Well, it just so happens....

Oreca do loads of these, mostly Dijon based.  Or you can drive round the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans in a Ford GT/Lambo, you name it.  It depends where you are, really, but if I were a sports car enthusiast (as if...) I'd pick LM for its history.

For bikes, I'd ask Mr S Driver!

Hi Russethouse and Cooperlola,

Many thanks for the info. Dijon is certainly nearer to us BUT, not being a bike/car person, feel I ought to stick with his Harley/Jaguar dream.  I'm glad to see that this sort of thing is available in France as we have lots of friends who would love a gift of this sort. Personally, I'd prefer a couple of books and a bottle of wine, never having been the adventurous sort!

Thanks again for the help,

Sue.

Ooops, posted under bikes before I saw this

 try http://www.grandtouringclub.co.uk they have Jaguar E-Type Coupe, Jaguar E-Type V12 Convertible, Jaguar Mark II Saloon; or even piece de resistance SS100, make sure you haven't got short arms though.

if the budget doesn't do it then try www.jec.org.uk/ Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club (JEC) 
UK based with info about Jag events

Strive to be happy. Do one thing everyday that scares you!

Hey Bob.... they can be kind of fun. I had one a few bikes ago and in the right place, the right weather and in the right mood they can be kind of fun. I believe the new ones even have brakes now [:D](sadly mine didn't)! [:'(]

I'd consider getting another one even if just for the noise.[8-|]

[quote user="Bob T"]Why not organise a microlight flight instead. My wife was 60 the other day so we went flying and she enjoyed it, mind you she normally rides around on her 1100cc BMW motorbike.

My friend is terrified of heights!!! Glad you both enjoyed it though.

Sue.
