Former BLACK SABBATH Drummer Bev Bevan Loves His Jag

Sundaymercury.net is reporting:
Brummie rock legend Bev Bevan is drumming up support for the Jaguar Land Rover campaign.
THE MOVE, ELO and BLACK SABBATH drummer owns a fleet of Jaguars and says he “beams like a schoolboy” when he gets behind the wheel of his XK8 soft-top.
But it was the E-Type which sparked a love affair with the Midland marque which has lasted as long as his marriage.
“It was, and still is, a design classic and it’s completely timeless,” said the 64 year-old, originally from Birmingham’s Sparkhill but who now lives in Warwickshire.“The E-Type was the car to have if you were in a rock band and when I saw (Move frontman) Carl Wayne driving one I was so jealous and knew I had to have one.
“The problem was he earned more than me and I had to settle for a Daimler saloon!
“When I eventually got the E-Type I went for the V12 and it was chocolate brown – very rock ‘n’ roll.
“I’ve owned Italian sports cars but they are so unreliable, whereas you know you can trust your Jag.
“I’ve had a couple of Aston Martins as well but it’s got to be a Jag now.”
