JAGUAR XJ5.3 PT-106 (UK) 143740


The Jaguar was nowhere near as successful as the BMW in real life, but boy did it have a presence. I saw one of these in action at Silverstone in 1990 and it was a veritable monster. Someone at Lesney was also similarly moved to produce a body as it's a bit of a curiousity.

The big Jag looked the part too, in Access livery and it's contemporary Leyland reference, it was a very exciting addition to the Powertrack range.


The car was available in the US as an accessory, but was only ever packed with the slipstream set. That car was the revolting yellow version. This also had the dorsal adornment of the lap counter activator (below), though it is missing on the box artwork (above).


Apart from the stillborn Positraction version and the PPlus upgrade there are no remarkable variations of this Jaguar, but it remains an exciting Powertrack car.
