have four door coupés, which means '2+2' seating, as they call it. The rear seats are really just a nod to family life and passengers, as they are teeny tiny. So it's still very much the spirit of these models that makes these cars coupés. For the Aston, it's all about the inimitable British understated styling, the low rear roof and the overall perception of luxury and sporting prowess that denotes a coupé.
But enough of the discussion as to what makes a coupé. You will be driving two British shining stars of the motoring world on this experience. The Grand Tourer glamour of the DB9 coupé from the Aston Martin stable, versus the gleaming series 2 Jaguar E-Type classic coupé.
On these best of British drives you'll be at the helm for 12 miles in total, so it's going to be a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other. And believe us, despite the age gap, these two British Coupés are a match made in heaven.
