(NOTE: Due to a copyright claim from "Duke Marketing Ltd" which owns the racing footage, I had to cover those parts).




Documentary made about the superb super-car, the Jaguar XJ220.

It features an interview with the car's "father", (former) Jaguar's chief engineer Jim Randle, as well as the car's body stylist, Keith Helfet.

Also factory footage of making the manufacturing the car, as well as a full 7+ mins. track run footage (complete with cool 80's-like music).

The documentary seems to have been made between 1992 and 1994, as the car is referred to as the fastest production car in the world, something that was true until 1994 when the McLaren F1 came along.

This is from a vhs tape, so quality of transfer is not perfect.
