- Goodwood and Jaguar are a match made in heaven. In fact, the first-ever race winner at Goodwood in 1948 was a Pycroft-Jaguar SS100. Ever since then, the very best racing cars the manufacturer produced were put to the test around our historic circuit.
That's a tradition that lives on strongly today thanks to Jaguar specialist companies such as CKL Developments. For the second episode in our Goodwood Masters series powered by Motul, we spent time with this incredible team to find out what makes them tick.

So much goodness in that shop! And seeing the young men learning the craft is wonderful. I would've loved to have apprenticed at a shop like this sixty years ago. I had the interest, I loved the cars, but there were no avenues for that then or there.
That's true and the teachers we had were no help.I told them I wanted a career in the motor industrybut they said 'you don't want to be a mechanic'.I agreed but they had no imagination ......never heard of Morgan etc.
@@roymcgavigan5018 Here in the US during the early '60s, there were shop programs but there was a push towards college, those taking shop were looked down on. I had been testing in the upper 98-99th percentile so shop was not an option. I only got into car restoration a decade or two later, finally spending 1998 in a large shop building doing solo rotisserie restorations on three Jaguar XK-E bodies. Floors, bulkheads, pontoons, door skins.
What an incredible place! I don't know which aspect thrills me more - the skills involved or the History on display!
How lucky is this man to repair and see my dreamcar, this man leave a great legacy
Outstanding! If I could turn the clock back 40yrs I'd love to be an apprentice here...
I was going to say the same!
What a fantastic place, thank goodness they're places like this. When I was originally involved in motor racing the D type had just been introduced, what a car. You made an old man very happy, thanks.
This was amazing, remarkable man and company.🏁
Worked (and played badminton) with Chris at Lynx back in the nineties. Nicest bloke you could ever meet.
I thought I was going to enjoy this and it certainly didn't disappoint! I remember dropping in on CKL with my late father before they moved to the 'new' premises and it was just incredible the cars that they were working on. We even took part in one of their track days at Goodwood and they are such a wonderful, knowledge group to be around. Looking forward to the next episode.
Really amazing. This brings back so many memories.
Hello Chris, long time no see! In my opinion you have taken exactly the right route to retirement by setting up the company to eventually flourish without you. I did exactly the same by converting my company to an Employee Ownership Trust a couple of years ago and the new senior team are already moving the business to a new level. Great to see that "my" (well you are only ever a custodian really) old E-Type is still very much part of the CKL fold as it is a key part of the company's history. It was always a pleasure dealing with you and your team and I wish you the very best for your retirement whenit finally comes.
Fascinating.
Probably the best art gallery in the World.....
I love seeing the E-GAL!
My dad ( who was REME in WW2 ) taught me how to wield a spanner commencing , I think , around age 8 . Loved it , and worked on all my own cars , but never really did it as a business , apart from buying crocks , doing them up ; and selling them on . In those days I could buy a car for a fiver & sell it fo 50 ; A huge profit then; Can't do it now of course , you simply can't find the cars & anyway they've all shot up in price
top jaguar shop in the world. xk100 project sounds amazing.
One of the reasons, I made sure my boys did an engineering apprenticeship just like I did, from there you can go most places....
This people are talented.
Amazing legends
What a great chap, very interesting!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing place, amazing video! I want to go and visit!
Very nice!
@2"44 is that a Thunderbird mill in that e-Type? 401 or 427 maybe? What a great video!!!
That is a 427 center oiler out of a Ford Galaxie, the infamous E-GAL!
@@markhale8084 Thank you!
What a great guy and legacy he's leaving.
Drop the bloody heavy metal
Wow, it SO minimal. Didn't even notice until I went back after reading this.
Maybe you have bigger things in your life to worry about - so it would seem. If you don't, you might create some!
