Test drive summary

Extract from the article published in Jaguar World (former Jaguar Quarterly) No 3 Jan/Feb 1992:

"After a mile or so I decide it's time for action and Bertil agrees. Second gear take-off is phenomenal as the silky V12 pours on its power. Into third and acceleration reaches another plane, yet there's no tramp or throttle steer".

" The balance and poise is astonishing. The impression left by his V12 MK 2 had been deep and even jazz FM could not keep my thoughts from straying back to the Jag Sport creation as I drove the XJ the pretty way home. Here was a MK2 with probably better acceleration than a full racing version, yet with virtually unaltered looks and probably greater refinement than a standard 3.8, and fully capable of everyday use".

..."There is considerable interest, particularly in Germany, and output, by necessity, will be limited, and the product will be unique. I can't help wondering why nobody has done it before"
