another van.

anyone notice anything not quite right...?

It was built by TWR in the early 90's as a rolling testbed. It waslighter than the 220 & would hit 60 quicker! Top speed at Millbrookwas 170 mph. One lucky engineer (Patrick Walker) used to take it home at weekends for milage accumulation. The van was built to drive in citytraffic and was a very important part of the XJ220 development as theyhad the test track at Millbrook to do the high speed work but nothingwould test the car in city traffic,and Jaguar would not like to havebad press with a 220 at the side of the road, so the van was built as atest bed for every day driving in gridlock conditions. It is basicallyan XJ220 with a Transit Bodyshell stuck on top of it.
