Jaguar XJS / SCALEXTRIC
W.Percy, Ch.Nicholson. ETCC 1984 Donington Winner
The beginnings of Tom Walkinshaw and his competition team in the late seventies and early eighties were limited to preparations for competition Touring Cars for Mazda and Rover, but his definitive takeoff came with his agreement with Jaguar in 1982 to contest the ETCC with the Jaguar XJS. From there to the triumphs at Le Mans with the XJR-9 in 1988 and later in 1990.
But in 1984 the TWR team had three XJS to compete in the ETCC. Three XJS that from the beginning of the season were implacable with their rivals, mainly the innumerable BMW 635CSI.
Scalextric reproduces at 1:32 scale the Jaguar XJS of the TWR #2 team, with which Percy and Nicholson won the third round of the ETCC held in Donington.
This 1:32 scale model is available from this week in specialized centers of the brand.
