Dear Nigel,

I’d start by getting rid of the entire board of management starting first with those in charge of marketing. Jaguar is obsessed with its past whether it’s wins at Le Mans in the 1950s or the E-Type. It has virtually no relevance for a younger generation. The cars themselves aren’t the problem, it’s the brand image.
