In October 1960 Jaguar Cars Limited selected 1628 VC to be "Allotted to Experimental Department to be run to destruction to find any fault that may develop". On many occasions, during this period, Roy Salvadori drove 1628 VC. By June 1962, Jaguar legend Lofty England sold 1628 VC to successful privateer John Sparrow, who with co-drivers Neil Dangerfield and Mike Pendleton achieved numerous successful results at famous venues such as Goodwood, Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Spa, Zandvoort and the Nürburgring. After a career change in the late sixties (when the car was fitted with an ex-Daytona 500 works Chevrolet 7-litre V8 and became the dragster 'SS Draguar') it was retired. Jonathan and Jackie Suckling then rescued and restored 1628 VC, which has since featured in prestige international historic touring car events, such as Top Hat and the Goodwood Revival. Such noted drivers as Tony Dron, Win Percy, Tiff Needell and Emanuele Pirro have driven it and its numerous wins in historic events fittingly emulate this great car's original successes.
