“How was I through that corner?”

And the Alfa coupes of the 60s ...

The S Class’s design really doesn’t look good scaled down onto the C. From the rear everything looks crammed together.

Oh dear, someone has strapped a diving board to the front of that one.

The 3200 CS was straight from the pen of Giugiaro, while the E9 was an in-house evolution of that design. I prefer the E9’s grille though.

Not as bad as the tacky Audi-style christmas lights.

Catch fence doesn’t help when a car gets 15’ in the air and clears it.

Wrong

What the hell is going on with these lights? This is how a Mk2 should look:

Aftermarket M-badges serve a useful purpose though: letting people know at a glance that it’s not a real M model.

Well, Ferrari were meant to build 100 examples of the 250 GTO to homologate it for Group 3, but they built 39 and used non-sequential chassis numbers to fool the FIA. So by the logic of Jaguar’s loophole they could still make another 61.

There’s a Channel 4 documentary, “Inside Jaguar: Making a Million Pound Car”, about this project and the controversy around it in classic car circles. Here on YouTube:

Now playing

It’s on YouTube, if you’re outside the UK (or can work a proxy):

I can see why they’re controversial. It would be like if Ferrari decided to make a few more 250 GTOs, and they had equal status with the originals.

Lord March has said they won’t be welcome at the Goodwood Revival. He regards them as replicas, which don’t qualify.

Pininfarina ended up putting some of the Quartz’s DNA in the 916 GTV too:

That looks a lot like the Audi Quartz concept.

Are you sure it’s not an updated 126?

By far the nicest iteration of the Panda’s front grill.

Oversteer?
