JAGUAR ON TOUR 1958 JAGUAR 3.4-LITRE SALOON
Did you know that according to the internet TOX 1 is an android TV box. In the interests of research I read several reviews, although was subsequently no wiser as to what its function really is. The only word I recognised was video. However, there is another, rather older and somewhat more analogue TOX 1; a 1958 Jaguar 3.4-litre saloon that resides in the vehicle collection of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT) and something far more suitable for the content of this comfortingly antediluvian publication!
Having said that, the viewers of the digital TOX 1 may well mistake this car for the one in a period television series, where a younger ‘Inspector’ Morse drives a similarly black Jaguar on his crime solving endeavours. The series is indeed named Endeavour, although these two cars could not be more different. The TV car is right-hand drive, fitted with the 2.4-litre engine, manual gearbox and rides on steel wheels. TOX (as it affectionately known) is left-hand drive, has the larger engine, automatic transmission and wire wheels. An interesting link though is that both cars have been comprehensively restored, the processes being documented in each case for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club (JEC) magazine.
