I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected.

Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.

So there is German connection way back

that makes more sense

I think basically what happened was Gottleib Daimler invented the petrol engine, his company built the first vehicles in the 1880’s. Benz was a rival nearby.  An English company bought the right to use the Daimler name on cars. 

 Daimler died in 1900. After WW1 his corporation and Benz joined forces creating Mercedes Benz and the name of the parent company was and still is Daimler.   If that makes any sense.

Yes you are right. But for a time, maybe short there was the Daimler Benz Company

And then Joe Gutnick and Don Scott came along and made sure the two stayed separate. Do I recall correctly?

There was indeed. But to avert any confusion going forward they went with Mercedes Benz.

They are probably made in China these days!

Article on News.com.au saying the group  lost a large amount of money over the last year and needs to refinance to the tune of US$1billion. This could be even shorter than the Infiniti deal.

What a Beast!!!

It was my late Brother-in-law's.  He did it up in the 1980s.  

He was an exterior designer for Ford starting in the 70s and culminating in being Ford's head exterior designer.  The Jag was just one of many he played around with.

He did a nice job

V12?

Just an update after my earlier posts in this thread. The good folks at the Demon Shop have said that “we will have some available with our new sponsor Jaguar on the back within the next couple of weeks”, referring to the match day guernseys with the Jaguar logo on the back. ???

Unfortunately, Jag along with most brands have lost their distinctive difference in styling inside and out.  How do they market a car that looks like so many others ?

World wide competition is so great across the board whether it be top, middle or bottom of the range. All brands can only compete on new sale and resale price along with running cost, and perhaps fashion. 

Why buy a Jag (unless your an enthusiast and its an old one) over any other brand ?

Maybe status, but I can't see Jag in that category any more. Although that could be said for BMW, Audi, Benz etc. In the city these brands are a dime a dozen. In the country its very different and the choice of vehicle is usually Hilux or a Japanese 4wd !!

Perhaps someone with more knowledge of cars than me can identify what differentiates Jag.

I bet it did and they had good brakes if they were serviced correctly. 

My friends 4.2 would always stop dead straight

Im waiting on the New Defender , next year they reckon. :)

Though the new jag's do have good reviews, and I think we are a good fit for us.  Hopefully multi-year.

 

We have one New Defender, May, and another reconditioned one, Lever.

My question is can we get VW to sponsor Neville Jetta?

Saw on Facebook an article on one of the Demons fans pages... can’t remember which one but apparently there was an article predicting Jaguar going to go bankrupt as only a matter of time?? Can’t find link but seems very odd??

Trouble with all that era of Jags was that the huge lump of iron at the front could get the cars up to really high speeds, but the brakes were from the same era...totally inadequate for the momentum that had been developed. They could never take a corner at speed, and usually suffered severe brake fade after a couple of applications.

I’m sure that has all been rectified today, but all I care is that whoever owns Jaguar is paying us loads of money to keep our football club competitive.

I certainly don’t want to be in Port or St.Kildas situation hoping that chocolate milk producers are going to fork out anything substantial in sponsorship.

Like i said, if you had the brakes worked on properly they were very good at pulling up such a big car. Straight out of British Leyland i totally agree. 

And yes i also want the money to flow. 

The logo looks fabulous


Doing my annual winter trip to India at present. Yeah it's different and it's unbelievably hot outside the November to March period.

Almost every truck is a Tata so there's scope to think laterally if we want to bring in the brawn. Not that many years ago who had ever heard of Isuzu.

Isuzu ?

Anyone who owned a Rodeo ;)

Does anyone know how many years the deal is for? Typically if its not mentioned in the announcement its only a 1 year deal . Hope to be wrong.

Why do you say this? 

Because there is presumably a long lead time on these deals and it's disappointing that we are often the only club not to have a BOJ sponsor sorted by Round 1. Not this year, which is great.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
