Just in time for Christmas, Jaguar has announced what will probably be the best gift for one of their fans: in exchange for a few of your dollars (or euros) the lucky recipient will be able to drive some of the most iconic vehicles to come out of the Coventry factory. The vehicles come from the large collection of cars that Jaguar Land Rover bought a few months back.

Starting at $136, the entry-level package gives you the opportunity to drive some legendary vehicles, like the Mark II, the E-Type Series 1 or the XK150. Those who wish can even experience Jaguar’s evolution by driving an original E-Type and a brand-new F-Type back-to-back.

If you want to live a truly memorable event (and are also ready to spend $2900), Jaguar offers you the complete deal: a one-day drive event where you can sample a large variety of cars, from a Le Mans-winning D and C-Type all the way to unique concepts developed by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operation. A very fancy dinner is also included, as is the transport from your hotel.

If you decide to live this experience, please note that you will have to arrange lodging and transportation to Fen End, Warwickshire, UK.
