Throughout the summer of 1968 and into 1969, MWK 28G was used by Jaguar as one of the 'press cars' for the XJ launch ('Press Car One') - to be photographed and featured in road tests for motoring magazines such as Car, Autocar and Motor. 

It has continued to appear periodically in the motoring press ever since.
