How to butcher the world's most beautiful car!


Jaguar Other F Type R with Warranty | eBay

I find it hard to believe someone would actually do this to a car.

Yes, rather tacky!

Reminds me when one day as I was picking up my XJL from the dealer's service I saw a truly pimped out XJL parked right in front of the service. It was lowered far too much, blacked out with flat black trim, flat black huge wheels with nothing but a rubber band around them for tires. It looked terrible, IMO.

I asked the Service Manager rhetorically: "Who would do such thing to a Jaguar?"

He whispered into my ear the name of one of the highest paid NFL players. Goes to show you that money and taste can walk very divergent paths.

That F-Type is reminiscent of 1960s BRM racing cars. It doesn't offend me too much, although that grey is not the right colour to offset the orange.

I guess it does look sort of like a BRM race car!

Wow, each to their own I guess, certainly not to my tastes, although I guess I've seen a lot worse

The only saving grace is that you can probably peel off the wrap.

Looks like he is going after the Aston Martin Vantage Rally GT look. I saw one of these at the gas station filling up. To each his own.
