Granted, everything looks better in London when the sun is out. But you will agree in the case of this Jaguar F-Type Project 7 the sight is heavenly, what with the car being extremely beautiful in its own right. The photos you are about to see after the jump will make every Brit proud. You can almost hear Elgar in the background.
And the best thing is, for once it’s not an Arab super car we see puncturing the beauty of London with its gold wrap and 86 inch rims. It’s a right-hand-drive Jaguar F-Type Project 7 on British plates, finished in a quintessentially European Ultra Blue inspired by old Le Mans liveries complete with white decals, parked in front of a Prada store.
So refreshing, isn’t it? At least until you remember Jaguar is owned by Indians and that Prada store is in all probability a property of the Sheikh of Qatar.
