The Path Of The Jaguar
Some stories related to our girlfriend on wheels, are written a long time ago, even before that we can imagine. These are loves at first sight, those who light a spark of passion that knows no end or treason. Our loyalty to a brand is never a conscious decision made with the head, but with the heart. That’s what pounds every time we open the garage door and we see our creature ready, waiting for an adventure, a long journey, a Sunday drive or simply to accompany us to work. And if the creature in question is a “Jaguar”, it can’t be anything but a boundless love.
Jazz is a true Jaguar fan and deal with his Jaguar as a pet. It is in effect a member of the family and not only a car. Driving it is a carefree and fun moment and not just a daily necessity. How to blame him after all; the roar of the 4.2 Supercharged V8 of his XJR is already exciting in origin, try to imagine that under the hood there are several improvements, such as a re-mapping of the ECU, a new air filter and a not silenced exhaust that gives voice to the powerful engine through a couple of tailpipes. The luxurious and comfortable sedan has become a devil, spitting fire at each acceleration, while horses have increased from 400 to over 450, especially displacing more torque at low revs. Jazz model is a 2003, which is the first year of the penultimate series of XJ, those that are still marked by the classic Jag look that has stuck in various models for different generations. An unmistakable trademark, made here even more unique thanks to its owner and a true devotion passed through a complete make-up, starting from the livery choice: the French racing blue (like the new high performance Jag models).
But it’s not only a matter of engine tuning, new color and rims. What has been done on this car is something sensational, something that exudes a huge passion, especially in those details (which make the difference), that only jump out with a closer look. Have you noticed the bolts in the engine compartment? Or the constant blue/black pattern of the exterior, only broken by the beige leather seats. Not to mention the “VIP area” at the rear, equipped with heated and multifunctional seats, DVD player, Alpine stereo and even a bottle of Vodka in body color, perfectly placed inside an handmade “champagne table”.
Well, it could not be otherwise, for a boy born in Coventry, with the name Sheregill, which in Indian language means “tiger”. Any object matching his V8, will end on the XJR, for drifting up to 100 per hour in under 5 seconds.
“I love this car for several reasons. It is big, comfortable and spacious, but despite such luxury also offers plenty of fun at the wheel, thanks to a car body made of aluminum and performance worthy of tiny sports cars, certainly less comfortable. I wanted to give it a personal touch, updating a large number of details and transforming it into a kind of XJR-S, thanks to the wrap and everything else. I am member of several Jaguar owners clubs and my car is for me a source of great pride. There is everything. Luxury, elegance, power. One day, I hope I can fulfill my dream and also possess an E-Type.”
Let me say that, I assure you that Jazz XJR is one of the most beautiful Jaguar I’ve ever seen. Perfect as if it had just come out of the factory, heads turner and as soon as it speeds ahead, giving vent to its V8, also satisfies your hears.
And then, that black jaguar on the bonnet … so spectacular.
