SO OFTEN in the world of Jaguars and Jaguar owners it’s the impressions from early childhood which have formed an attachment to the marque and Verona-based Kenrick Briffa is no exception.
Growing up in Malta where his father’s work had taken the family, he recalls living close to the island’s British High Commission and being enthralled by the streams of Jaguar cars ferrying assorted local dignitaries in and out of the gates.
This being the late 1960s, the cars included 420G, Mk2, XJ6, 420 and S-Type – although Ken recalls puzzling over quite why the front and rear of the S-Type looked as if they were styled by different people…
An early enthusiasm for all things Jaguar was obvious from an early age, when his father found him staring intently at the front of his newly purchased Rover P6… except as it turned out, what had caughtXJ6 Series 1 parked right behind it.
