In this week's Jaguar podcast, we have a real treat in the form of an interview with Peter Leake. Peter was the Dealer Training Manager for Jaguar Cars during the period of the XK8 launch and beyond. In this podcast he shares insider information and stories from those days training Jaguar dealers through the BL and Ford era. He also talks us through the XK8 story from behind the scenes to explain just how crucial the success of that car to the success of the Jaguar brand. Richard West looks back with a tribute to Jaguar racing legend Johnny Dumfries, who died this week, aged 62. Plus, Tom Robinson brings us up to speed with the preparations being made to his XJR6 ahead of the new race season with the return of his weekly racing diary, direct from the Swallows Workshop!
