Sweet paintjob

Thanks everyone. Christian, it is definitely a revelation when you put the clear coat onto the colour shift paint. This one has the same colour shift as the Nissan Skyline in my albums, but that one was on a gloss black base. It's good fun experimenting with different base colours to see how the effect shows up.

You've made a terrific model, David, the paint finish is perfect, but, come on, one of the most beautiful cars ever built? Just take a look at Jaguar's back catalogue - C Type, D Type, E Type, XK 120, 140, 150, Mk1, Mk2, Mk10, to name just a few, all more beautiful than this British Leyland monster. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

George, I did say "one" of the most beautiful, all of the other Jags being right up there with it. My favourite would probably be the XJ13. The XJ220 is not a British Leyland monster. It was built while Ford owned Jaguar, and it was built by TWR anyway. I'd rate it's looks as far superior to any other supercar of the day, and probably any supercar of any generation.

Hi David, you're right, of course, but the design and concept happened while Jaguar were part of the British Leyland empire. The v-12 engine and four wheel drive were dropped to a turbo charged V6 and rear wheel drive due mainly to financial constraints, and many people cancelled their orders. Didn't the Metro 6R4 rally car use the same engine?
