If there was ever a reason to say that something has been over done, then this must be the case. Galpin who are the USA’s largest Jaguar dealer have come up with their own version of how the XF would have looked if they were designing it.
To be honest it looks ok from one angle, but when you look again it looks terrible, so it is hard to decide whether this car is good looking are completely awful. It’s just too hard to decide, you know that the car is fantastic, but this version is strange, maybe it is the colour!
The Galpin Jaguar XF is finished in a two tone red and black paint job, with colour coded red 22 inch alloy wheels, which incidentally look really cool! To finish off the rear tail lights have been smoked out, there is tinted glass all round and yes the red and theme continues into the passenger compartment, with the leather seats being finished in colour coded tones. No doubt there will be some one who likes this car, but it does remind you of the early eighties when people used to do this sort of thing to their Mark IV Cortina’s.

The accessories for the 207 has been launched by Peugeot UK and although not all of them have to be used, the finished article looks simply stunning and so it should really because the difference between the van and car, that the rear windows and seats have been removed, giving the van a distinct speed advantage because of the missing weight.
